Coulterthwaite, Leck, LA6 2HZ

Situated on a quiet country lane, within delightful landscaped gardens, Coulterthwaite is a handsome detached Victorian property surrounded by open countryside on all sides and glorious open views to the front and rear.

Sympathetically upgraded since the current owners' purchase in 2012, the accommodation is set over three floors with a gross internal measurement of c. 2444 sq ft (227.1 sq m). The property was extended and enhanced further with the addition of a fabulous, contemporary garden room with floor to ceiling sliding doors and picture windows to three sides, overlooking the garden and pond and taking advantage of the splendid open aspect.

Original Victorian character has been retained with tall ceilings, cornice, dado and picture rails, decorative mouldings, arch with corbels in the entrance hall, four panelled doors, deep skirtings and cast iron, wooden and marble fireplaces, one with decorative tiled slips. These blend charmingly with modern appointments and finishes.

Immaculately and stylishly presented, the rooms are light and spacious offering family friendly and incredibly sociable living spaces, perfect for 21st Century living.
