On entering the property through a traditional front door, the entrance
provides immediate access into the heart of the home, the kitchen. It’s
diffi cult to decide which room one would spend the most time in at Bank
House, but this certainly has to be a contender! Full of charisma and
traditional features, the kitchen cabinets have been hand crafted locally
and are topped with Silestone worktops, upstands and the slate fl oors
that enjoy underfl oor heating and all add charm whilst the sash windows
fl ood the room with light and provide the most spectacular far reaching
views towards the Duddon Estuary. A range of quality integrated appliances
include a washing machine, dishwasher, wine cooler, microwave, deluxe
range cooker, extractor and a tall fridge. There is ample space in the centre
of this room for a generous dining table, a great space for entertaining the
whole family. A practical built in cloaks cupboard is a great addition for
hanging coats and muddy boots! From the kitchen, the welcoming hallway
with exposed fl oor boards, is full of quirky and in keeping exposed features
and sets the tone of what to expect from this striking home. A useful
ground fl oor facility, adjacent to the kitchen is where you will fi nd the
pantry, which houses the original meat slabs and contains slate fl oors with
an abundance of shelving. The snug is such a gorgeous cosy room; exposed
beams, sash windows with a window seat providing perfect viewing enjoying
elevated views of the sea and the Duddon Estuary, oak fl ooring and a
multi fuel stove set in an inglenook fi replace, this is certainly to be enjoyed
in the evenings and the winter months! Tucked away just off the snug, there
is a versatile space which is used at present as a study; this too enjoys some
fabulous aspects. Originally the old dairy, a couple of steps lead down into
the sitting room, this is a stunning room with beautiful sash windows to
two sides that provide light but also allow viewing of spectacular vistas,
the double doors provide access into the garden and patio area. A beautiful
fi replace houses a living fl ame, adding to the country charm of this Lakeland
home.
