SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
The property consists of a substantial detached house with extensive accommodation which is situate in the Parish of Preston Patrick on the outskirts of Crooklands and within half a mile of the M6 at Junction 36 at Crooklands. The property is set in established gardens and grounds extending to about 1.58 acres and enjoys good views of the surrounding beautiful countryside, including Farleton Knott.
Although the property is close to the M6, its presence does not impinge on the enjoyment of the house or its grounds, being in a cutting where it passes in front of the house. Due to the proximity of the M6 at Junction 36 (Crooklands), the following towns and cities are all within easy reach. Kendal (8 miles), Lancaster (15 miles), Penrith (35 miles), Preston (36 miles), Carlisle (53 miles) and Manchester and Manchester Airport (67 miles). Skipton to the East (38 miles) and Windermere (15 miles) to the North West, via the A65 and the Kendal By-pass are also within relatively easy travelling distance, whilst the nearest station for the West Coast Railway line is at Oxenholme (5 miles).
The original house is built with solid stone walls under a slate roof and has been extended with a double storey extension with a cavity wall, the extension being faced in stone to match the original. The architect of the original house is reputed to have been Mr. Miles Thompson, trainee and eventually partner in the famous 18th and 19th Century Kendal firm of architects, Messrs. Webster & Co. Mr. Thompson joined the firm in 1825 as a draughtsman, became a partner in 1845 and continued to run the practice after George Webster’s death in 1864.
The property benefits from uPVC double glazed windows and external doors throughout (except the staircase window). There are panelled pine doors throughout, a fully automatic alarm system throughout the property, C.C.T.V. and a calor gas generator and the house and the outbuildings have all been re-roofed since the property was purchased by the present owners.
