This magnificent, detached farmhouse, with its own private leisure centre, is set in five acres of its own grounds on a high hillside above the Lune Valley, just three and a half miles from Sedbergh and ten miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. A most enviable location with five acres of its own grounds, direct access to open and dramatic moorland including Barbon Fell and magnificent all-round views of this beautiful corner of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Transformed in 2008 from a former farmhouse, no expense was spared in creating this three-storey holiday home, with high tech installations throughout, integrated sound systems, sophisticated lighting systems, modern building techniques, underfloor heating throughout and the latest in solar power which all go together to provide a holiday home of considerable merit. Featuring a first-class purpose-built leisure facility which takes up the whole of the lower ground floor.
Again, little expense has been spared in setting up this first-rate facility which includes a fabulous fifteen metre heated swimming pool, a separate steam room and sauna, a built in sunken seven-seater Jacuzzi and a spiral staircase leads down to a small yoga/pilates area. The whole area is detailed with a polished stone tiled surround with a delightful seating area, a reflective bespoke ceiling, integrated lighting systems and the full-length windows afford excellent views across the Lune valley.
The main entrance leads through into a generously proportioned kitchen, fitted to a very high specification with polished granite worktops, limestone tiling, a Rangemaster 3 cooker with gas hob and hot plate, Belfast sink and adjoining pantry with impressive drinks fridge. The adjoining dining room enjoys twin French doors out onto a south facing sun terrace.
A large space able to seat the group in comfort and an ideal location to enjoy a sumptuous, cooked meal, relax and take in the wonderful views. An open hallway with full length windows, a beautiful limestone floor and gallery leads guests through to a comfortable snug with stylish furniture, a welcoming wood-burner and patio doors leading out onto the main south facing patio area.
