A restored 19th-century coaching house with stunning views of Dufton Pike and the Pennine Fells is up for sale.
The four-bedroom property, located in the heart of the Eden Valley village of Dufton, is listed for £595,000.
The detached residence, which was originally the coach house for the adjacent Dufton House, a late Georgian residence, has been lovingly restored and extended over the years.
The home retains many of its original features, including ceiling beams, stone windows, and door surrounds.
The property boasts four reception rooms, a kitchen with an Aga, a large L-shaped conservatory, and a superb work/storeroom.
The conservatory, which was replaced 11 years ago, is a bright and airy space with an abundance of glass panels and a tiled floor.
It overlooks the private gardens and is perfect for eating, sitting, and relaxation.
The entrance hallway features a coach house-style door with UPVC frames and glass panels, leading to a wooden staircase with a wooden balustrade.
The hallway extends into the kitchen and two reception rooms, one of which is used as an office and the other as a dining room with a sandstone door surround.
The kitchen is described as a "perfect sociable space for a family", fitted with an oil-fired Aga with a beamed feature above, a tiled floor, and a beamed ceiling.
It also includes a range of white gloss wall and base units, a double composite sink with chrome mixer taps, and space for a tall freestanding fridge freezer.
The lounge is a light-filled space with double-glazed windows looking out to the front of the property, a multi-fuel stove sitting on a tiled hearth with a stone surround, and built-in bookshelves.
The first-floor landing, accessed via a carpeted staircase with a wooden handrail and balustrade, leads to four bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The master bedroom has two picture windows overlooking the Pennine Fells, while the second bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows to the front and side of the property.
The fourth bedroom, or first-floor lounge, is an incredibly light and bright room with a vaulted beamed ceiling and a double-glazed door with side panels opening out onto the balcony.
The balcony offers almost 180-degree views across the Pennine Fells with Dufton Pike directly in its eye line, as well as views across to Cross Fell, the village church, and down onto the walled garden.
Externally, the property has off-road parking for two vehicles and access to a good-sized garage.
The gardens, which surround the whole of the property, include terraces with raised beds, a low maintenance area, and an undercovered paved terrace.
The latter sits underneath the balcony and opens out into the rear field where there is a public footpath giving access to countryside walks.
The property is located in Dufton, a delightful village at the foot of the Pennines.
The village is centred around a wide, tree-lined green and provides a traditional pub and active community.
Walks along the Pennine Way and to the popular High Cup Nick are accessible from the village.
