Here is a four-bedroom detached house, in a stunning location in High Lorton, with grounds and gardens of approximately 0.4 acres. The property has huge potential and is sold with no upward chain.

Occupying a great position, just outside the popular village of Lorton, it is approached via a quiet no-through country lane, which serves just a handful of properties and is surrounded by open countryside with views across the Lorton Vale and Lakeland fells.

The accommodation benefits from oil-fired central heating and mostly uPVC double glazing, and offers considerable potential for some modernisation or extension subject to the necessary consents.

The gardens and grounds extend to all four sides of the house and the property is set among open fields, the only neighbouring property being the original High Mill on the other side of the lane.

Accessing via the entrance porch, an inner door leads into the reception hall, with spacious central hall, toilet and stairs up to the first floor.

With a fireplace recess and multi-fuel stove on a tiled hearth, the lounge includes small architectural feature openings/windows and a window looking into the conservatory. There are wall display recesses and an internal door to the conservatory/garden room, which has a door out to the front garden and access up to the loft.

A separate dining room has a wall recess with fitted display shelf and cupboard and drawer beneath. There is a servery hatch to the kitchen and a range of fitted oak units with cupboard and drawers, glass-fronted display cabinets and shelves, integrated electric hob with cooker hood above and oven below, plumbing for a washing machine, boiler and door to the rear/side garden.

The first-floor landing gives access to the loft and there are exposed low timber beams to the bedroom doorways.

Bedroom one is a double with architectural feature opening/window and en-suite shower room with tiled cubicle, washbasin with cupboard and built-in airing cupboard.

Bedroom two is a single or study and has a window looking out to the front.

A third bedroom includes a range of built-in wardrobes and also has an architectural feature small opening/window and sash window looking out to the front.

Outside the gardens and grounds extend to all four sides of the property, and have lawns, trees, shrubs, two orchards, small enclosed cottage garden and off-road parking for three vehicles.

The property benefits from a mains water supply and electricity, there is a private drainage system to a septic tank in the rear garden/orchard and an oil-fired boiler which provides water heating and central heating.
