The lifestyle you have always wanted - The property you have always dreamed of - Welcome to The Hollies...

Situated in the picturesque village of Cumrew in the glorious Eden Valley - live here and you can escape from all the stresses of the modern world. QUOTE AP0121

This is true authentic Cumbrian life, and it feels like stepping back into a bygone era.

The location is simply stunning, away from the Lake District tourist honeypots in one of Cumbria's hidden gem locations - a world of calmness and solitude awaits.

Whilst the location is unquestionably beautiful, the property is a genuine showstopper!

Having the perfect mix of traditional and modern, you will find your every whim catered for.

From the front, the property has fabulous curb appeal and this double-fronted sandstone property sits as pretty as a picture on a perfectly proportioned plot.

The current owners have done so much to enhance this gorgeous house in their time here, and have sympathetically extended the accommodation to create the ultimate lifestyle home. They have also taken care of many practicalities (a lot unseen) and have also acquired additional parking to the rear of the house - perfect for campervans and motorhomes.

There are two entrances at the front of the property. 

Let's start the tour by taking the entrance to the left-hand side of the property (as you look at it) where the cleverly planned and executed extension is located.

There's a lovely covered porch with a doorway opening into the property.

As soon as you enter this house, the quality is immediately evident and you simply feel at home.

This entrance hallway area benefits from a fabulous cloakroom/WC to the left and it also opens to the right into a beautiful first reception room - which is currently set up as a dining/family space.

This reception area has a wonderful feel, and your eyes will be drawn to the stove, which provides a brilliant room centrepiece, as well as a constant source of comfort and heat whilst you're hunkering down in the Cumbrian winter.

You enter the incredible and recently created kitchen/diner from this room.

This is a truly spectacular room and absolutely the heart of this outstanding property.

You will spend much of your free time centred around this space.

Light fills this room perfectly and the kitchen is fitted with a quality range of wall and base units incorporating quality appliances with a striking work surface, as well as a stunning centre island.

The direct link from this room to the side/rear garden is fantastic, and the sliding doors can be opened up to create a seamless indoor/outdoor link.

Off the kitchen, there is a very handy and practical utility room.

Also, opening from the dining family space you access the truly delightful main living room.

This is the second reception room. Again, the stove takes centre stage and the recessed shelving, which you could fill with your favourite books, adds depth and character.

This house is an absolute joy to spend time in and perfect for hosting and family get-togethers.

The way that the reception rooms and kitchen link together provides a superb large social space.

From the living room, there is a door into the original entrance hallway, which has stairs up to the first floor and a door leading to yet another magical reception space.

The third reception room/space has a very calm and relaxed feel and again features a stove to keep the worst of winter at bay.

This room has a real escape from the world feel and you can imagine getting warm and cosy in the winter months here.

Whilst the ground floor is without doubt imposing the first floor will not disappoint either.

There are four bedrooms, with three being very good-sized doubles.

The double-aspect main bedroom features a sublime ensuite shower room.

There is also a family bathroom.

An intriguing and endearing feature of this house is the next-door Bothy.

There is so much scope for this space, or you can simply leave it as it is and use it for pottering and storage.

If you did want a little project, then The Bothy could provide you with a fabulous opportunity.

Creative types will love this space and you could set it up in many different forms as the ultimate work-from-home place.

Alternatively, if you wanted to generate additional income, you could look at the potential to incorporate an Airbnb-type set-up - subject to planning.

The Bothy is much bigger than it looks from the front with two floors to go at.

The ground floor is currently utilised for storage but does offer fantastic potential with an original fireplace, beams to the ceiling, electricity and power, water and drainage.

From the ground floor, there are stairs leading to the first floor which features exposed beams.

Outside:

To the front of the property there are attractive front gardens with well-stocked flower beds and a block paved pathway leads round the property.

There's a driveway providing off-street parking which is positioned in front of The Bothy.

The rear garden is private and offers a great space for entertaining. There are well-stocked walled flower beds a vegetable patch and steps up to a ceramic patio area.

From this point, there is further off-street parking with the recently acquired parking situated at the rear of the property. There is also access to a generous store area which is ideal for housing garden furniture and garden implements. 

Location:
