BEING able to come home from work to a beautiful home with lovely views and in a peaceful location is a winning combination.

It is easy to understand why Brian and Susan Rome have lived in and enjoyed their home for more than 20 years.

The property - Inglewood House, Foxfield - is a modern detached home with four double bedrooms with the master having an en-suite. There is an entrance porch, inner hall, ground floor cloaks/WC, lounge, conservatory, kitchen diner, utility area and to the first floor the master double bedroom with en-suite shower room and then three further double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Outside to the front is a paved driveway to the garage and lovely side and back gardens with well maintained lawns, borders and ornamental pond. There is also a brindle shaded brick patio looking on to an open field.

Brian said: “I had worked abroad but came back to a local job and had taken a good look around the area before finding this house.

“We have retired now but it was really handy for work at the time and in a quiet location with a lovely welcoming community close by.

“This was what we wanted for ourselves and two children.

“We modernised the kitchen three or four years ago with new floor tiles and changed the kitchen units.

“We modernised the en-suite to the master bedroom later and added a conservatory.

“We love the conservatory because it gets all-day sun.”

One of the many highlights of the house which everyone talks about is the views, including the Coniston fells from the back garden.

From the entrance porch with its lovely slate grey shaded ceramic floor a door leads to the kitchen diner and a separate door from there leads into to the inner hall.

The inner hall has separate doors to the garage, lounge and cloakroom with a handy WC. The inner hall also has convenient under-stairs storage.

With the cloakroom, utility area and under-stairs storage there is plenty of space for all the things that go with a busy outdoors family.

The big airy lounge faces to the back of the house and you can see open fields with the mountains in the distance. The multi-fuel stove has a polished Burlington blue slate hearth.

With the patio window/door the room gets plenty of natural light and has easy access to the conservatory. Again the conservatory with its light terracotta tiles looks out to open fields and the fells. It is a beautiful view.

Twin French doors lead to the patio in the back garden. In the warm weather this is the perfect room for all the family.

Going up the attractive spindled staircase, the first floor landing gives access to the insulated loft which has also been part boarded out.

The master bedroom looks out over open fields with the mountains in the distance. The second bedroom has views of the Duddon Estuary to the front and the Lakeland mountains to the back. The other two double bedrooms also have wonderful views.

Brian added that along with the front and back gardens the house has a bonus one to the side with well kept lawns, borders, an apple tree and ornamental pond.

Brian and Susan are selling the house because their two children have left home now and they are looking to downsize and then spend time in their holiday home in France.

He said: “We have really loved the house and living in this area, but now we want to downsize.

“It is a lovely family home that should be enjoyed by another family."
