The Property
The Station Masters House is an attractive late Victorian property, originally built for the station master of the adjoining former railway station (which closed many years ago) on the scenic Settle to Carlisle line. Full of character and charming period features such as original mullioned windows, wood paneling and wrought iron fireplaces, the property is beautifully and sympathetically decorated with a delightful homely atmosphere.
Elegant black and white Italian marble floor tiles run through the entrance hall into the kitchen/dining room and recreates the feel of a grand station waiting room. Glazed double doors between the two spaces allow light to flood through from the windows to three sides in the kitchen. The kitchen features a good range of bespoke wall and floor units in oak, including an integrated dishwasher, full height fridge and full height freezer. A Lacanche range cooker and Belfast double sink continue the period feel and there is ample space for a table and chairs to seat at least six diners. Beside the kitchen, a spacious utility room contains laundry and storage facilities, and provides a side door out to the garage. A study with fantastic bespoke floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in maple/burr elm (which can be purchased separately if required), opens straight onto the patio and a handy downstairs WC is situated beside the staircase to the first floor.
Two reception rooms; a family room and a sitting room/snug complete the ground floor. The family room is a light, calming room with feature fireplace and a door to the porch and garden beyond. The sitting room/snug has wonderful three-quarter height oak paneling and harks back to the Victorian station master days. This room also has a cast iron fireplace.
Stairs from the hall lead up to the first floor and the bright principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and modern ensuite shower room. Three further very pleasantly decorated bedrooms are served by a smart bathroom with shower over the bath. A hatch on the landing leads up to loft storage.
Externally
The Station Masters House is approached along a paved driveway offering parking for several vehicles and access to the detached stone built garage to match the architecture of the house. Large lawns covering two sides of the property are bordered by mature trees and hedges, providing excellent shelter and privacy, and a patio with beautiful ornate paving wraps around two sides of the property; the perfect place to relax in the sunshine and enjoy al fresco dining. Outdoor storage and gardening opportunities can be found in the greenhouse and wooden shed, and the pond is a haven for wildlife.
Local Information
Great Ormside is a small, picturesque village in the Eden Valley, just outside the Yorkshire Dales National Park and close to the Lake District National Park and North Pennines, offering unspoiled countryside and fells for hill walking and climbing. There is also the smaller neighbouring hamlet of Little Ormside. The market town of Appleby is a short distance away with further amenities, including a secondary school, and the regional centre of Penrith is within easy reach, providing comprehensive cultural, educational and recreational opportunities, along with excellent shopping facilities.
Ormside is well placed for transport links, lying between the A66, A685 and just over 15 minutes’ drive from the M6 at Junction 38. Appleby railway station is on the Settle-Carlisle train line and main line rail services are available at Penrith which provide fast (under 3 hours) and frequent services to London in the south and to Glasgow in the north. The rail station at Carlisle provides regular connecting services east to Newcastle. The new Carlisle Lake District Airport is easily accessible and operates scheduled flights to London Southend, Belfast and Dublin.
