Badgers Sett, Cow Brow, Lupton, Carnforth, LA6 1PQ - Matthews Benjamin

Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Lupton, Badgers Sett is a stylishly refurbished and extended detached chalet bungalow offering a rare blend of rural charm, creative interiors and modern practicality.

Enjoying far-reaching views towards the impressive Farleton Knott, Badgers Sett has the benefit of neighbours but isn’t overlooked and is immediately accessible to open countryside. Scenic walks are right from the doorstep and a popular local pub, The Plough, is within walking distance. The market towns of Kirkby Lonsdale and Kendal, plus the city of Lancaster, are easily accessible for amenities. The Lake District and Yorkshire Dales are convenient for day trips, with excellent transport links via the M6 (J36, under a mile away) and Oxenholme Station (6 miles).

Built in 1972, the property has been extended and modernised to create a warm, light-filled home. At its heart is a well-connected living space featuring a striking triple-aspect orangery, linking to the kitchen and sitting room - ideal for everyday living and entertaining. A utility room and integral garage add practical convenience.

Combining rural peace with stylish living and excellent accessibility, Badgers Sett is a thoughtfully designed, future-proofed home, suited to families, downsizers, or those seeking a quieter lifestyle with everything close by.

We’ve really enjoyed inviting friends and family round. The orangery and how it connects with the kitchen and sitting room has been a game changer as to how we live and enjoy the rooms individually and the space as a whole. When it’s warmer, we can open the orangery up to the garden and flow out onto the deck. We put lights around the roof lantern which look lovely as they reflect in the glass. On winter evenings and weekends, we love to light the fire; the open fire drawing everyone in.

We appreciate the location; it’s rural but not isolated. The proximity of the motorway has been a major advantage for us as we both commute for work. We’ve found it to be a very peaceful place to live. We have neighbours but are not overlooked. It’s a great location if you enjoy walking without getting in the car.

Built in 1972, the property has undergone a comprehensive transformation since 2014 under the guiding hands of the current owners. The result is a warm, welcoming home with stylish finishes and an interconnected living space at its heart which has been thoughtfully created for both everyday family life and flexible entertaining.

The kitchen is attractively fitted and has a multi-functional Esse range (cooking and hot water), Villeroy & Boch double Belfast sink and wood block worktops. The engineered oak kitchen floor continues through to the partially open plan and very inviting sitting room, where an open fire provides a cosy focal point. Both the kitchen and sitting room both then flow effortlessly into a stunning triple-aspect orangery. With aluminium framed glazing (for minimal upkeep) and a large roof lantern, this light-filled room has super views of the garden and Farleton Knott, it truly brings the outside in and through bi-folding doors connects seamlessly to the deck which spans Sarah Beck and the well-stocked gardens.

The ground floor also offers flexibility for single-level living or as a future proofing option, with a generous double bedroom enjoying views over the garden to the adjacent field - lovely for lazy mornings watching the sheep graze in the field opposite. The room features a wall of stylish, freestanding wardrobes and a characterful ensuite bathroom, complete with oak-surround bath with shower over, vanity unit and WC. A separate ground floor shower room adds further convenience, fitted with contemporary sanitaryware including a floating wash basin and large rainfall shower. Clever use of space continues under the centrally positioned stairs, where a tucked-away study area offers an ideal work-from-home nook.

Painted wooden stairs rise to the first floor where the long landing includes under eaves cupboards and a loft room for readily accessible storage as well as a handy cloakroom having wash basin and WC.

Two further double bedrooms provide peaceful retreats. One enjoys open views towards Farleton Knott, while the other boasts French doors opening onto a newly constructed roof terrace (completed in 2025 and finished with composite decking for ease of maintenance), with lovely leafy views in three directions and sunlight almost all day this has made an idyllic spot for morning coffee with the papers or chilled evening sundowners with friends.

Badgers Sett combines rural peace with stylish, practical living – an exceptional opportunity in a highly accessible hamlet location.
