Halsteads, Low Biggins, LA6 2DH

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love Halsteads:

1. Location matters - in a small hamlet setting and yet only a short walk to the ever-popular Lune Valley town of Kirkby Lonsdale.

2. The splendid, far reaching views with a north/north easterly outlook across Kirkby Lonsdale towards the Barbon and Leck Fells from the principal rooms and gardens.

3. Single storey living - the property was extended and reconfigured by the current owners a number of years ago and offers spacious accommodation with a versatile layout and a gross internal area of c. 1393 sq ft (129.4 sq m).

4. Come on in through the open fronted porch and into to the hall, which is open to the utility/laundry room with store cupboard. With an attractive arch window, the modern kitchen is fitted with base and wall units, marble worktops, pantry cupboard, electric oven, five ring gas hob and space for an undercounter dishwasher and refrigerator. An inner hall with built-in cupboard and a loft hatch providing access to a boarded storage space. The dining hall has a splendid parquet floor, wood fireplace with stone flag hearth and open fire, plate rack and double open glazed doors with picture windows either side, all with arched leaded and stained toplights. The parquet floor continues into the triple aspect sitting room; here there is a bay window and a woodburning stove set on a flag hearth.

5. Sleep tight with three double bedrooms. Enjoying the views, dual aspect bedroom 1 has a cast iron period fireplace. Bedroom 2 is also dual aspect with a lovely outlook and bedroom 3 has a fitted desk and shelving.

6. Bath/shower rooms - there is a four piece house bathroom, an en suite three piece shower room and a two piece cloakroom, off the laundry room.

7. Detached workshop/garden store with power and light. This could equally be upgraded to a home office/hobby space or ancillary accommodation (subject to consent).

8. Generous terraced gardens - set in a plot c. 0.39 acres (0.16 hectares), there are flagged seating terraces and paths, a wooden deck, lawns, planted borders, mature trees and shrubs, fruit trees, pond, vegetable plot, timber shed and greenhouses.

9. Private parking - a block paved parking area provides ample parking for a number of vehicles.

10. Fresh air and fun, whichever direction you take and whatever your pleasure - it's a great base for exploring the nearby National Parks and National Landscapes.
