With parking available for two cars, make your way to the front door of this imposing, traditional grey-stone Lakeland home, built in 1866 by schoolmaster Tommy Watson, buried in nearby Brathay Church.

Take the steps, flanked by wrought-iron rails, up, past the pretty seating area, before opening the sage green door through to the entrance porch.

Glass surrounds on all sides, drawing in daylight and views and delivering them through into the entrance hall beyond. High ceilings reach up, exemplifying the character and heritage of Gilbertscar Foot, with inset spotlighting and modern wooden flooring providing a contemporary finish. Café latte tones adorn the walls, interspersed by the original chair rail.

Turning left, step onto the buff carpet of the open plan living-dining-kitchen, extending from front to rear for free-flow of light.

The neutral palate from the entrance hall continues its motif, creating a sense of calm. To the front, light streams in through the bay window, framing views out over the River Rothay; an electric fireplace adds warmth in wintertime. Wooden flooring replaces carpet, stepping through into the dining area, where views to the leafy rear are framed through a tall sash window. Opening up to the right is the modern kitchen, fitted with an electric hob, oven and stainless-steel sink, with additional space for a freestanding dishwasher and fridge-freezer. Wood effect countertops and over and under cabinets provide storage for all your culinary essentials.

Returning to the entrance hall, discover the utility room directly ahead, with plumbing for a washer and dryer and additional storage space. There is access here, both out to the rear and down to a small cellar.

Ascend the stairs, turning right part way to spy a drying room replete with the boiler and hot water tank.

Emerge onto a bright landing, where views of the fields and fells are framed through a large window on the left. The first of four bedrooms awaits to the right.

Dressed in creamy tones to the walls, and carpeted underfoot, this dreamy room currently houses twin beds, indicative of its spaciousness and proportions. A large window draws in light. Freshen up in the ensuite, served by a bath with shower attachment, wash basin and WC and tiled in contemporary fashion in shades of white and grey.

Returning to the landing, discover the blue bedroom, another spacious double with space for bedside tables and a wardrobe. Overlooking the river, let its rhythmic flow soothe you to sleep. Refreshingly decorated in sea blue tones, the ensuite features a wash basin, WC and shower.

Take the stairs to the next level, arriving at a modest landing, where light flows in through a window overlooking the leafy surrounds. Turning right into a grey, carpeted bedroom, note the quirky angles of the ceiling and elevated views out. Open the door to the blue and white tiled ensuite containing shower, wash basin and WC. Consider this the third bedroom - or, potentially - as dressing room for a master bedroom suite.

Cross over into the master bedroom, whose vaulted ceiling and exposed whitewashed brickwork create a characterful and captivating feature, dressed in exposed beams.

Light flows in through the skylight above and window to the front overlooking the River Rothay. An ensuite, containing bath with overhead shower, wash basin and WC also serves this bedroom. Spy the original staircase that once connected Gilbertscar Foot with Riverside, next door.
