AT CORONATION HALL, ULVERSTON 6.30PM

Hurstside is an idyllic looking traditional double fronted Lakeland farm house set

in enchanting scenery, which would suit a wide range of buyers looking for a

permanent or second home. This property offers both versatile and generously

proportioned accommodation with three/ four bedrooms, farm house kitchen,

four reception rooms and a large attic space which could be converted to make

further living accommodation if needed. The current owners have resided in the

property for over 50 years and have maintained the property to a good standard

including recently fitted UPVC double glazed windows. However, the property

is now in need of some modernisation to enhance the original features, yet at

the same time suit modern day family living. Situated in the beautiful Duddon

valley, which is a peaceful and unspoilt area in the southwest corner of the Lake

District National Park. Nestled between Coniston and Eskdale, the valley was a

favourite of the poet William Wordsworth, and has often been called a “hidden

gem”. It is set amongst the beautiful Furness and Dunnerdale fells and close to

the picturesque village of Broughton-In-Furness (appox. 5 miles) which has

previously been voted Village of the Year in 2002. The property is also close to

the market town of Ulverston. Situated only ¾ mile level walk to the post office

and the popular Newfield Inn, in Seathwaite is approx. 2 miles away. There are

good road links via the A595 and A590 trunk road connecting it to the M6,

Barrow-in-Furness and north to Scotland. The valley can be approached from

the heart of the Lake District National Park either from Coniston (approx. 14

miles) or Ambleside (approx. 20 miles).

On entering the property, the main front door leads into a traditional entrance hall;

both the living room and sitting room are accessed from either side of the hallway.

These rooms both benefit from open fire places and have stunning views over the

garden and countryside beyond. The rear hallway leads through to a scullery which

offers great storage and into a snug, with views out onto the garden. The well

proportioned breakfast kitchen which is light and airy offers a dual aspect room

with spectacular views. A discreet cloakroom positioned just off the kitchen is a

perfect addition for a family home. There is a spacious dining room off the snug

which is a very versatile room which has traditional high ceilings and exposed

beams. A substantial loft hatch accessed from this room offers the potential to

create further living space. Hurstside also benefits from a cellar with an original fully

flagged floor which also benefits from exposed beams and electric points; this is

accessed off the hallway. An open staircase out of the hall leads into two spacious

bedrooms, both of which have original cast iron fire places, although this is

concealed in bedroom two. A further bedroom at the front of the property leads

to an adjoining large bedroom with exposed floorboards and exposed beams; this

has the potential to be converted into a large, private master en-suite bedroom.

Across the landing sits a large, bright house bathroom which currently offers a

white three piece suite and views over the garden.

The property has a beautiful, yet manageable south facing garden with a lawned

area and a delightful array of wild flowers and native trees. The garden is

surrounded by unspoilt views and open countryside. Within the garden there are

various out buildings which provide excellent outdoor storage facilities; this would

be very useful for bikes, garden equipment and the like. Please note the recently re

roofed farm building is not part of the property and belongs to a local farmer.

storage and parking in front.
