Perfectly placed only 5 minutes from Kendal and 15 minutes from Windermere, Ladyford Farmhouse, dating back to 1867, has a history intrinsically entwined with the local area. Formally a working farm it sits beside what was once the longest barn in Westmorland, now one of the handful of neighbouring homes forming this private, peaceful and hidden hamlet.

Follow the private lane up to the top, bear right at Charlie's Barn (mind the chickens ducks) and bear right to 'Ladyford'. Arriving outside the garage, larger than a conventional double garage, this impressive addition to the home, built with cavity wall insulation, plumbing, lighting, electricity and internet currently serves as both a workshop and home office, with a mezzanine level. With its own WC, why not consider the potential to elevate this building to the next level and convert it to self-contained living accommodation?

A home where the outdoors and inside are linked by numerous entrances and seating areas, make your way in via the entrance hall, where the slate grey Camaro flooring extends underfoot, warmed by underfloor heating, permeating both levels of the home.

Stash your coat and shoes in the handy streamlined cupboards to the right and make your way into the lobby. Engineered oak adds homely warmth in here.

Drawing light through, a glazed oak door opens into the sitting room: the winter hub of the home. Crisp décor to the walls ensures a light, bright feel, whilst the roar of the multifuel stove is a comforting draw in the winter months. Snuggle up on the sofa to watch television, as dinner is prepared in the open-plan kitchen diner to the right.

Opening up from the sitting room, the contemporary family kitchen diner captures great sight lines along its central island with half-moon breakfast bar. Perch on a stool with a glass of wine with a friend, breaking off to prepare dinner on the smooth Silestone worktops. An impressive LPG gas Britannia Rangemaster is on hand to help feed the family, equipped with gas hob, chef's plate and twin electric ovens. Fitted only five years ago, there is an abundance of storage space within the cabinetry, containing pantry cupboard and pan drawers within the island. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge freezer.

Velux lights draw the sky down through the vaulted ceiling, adorned with feature pendant lighting for a bright, inviting culinary hub of the home. Drift from the dining table out through the double doors to the west facing patio for barbecues and alfresco feasts in the summertime.

Returning through the sitting room, slip through to the sun room, a highlight of the home - and your summer base. High ceilings slope to one side, drawing the outdoors in through Velux lights and windows. Open both sets of doors to let a refreshing summer breeze bring the scent of summertime through. Cosy too in wintertime, individual thermostatic controls to every room allow you to program the perfect ambience.

Continue back through the sitting room, sneaking a peek at the downstairs WC and utility room with plumbing for washer and dryer. Step up to discover the games room, carpeted and comfortable, an entertaining haven with ample room for a pool table. Consider its versatile nature and the scope to transform it into an additional bedroom or gym.

Opposite, discover your dream office, a cosy snug featuring built-in bookshelves and with an electric stove. With a working chimney and flue in place, you could install a wood-burning stove for even more inspirational ambience.

Take the carpeted curving stairs up, turning left to arrive at the second bedroom. Spacious and serene, pause a moment in the window seat to appreciate the views over the patio and fields, framed by tall sash windows. With plenty of room for a double bed and furniture, step through onto the Amtico floor of the ensuite, featuring a large shower, wash basin and WC.

Turn left out of the bedroom, freshen up in the family bathroom, recently installed and fitted with a bath with over head shower, wash basin and WC. Spacious and bright, this bathroom is pristine.

Sash windows frame views to the countryside from bedroom three next door, where a dressing area is tucked away to the left, and an ensuite, has Camaro flooring, with shower, wash basin and WC, is accessed through a quirky angled door.

Outside this bedroom glance up at the loft access, leading to a spacious part boarded loft, ideal for storage.

Whimsically accessed down a number of steps, this twin bedroom is sure to appeal to youngsters, with it's sloping ceilings and den like vibes.

Next door, the master bedroom swims in light through two enormous sash windows framing views out over the paddock and on to the fells.

Adjacent to the farmhouse, a large paddock is perfect for horses, with ample space on the side of the garage to build a stable block. With no right of way through the field you are totally private.

On the substantial, south facing patio, lie back and soak up the sun in peace and quiet, your only visitors are ones from the surrounding fields - keep your eyes peeled for rabbits, squirrels, an abundance of birds and even the odd badger.
