OVERVIEW
Truly delightful in every way! 4 School Houses is a quaint two bedroom property which is more than meets the eye. Sympathetically updated, character features have been retained where possible with stone work and beams exposed, a country cottage kitchen extension at the rear and a period style shower room. The windows are double glazed and the property is centrally heated.
Externally the property comes into its own. Accessed via a rear walk way is a divorced garden. Enclosed, the garden has a secret feel and is beautifully laid out with patio seating areas, well maintained lawn and borders, a shed and summer house. The views from the garden are fantastic across fields towards the parish church. To top it all is a garden room studio with cosy woodburner, secure lockable store and wood stores.
The property is suitable for a range of buyers and is well positioned for travel via the M6 or to Kendal or Milnthorpe and must be viewed to be appreciated.
