Close to the peaceful village of Satterthwaite stands a home of character and heritage, whose foundations are steeped in the success of England's cotton trade industry.

Nestled off the road that runs between Greenodd and Hawkshead, or along the backroads from Newby Bridge, discover the architecturally unique and Grade II listed Old Bobbin Mill, a mile from Satterthwaite village and two miles beyond Oxen Park.

Ample parking is available on the gravelled courtyard, the extent of which is owned by the occupants of the Bobbin Mill. A handful of cottages and homes provide a neighbourly presence. In the large garage and log store, glance up for your first insight into the rich history of this home, as ancient mechanisms intersect the stone wall beneath the high roof rafters.

Arriving at the quirky, oblong shaped house, its demure façade belies the spacious home within. Step inside through the front door into a spacious, high-ceilinged porch with exposed beams.

Open the traditional latched door into the expansive sitting room, where light abounds through a total of eight windows, distributed equally to either side. Cream decorative tones feature in the carpet underfoot and to the walls.

Ahead lies the spacious dining-kitchen, offering contemporary open-plan living wrapped up in the ancient stones and timber of this historic home. Once more, the exposed timber beam ceiling plays a feature role, above the cream cabinetry of the kitchen, topped in hardwood worktops. Fitted appliances include an electric oven and dishwasher. Tiles underfoot are pale grey in tone, with a handy storage cupboard discovered behind a racing green wooden door. Warmth emanates from the wood burning stove. There is space for a fridge freezer, whilst a washer, dryer and additional freezer are located in the utility room downstairs.

Turning left from the kitchen, refreshment awaits in the light, bright bathroom, fitted with bath, wash basin, heated radiator and WC. Storage is in plentiful supply throughout The Old Bobbin Mill; open the louvred cupboard to find storage above the water tank. A cloaks closet is also located along the hallway, on route to the bedrooms.

Next door, on the left, discover a spacious master bedroom furnished with a wall of wooden fitted wardrobes. Carpeted and comfortable, light flows in through two windows, both overlooking the garden and trees. Across from the double bed, another array of fitted furniture also contains a handy wash basin.

Opposite the master bedroom is a snug lounge-office, ideal for reading a book, or simply relaxing and enjoying garden views. Whether this room serves as a snug, a study or an extra bedroom, its views out over the garden make it a most pleasant room to retreat to.

Returning to the hallway off the kitchen, take the wooden staircase down to a lower level. Perks and quirks await; sneak a peek through into a storage cupboard and be greeted with grotto sounds of falling water - enchanting echoes of the past.

On this lower level a handy WC and wash basin is located close to bedroom two, a comfortably sized, carpeted bedroom with fantastic views on two sides out to woodland and the flowing river, which once supplied the water to run the mill.

Coming out of this bedroom and turning left, arrive at a third double bedroom embellished with exposed beams, where an abundance of windows provides pleasant views out over the garden and river.

Returning to the hallway, discover a latched door opposite the staircase, which opens to reveal a second, stone, staircase, winding down to the large utility room. With plumbing for the washer and dryer and ample space for a freezer, a door also opens to reveal another room with exposed stone walls, housing the boiler and additional storage space - illuminated by a high window.

Also within the utility room is a door which leads into the neighbouring Bobbin Mill Cottage. Currently used as holiday accommodation, the entire home can be easily re-linked through this entrance.

The Bobbin Mill Cottage
With its own private patio and independent access, open the glazed front door beneath the gable portico and make your way into The Bobbin Mill cottage, emerging into a light, bright and cosy sitting-dining room.

An electric stove, set upon a stone hearth and beneath a characterful gnarly beam, creates a cosy space in which to settle down for the evening, with impressive countryside views framed through the large front window. There is plenty of space for a dining table.

Nestled off the sitting-dining room is a small kitchen, also accessible from the utility room in the main home. Furnished with ample cabinets, there is also a cooker, sink, dishwasher and fridge-freezer.

Tucked off the dining area of the main living space discover a deep storage cupboard and also a door leading to the bathroom, featuring a WC, wash basin and bath with overhead shower.

Two bedrooms - a twin with a true cottage feel and high window, and a light, bright double overlooking the front patio - provide the sleeping quarters in this cosy cottage.

Outside, in addition to a private patio with pretty planting around, the cottage has access to a bike shed with storage for bikes and canoes. Explore the main garden at The Old Bobbin Mill, where large swathes of lawn meet established rockery beds brimming with colour and mature planting.

Sunny and south facing, the beck's ever-present flow provides a soothing soundtrack to days spent relaxing in the sunshine and shade. Peaceful and serene, the garden has a natural feel, flowing down to meet the beck which runs by, cascading beneath a wooden bridge that serves as part of a public footpath to the rear of the home.

Fancy a wild water 'swim'? Stone steps lead down to the beck, deep enough to take a dip. A workshop can also be found beneath the mill - handy for storage or as a space to work.

For a unique home, with history, space and light, The Old Bobbin Mill is an embracingly warm home in an idyllic location.
