The Beeches is a beautiful period property dating back to 1881 which has been transformed in the past few years and is now a high-spec family home with contemporary style complemented by original character.

Nadime Dixon, who is marketing the house on behalf of Cumbrian Properties, said: “It is in a lovely coastal hamlet within the Lake District National Park and is for sale with the benefit of a one-bedroom annex.

“Because of its situation, including the fact that it is conveniently situated for the major tourist attraction of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, not to mention Muncaster Castle, it is sure to be of interest to a range of buyers.”

The Beeches is an attractive home with a traditional build. It has an entrance hall with tiled flooring leading to the downstairs reception rooms of a lounge and dining room.

Both these rooms have feature fireplaces with multi-fuel stoves and double doors open into the kitchen from the dining room.

The kitchen is fitted with a good array of wall and floor units with integrated appliances, spotlights and a tiled floor. A rear vestibule with a large generous storage cupboard is adjacent from where doors lead to the annex.

This comprises of a double bedroom with Velux window and pull-down ladder to a storage area and a three-piece bathroom.

“From the entrance hall stairs rise to a split-level landing with beautiful period stained-glass window and doors to the bedrooms and bathroom,” said Nadime. “There are three double bedrooms and a single.

“Two of the doubles have vaulted ceilings and spotlights and one has the original feature fireplace. The third double bedroom has access via a pull-down ladder to a partially boarded loft space with lighting, yet another excellent storage area in this spacious home.

“The bathroom is a dream - I’m pretty envious of it, I have to say! It is luxuriously appointed with a freestanding roll-top bath and a walk-in shower- a lovely chill-out zone!”

Outside The Beeches is a front garden with lawn while the back has an enclosed yard and separate stone-walled garden with a lawn and lovely countryside views.
