Description
A long tree lined driveway leads to three properties, Larkbarrow being the most tucked away, backing onto open fields and set in manicured gardens and grounds with versatile accommodation and outbuildings giving
huge potential to convert to further living space.
The historic setting has been used for habitation for hundreds of years, believed to have been a resting place for monks, the smaller detached stone building understood to have been there before the house was built. The main house, set aside a large gravel parking area has been updated and extended significantly by the present
owners, creating an excellent living space suiting a family - especially with dependent relatives or wanting private guest accommodation.
A large open reception hall flows into a lovely dining room with wood burning stove and on through to a further reception room presently used as a study. This opens into a newly created conservatory leading directly into the front south facing garden. At the back of the house is a very warm and cosy drawing room with blue lias flagstones and an open fireplace, perfect for winter evenings, with access on to the rear
patio. There are five double bedrooms, two with en suite bath/shower rooms and a further family bathroom, accessed off two separate staircases. At the far side of the main reception hall is a substantial kitchen/breakfast room with a glass lantern light pouring in sunshine and doors open into a kitchen garden at the side of the house
leading into the parking area. An old cow byre at the back of the house has been beautifully transformed to create an excellent vaulted ceiling living space with wood panelled walls. At one side stairs rise up to an open galleried music room, beneath which is a double bedroom with an en
suite shower room. A staircase rises the far side up to a bedroom, below being a shower room and utility room. The house has a wealth of period features, far reaching rural views and is presented to a very high standard.
The gardens are well stocked, surrounded by trees and level lawns which sit to the front and side of the house, while to the rear is a lovely patio and greenhouse enjoying views of the fields to the rear. Steps lead down to a lovely old two storey stone building which planning permission has been obtained to create a one bedroom dwelling. Past this is a shaded paddock with mature trees leading down to the drive. Across the drive is
a further paddock leading up the to top of the drive.
