The Property
Shotover stands in an incredible location with truly
sensational
views
from both the
House and Garden
sweeping
from Bassenthwaite, over
Majestic
Skiddaw and down to Derwent Water. The property occupies an
elevated
position on the edge of Braithwaite, a
popular
village
at the foot of the Whinlatter Pass and close to the thriving
Market Town
of Keswick.
The living accommodation has been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the wonderful
views
, with the sitting room and kitchen/dining room on the first floor to benefit from the elevation. The sitting room has
full height
glazing filling the room with light and framing the scenes beyond. A
woodburning stove
sits to one end beneath a lovely wooden mantel. The
open plan
kitchen and dining room has a
country style
with extensive fitted Pippy Oak units and a grand gas-fired
AGA
. The dining area has a superb dual aspect. To the rear is the oak framed
conservatory
by Woodstyle Joinery with a slate roof and access to the rear gardens. There are three bedrooms on the first floor with varying outlooks and the option to use one as an inspiring
home office
. The bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
The main entrance to Shotover is on the ground floor through the green slate entrance porch to the reception hall. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, each with an
en-suite
shower room. One bedroom is currently configured as a
Games room
. A hugely generous utility room provides excellent space for white goods and has access to the
integral garage
and a useful WC.
Externally
To the front of Shotover there is a
terraced
garden and a private driveway with ample parking that leads to the
integral garage
with remote controlled up-and-over door, lighting and power. Steps lead up one side of the house to the rear garden whilst a path leads along the front to a patio area. The rear garden is also accessed directly from the
conservatory
.
The
tiered
rear garden features a grass area, raiased
vegetable
beds,
fruit trees
and well-established plantings. The lovely
greenhouse
benefits from automatic opening vents and a self-watering system. Continuing up through a fenced area with gate leads to an ample log store and access to further garden which is mainly wild and natural with new tree planting. The
views
from this stunning point are second to none, capturing Grisedale Pike, Ullock, Binsey, Barf and Bassenthwaite
lake
.
