Here is a rare opportunity to buy a large family home with lots of space and large gardens in a Lake District National Park village close to excellent amenities, including a nursery and primary school.

Santon Lodge is a beautifully presented property occupying an idyllic position between the villages of Gosforth and Santon Bridge and providing spacious living accommodation.

With an open-plan dining kitchen, three bedrooms and a stunning four-piece bathroom, this is a fantastic home for a family which is surrounded by woodland.

Both children and adults are sure to love the extensive manicured gardens which have a tree house and swing, pond with wildlife, vegetable patch, greenhouse, poly tunnel, storage sheds and wood stores.

The house has an entranced porch opening into the hall which has a useful store cupboard, the staircase and doors to the main reception rooms.

The dining kitchen has two glazed doors and a good array of wall and floor cabinets in white-coloured wood with complementary work tops, wine rack and integrated dishwasher and fridge.

The electric oven with gas hob and extractor is set in a feature recess with shelf above and the floor is tiled.

There are windows to three sides and a door to the utility room which has additional units, plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer and freezer and spotlights. Tiling covers the floor here too and there is an understairs storage cupboard.

The lounge, like the dining kitchen, is a good size at 18ft by almost 12ft and is a comfortable and welcoming room with a wooden fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove, a window overlooking the rear of the house and French doors to the front garden.

A study at the back of the property and cloakroom complete the ground-floor layout.

Upstairs the landing has a window overlooking the back garden and loft access. The main bedroom has a front aspect and built-in wardrobes, the second bedroom is also at the front of the house while the third is at the back.

They all share the lovely four-piece bathroom which has a larger than average shower cubicle, heated towel rail, tiled flooring and an airing cupboard plus windows to the side and rear.

Outside is a beautifully maintained and private front garden laid to lawn and surrounded by mature shrubs and bushes with a patio seating area, pond with an array of wildlife, driveway and parking area.

At the back of Santon lodge is another lawned garden, this one with a vegetable patch, greenhouse and poly tunnel, a storage shed and log stores and a treehouse and swing.
