The Property
Rich in history and character, The Lime Kiln, dating back to 1829, presents an attractive opportunity to own a piece of local heritage. Once a coach house, this unique property has undergone a recent, thoughtful, and comprehensive transformation, sympathetically reimagined as a modern family home that retains much of its original character.

The property boasts distinctive features such as exposed limestone walls, original fireplaces, and attractive period details. Inside, the main living areas are generously proportioned and filled with natural light. A central hallway branches off to a contemporary kitchen/diner that spans the length of the house. The kitchen is fitted with modern appliances, including a Qooker boiling water tap, double fridge-freezer, double oven, and a combi microwave. Large French doors open onto the beautifully landscaped, south-facing garden.

Across the hallway, two substantial lounges provide ample reception space. The first lounge features a breakfast bar for casual dining, while the second, formerly the coach works’ ironmonger’s, boasts French doors leading to outdoor decking, oak engineered flooring, and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner at its centre. A staircase within this room grants exclusive access to a first-floor office with an adjoining shower room. A WC and a versatile office/playroom, adjacent to the main stairwell, complete the ground floor. Below, the basement has been tastefully renovated into a gym, wine cellar, and utility area – offering substantial, flexible space suited to a variety of uses. The gym and utility area both benefit from central heating.

The Lime Kiln has been meticulously updated with modern amenities, including a complete rewire, insulated plasterboard throughout, a new oil tank, and modern bathrooms featuring bespoke local craftsmanship.

The upper floors house the home’s well-appointed bedrooms. On the first floor, two generously proportioned bedrooms each feature spacious, modern en-suites with showers and roll-top bathtubs. The luxurious principal suite benefits from bespoke lighting, vanity mirrors, and the added luxury of a dressing room.

The second and final floor features a further three bedrooms, a spacious office – which could be utilised as a fourth bedroom, and a modern family bathroom.

Externally
The south-facing garden, recently landscaped, offers a private retreat backing onto an old quarry and enclosed by mature trees. A spacious outdoor patio, accessible from the kitchen/diner, provides a perfect space for outdoor relaxation. Beyond, the terraced garden is bordered by locally sourced stone walls, featuring lawned areas, vegetable beds, and mature plantings. A streetlamp sourced from Maryport Docks adds to the character of the outdoor space.
