Accommodation

As you approach Croft House you are struck by its presence in the square. You walk through the pretty front garden that is surrounded by a stone wall with railings, then along the lavender lined path to the front door with its original old lock. Your entry into the house leads into the stone flagged living/dining room with comfy seating around the original old Yorkshire range with its open fire, and oak dining table and chairs with antique dresser. The sitting room has the second open fire and stone flagged floor and is also at the front of the house, with views over the front garden. This room is full of character with its antique grandfather clock and corner cupboard, that has a variety of games, books and videos.

The very special handbuilt and designed kitchen has oak cupboards, granite worktops and is situated at the rear of the house off the living/dining room, and with views into the terraced backgarden and to the hills beyond. This is an extremely well equipped kitchen as you would expect form owners who are restauranteurs. Situated off the kitchen is the utility room and this leads into the garage with ample storage for outdoor gear, bikes etc, and this is where you will also find the log store for the open fires. Also downstairs is the shower room for the house, that is tucked away in a convenient corner.

From the kitchen there is a traditional stone staircase that leads to the landing and snug, where you can hide away for a quiet moment and enjoy the view to the fells beyond. The master bedroom is a real speciality, with its fabulous vaulted beamed ceiling, original fireplace and more antique furniture, including the splendid king size Chatelaine sleigh bed. There is a charming single bedroom that also has its original fireplace. The family suite is a dual aspect room with windows looking over both the front and rear of the cottage, and possesses a king size sleigh bed. There is also a galleried single bed, again tucked away in the eaves of the house, and a relaxation area with a double chaise longue, TV and video.

There is a family bathroom situated under the eaves, with a fabulous Victorian style roll top bath. All of the rooms on the First Floor have wooden floors, and there are rugs scattered throughout the cottage.

The terraced garden at the rear of the cottage is very private and is a walled garden, with a door into the fields behind the house so you have direct access to the footpaths in and around the village. The garden itself has flower beds, lawn, and both a patio and a decked area that is equipped with garden furniture and a gas barbeque. There are extensive and impressive views to the fells beyond.
