OVERVIEW
Located to the end of a country lane in a small pretty hamlet, Speight House is a wonderful family home with space for multiple generations and perfect for buyers who enjoy the outdoor life and want to take advantage of the five acre paddock/field. Owned by the same family for nearly 60 years, the accommodation has been extended and adapted over time from the original period house and is now a substantial spacious property ideal for modern living. The main house has a generous lounge, family dining kitchen and three double bedrooms. An annexe to the side extends the ground floor layout with a further two double bedrooms, a sitting room and sun room. There are landscaped gardens to the front and sides with access to the five acre paddock and woodland to the rear. Completing the picture is a double garage, workshop and outhouse. The property is available with no onward chain and viewing is a must. The location is perfect for access to the M6 motorway and Oxenholme Mainline Station - both within 10 minutes drive as is Westmorland General Hospital and supermarkets.
