A LIGHT, bright and welcoming family home with cottage-style gardens is for sale in Milnthorpe.

Elbe House was previously a finishing school for girls, and the spacious rooms offer a perfect opportunity for modernisation.

An entrance vestibule and hallway lead into the living room and the traditional kitchen, with a range of units, gas hob, sink and electric cooker point.

Behind the kitchen is a practical room that would be perfect either as a garden room or utility room with downstairs loo.

The dining room has a traditional, formal feel but would work well as a contemporary family room off the kitchen.

The sitting room is a grand, light and bright room with three large windows across the front, traditional alcoves and a fireplace with gas fire.

All four bedrooms are on the first floor and are generously sized doubles with crisp decor.

The three rooms at the front take advantage of the view over the front garden to an open field beyond. The fourth bedroom has a handy built-in cupboard.

Also on the first floor is the good-sized family bathroom complete with twin basins, bath, bidet, toilet and shower cubicle, fitted cupboard and complementary tiling surrounds.

There is an excellent airing cupboard and another deep storage cupboard on the landing.

At the front of Elbe House is a generously sized gravelled, gated driveway that leads to the country cottage-style garden via a gate. Beyond is a very well-screened garden with a delightful lawn, herbaceous borders and a most impressive tulip tree. The rear courtyard garden, meanwhile, is described as "the most perfect sun trap". Completing the picture is a double detached garage with workshop.
