Tucked away in a quiet hamlet in Staveley-in-Cartmel, just east of Newby Bridge, The School House is paradoxically easily accessible and cheerfully covert, set in a tranquil woodland spot only ten-minutes from the popular watersports destination of Fell Foot.

Pull through the gates, where there is an abundance of parking on the driveway and within the double garage, and sense the serenity of this spot.

Admire the view from the window seat in the entrance hall, before turning left into the kitchen. Recently fitted white units provide plenty of storage space for all your pots, pans, plates and other culinary essentials. Overhead, contemporary spotlighting dapples the ceilings, interspersed by characterful beams evocative of the home's origins.

Follow the turn of the kitchen around to the rear, where there is space for a freestanding American style fridge freezer, alongside plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. Why not consider opening this area out to create a contemporary family kitchen.

A glazed door from the kitchen leads to a utility area, which also serves as a handy rear porch and provides access out to the washing line. Attractive stained-glass windows are reminiscent of the home's antiquity and heritage.

Returning to the entrance hall, turn off into the voluminous lounge, comfortably seating eight-to-ten guests on its selection of large sofas. Snuggle up, in the winter months, before the enormous brick inglenook fireplace, beside the toasty glow of the log burning stove and marvel at a home that is at once cosy in winter time and cool and airy in the summer. Beams overhead sit aside a traditional chandelier, cascading illumination down.

Soak up the views from the sumptuously sized garden room, where light flows in through the large Velux windows above and the wall of glazing ahead. Opening out from the lounge, note the easy flow of this home, where room leads onto room with ample space for the family to convene together.

Seating up to 12 comfortably, this garden room currently serves as a sociable dining room, with access out to the patio and garden through a set of French doors for breakfast al fresco in the summertime and evening barbecues.

Ideal for multigenerational living, flow through to the accessible downstairs bedroom, also tucked off the lounge. Carpeted, light-filled and spacious, with ample space for a double bed and wardrobes and within easy reach of the downstairs shower room, this room could also serve as a playroom or office should you not require a fifth bedroom.

Step up to the left, into the divine dressing area of the master bedroom, where chic, cream, built-in cabinetry proffers a wealth of storage space for all your outfits. Continue beneath the archway as the carpet flows through to coat the master suite in creamy grey. Gaze out over the country views from the windows to two sides.

Richly toned solid wood doors open into the enormous ensuite, tiled in sandy tones to walls and floor and with separate shower cubicle and bath, in addition to wash basin and WC.

From the master bedroom, step down and along the landing, through another archway to discover two further double bedrooms.

Step inside the first bedroom, currently hosting twin beds, carpeted in cream and with space for wardrobe and drawers. Next, a good-size double bedroom overlooks the garden through two large windows.

Providing refreshment to both bedrooms is a shower room across the way, fully tiled, featuring a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.

Up a staircase at the end of the landing, discover a hidden gem, emerging into a cosy bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and Velux windows capturing the treeline of the woods beyond.

Step outside into the serene and spacious garden at The School House. Backing onto fields populated by horses, the sense of tranquility is tangible.

South facing, the garden is a sun trap in every sense, with patio areas in which to sunbathe and dine and a large flat lawn perfect for children and pets to scamper about upon.

Follow the line of the wall to access the pretty woodland, perfect for campfires and toasting marshmallows with the children. Watch them play in the safety of your own acre of garden.

Discover the hidden places on the slopes; there is great scope to introduce outbuildings, sheds and greenhouses. Why not rear your own hens? There is plenty space to live 'the good life' here. With an abundance of wildlife visiting the garden (and the occasional alpaca in the neighbouring garden), there is always something new and special to see.
