Arlecdon Parks Road, Arlecdon, Frizington, CA26

A truly stunning stone built Georgian farmhouse, circa 1800, which is not listed and is situated very close to the Western end of the Lake District National Park boundary and a short drive to Whitehaven, Cockermouth and Workington. The property has been significantly modernised throughout; however, it retains many original features one would expect of a Georgian home with an abundance of character throughout. There is mains gas and water and a septic tank, with high-speed broadband available.

The property has been tastefully developed on four levels and comprises of five large bedrooms, three of which have en suite facilities. On the ground floor, a beautiful open plan kitchen & sitting room with adjacent boot room & utility. From the entrance hallway there is a dining room, a study, a home gym and a sunroom overlooking the extensive gardens. On the first floor is the master bedroom, with Jack and Jill en suite shower room and walk in Jack and Jill dressing room. There are two further significant bedrooms on this floor and a family bathroom. Stairs leading to the second-floor landing give access to two large en suite bedrooms. The lower ground floor rooms, are accessed from the main entrance hallway, include a movie room, a small craft room and a large quilt/sewing room.

The farmhouse benefits greatly from an attached barn that has a large double door entrance from the rear paved driveway, allowing its use as a garage. There is also a front driveway with a stone path. Both drives have room for numerous cars. The barn also has an internal door from the utility room and a mezzanine floor, making it an effective extension to the house. The property has excellent energy efficiency credentials, including solar PV for electricity supply and solar thermal for heating water on the large Buttermere Slate roof, which is south facing. Additional outbuildings offer both a garden store and a large workshop. The mature gardens are secluded and laid out in three distinct sections totalling a couple of acres. The bottom garden has a private gate access directly onto the National Coast to Coast (C2C) path, making it ideal for quiet walks into the National Park or cycling.
