Bluebell House

Bluebell House is a unique, newly built luxury home in a secluded yet accessible location within the Lake District National Park. Finished with a mix of crisp white render and Westmorland Slate to the exterior this stunning family home sits nestles in the Cumbrian countryside. The internal accommodation has been designed with family living in mind; flexible open plan spaces that also retain a sense of separation – ideal for daily family life or entertaining a full house. Full height glazing is a feature throughout which allows the house to be flooded with natural light at all times of day.

The extensive open plan living accommodation on the ground floor all benefits from underfloor heating with slate effect ceramic tiles. The entrance hallway leads to the living room and on to a large, light and airy open plan living/dining/kitchen with bi-fold doors to the garden and feature central woodburning stove. The kitchen has been fitted with modern black SieMatic kitchen fitted cabinets with integrated neff appliances including a double oven, microwave, induction hob with integrated extractor fan, fridge freezer and twin wine coolers. A cosy and intimate more formal dining space is located adjacent to the kitchen. To the rear is a useful utility and bootroom with door to outside. A useful office/bedroom 5 providing a work from home haven and downstairs WC, complete the ground floor accommodation.

An oak and glass stairway leads to the first floor which boasts two equally stunning double bedrooms both with en-suites, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom as well as extensive storage on the landing. The large windows and elevated position of the bedrooms affords them a stunning outlook.

Greaves
