Field Close is quietly nestled on the edge of a village in the Lake District National Park with delightful panoramic views across the rolling South Lakeland countryside towards the Cumbrian fells.

It has been continually upgraded and improved and is now a substantial home with versatile accommodation for a family.

This includes a two-storey self-contained apartment with its own private entrance and connecting doors on both ground and first floors, which can be simply integrated back into the main part of the house.

Field Close has original details such as slate-flagged floors, feature fireplaces, shuttered windows and exposed beams, complemented by modern fixtures and fittings.

The main house has a welcoming entrance hall with an elegant staircase and two lovely reception rooms - a sitting room filled with light from full-length side window on one side and two arched windows on another side and a large and characterful living room with exposed beams and an attractive oak floor.

The ground floor also has a study and breakfasting kitchen with Shaker-style cabinets, a French door to a patio and the gardens, and a utility.

Upstairs are three double bedrooms, the master with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom and the other sharing the four-piece family bathroom.

The apartment has a kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor with an internal staircase leading to a large multi-use room with en-suite shower room.

The house sits in a half-acre plot with beautiful gardens, a garage/workshop, outbuilding and ample off-road parking and is approached via a privately owned lane that forms part of the property.

Field Close occupies a delightful location on the Dales Way, surrounded on all sides by rolling countryside and woodland with superb views, and within walking distance of the village of Staveley and all its amenities.

These include shops, cafes, pubs, a primary school, theatre and a station on the Windermere branch line. In addition, the village is conveniently placed for Kendal, Windermere, Ambleside and J36 of the M6.
