Take a moment to soak up the stunning views of the rolling countryside before making your way toward the patio area at the front of the home.

South-facing and with plenty of room for seating, enjoy a morning coffee in the garden before starting your day. In the cooler months, make your way into the porch where the views can still be enjoyed through the floor to ceiling panoramic windows.

A Warm Welcome
Step through the glazed door that leads into the hallway. With neutral décor and warm oak flooring underfoot, it's a welcoming arrival into the home.

A generous living room beckons to your left, where the theme of space and light continues. Dual-aspect windows perfectly frame the captivating scenes of the garden and the fells beyond, bathing the room in natural light throughout the day.

As the days get colder, the wood-burning stove, set on a slate hearth and topped with a rustic wooden lintel, is ready to provide warmth and a cosy atmosphere.

With plenty of space for seating, this is a flexible room equally suited to quiet evenings by the fire, or lively gatherings with family and friends.

Effortless Entertaining
Return to the hallway and take a right into the kitchen. Designed for both practicality and entertaining, the kitchen boasts contemporary white cabinetry, complemented by black worktops. With tiled splashback and large window looking out over the rolling countryside, create culinary masterpieces as you soak up those views.

Appliances include an electric oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, and wine cooler.

An open-plan layout flows seamlessly into the dining room, where sliding doors open out onto the garden. In summer, open them up to blur the boundaries between outside and in and expand the space. Invite family and friends over to enjoy meals where the backdrop of the fells provides a captivating setting, and create memories where there is room enough for all.

From the dining area, take the door that leads to a rear hall with another access point to the home. Continue to discover a shower room, complete with a WC, washbasin, and shower. Next door, the converted garage currently serves as a useful storage room ready to keep all household items safely organised.

Retrace your steps back to the dining room, which flows back into the main hall and ascend the half turn staircase to the upper floor.

Sweet Dreams
Turn left into the family bathroom featuring a bath with an overhead shower, a pedestal washbasin, heated towel rail and WC, all complemented by underfloor heating for added comfort. A built-in storage cupboard ensures everything has its place, making this space both practical and luxurious.

Next door, make your way into the principal suite. Spacious and bright with neutral décor, the dual aspect windows ensure that every morning you'll wake to peaceful rural views of the rolling countryside.

Discover a single bedroom, perfect for younger family members or visiting guests with space for storage and views over the garden.
Continue along the gallery landing, soaking up the views as you pass the large window on your left, where two further bedrooms await.

Both cosily carpeted, with space for storage and looking out over the open countryside, they're the perfect place to rest and relax.

Gardens and Grounds
With wraparound gardens and open countryside at every turn, the outside spaces to Ebenezer offer something for every mood and occasion.

A paved seating area invites you to dine alfresco or simply relax with a glass of your favourite tipple while soaking up the tranquillity of the countryside and the sunshine. Trees and shrubs frame the lawns, creating a beautiful space to enjoy year-round and with views over Ulverston and Dalton at the front of the home, the scenes are ever-changing and always picturesque.

Store logs for the fire and keep gardening equipment safe and secure in the wooden shed. Additional storage can be found in the converted garage.

With driveway parking for 2-3 cars, everyone is welcome and there is plenty of space for visiting friends and family.

Whether you're hosting a summer barbecue or enjoying the peace of a quiet afternoon, the outdoor spaces at Ebenezer are always ready to accommodate any event.
