6 Bedroom Detached for sale in North West, England for GBP £765,000

A handsome detached residence, substantially constructed and offering well-proportioned accommodation with outstanding views.
Inspection of this attractive property is strongly recommended

The house stands close to the village of Newbiggin-on-Lune. This is an attractive rural community on the northern fringes of the Howgill Fells. The surrounding countryside is exceedingly beautiful and there is a good deal of open fell land with many fine walks. The area also has good communications with the M6 [Junction 38] and A66 trans-Pennine trunk route both within easy reach. The towns of Penrith and Kendal are readily accessible, with the old market town of Kirkby Stephen within a few minutes’ drive.

Lune Hall dates from the late-19th Century and has a handsome Victorian appearance. It is substantially constructed in local materials, with the front façade being in partially dressed limestone. The styling is a little unusual, with a projecting roof to create south-facing verandah areas.

Internally the accommodation has many period features, with the property fortunate in retaining original fireplaces and an impressive reception hall with stained glass door and side screens. There is also good deal of decorative plasterwork. It is well proportioned, having four good reception rooms, six bedrooms [two en-suite] and attic rooms.

The house has a delightful southerly aspect overlooking open countryside towards the Howgill Fells and Blue Bell, the source of the River Lune. There are mature and good-sized gardens, with a large rear garage.
