The Coach House is a gem of a property which has individuality, character and sheer quirkiness. It's a very unique three-bedroom/two-bathroom attached property with amazing views, a great garden and a garage.

Let's start with Watch Cross...

Dating back to the early 1900s and built to exacting standards by master craftsman the property has been sympathetically and beautifully renovated by the current owner to provide the perfect family home.

Externally the Kirkstone Sandstone exterior sets the property off beautifully. The interiors have been lovingly renovated, with quality fixtures and fittings blending with stunning period features, including a magnificent English Oak staircase.

A sweeping driveway leads to the front door...and what an entrance!

You walk through a vestibule and are greeted by the wonderful English Oak staircase that effortlessly leads up to the first floor.

The main hall leads off to the left to the stunning kitchen/diner which is fitted with quality cabinets set off brilliantly by the striking granite worksurface.

This room opens to a utility area which then leads to the 'East Wing' of the house with its separate annexe potential.

In this part of the house, there is a third reception room and a ground-floor shower room.

The hall also opens directly onto one of the raised terraces at the rear where you can take in the views across the rolling Cumbrian countryside towards the Pennine hills.

Off the right of the main hall take your pick from either of the spacious reception rooms in this part of the house, both dual aspect and flooded with natural light.

On the first floor, a fabulous landing area leads to all six bedrooms and the family bathroom where you can indulge yourself in the copper bath whilst looking out towards the surrounding countryside.

Watch Cross benefits from fabulous private gardens, with raised terraces, and wonderful views.

Now to The Coach House - Next door...

In terms of 'kerb appeal' The Coach House has it all!

This attached house has a lovely sandstone front that sets the property off.

It is nestled in a courtyard next to a stunning country house.

Light fills the house and your eyes are immediately drawn left to the stunning kitchen/diner.

The ground floor also benefits from a WC/cloakroom. Onto the first floor where a lovely landing area takes you to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The main bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room. A great feature of the house is that you can access the first floor from the outside steps.

Whilst the house inside is outstanding, the outside is seriously impressive too.

The garden to the rear is quite something. Much larger than you would expect with a fabulous decked area where you can enjoy the surroundings.

Here you feel tucked away from it all and you could genuinely spend hours in this space pottering around.
