An impressive detached Arts and Crafts residence, dating back to the early 1900s, offering exceptional potential to create a magnificent family home. Rich in character and period charm, this substantial property showcases many original features and occupies a generous plot of just under half an acre, with mature wraparound gardens in one of Ulverston's most sought-after residential locations. The property also presents exciting future potential, with comprehensive extension proposals having previously been prepared for the home, demonstrating the scope to further enhance and enlarge the accommodation, subject to any necessary consents (please speak with our office for further details).

The property also benefits from a detached garage and ample off-road parking. Internally, the spacious accommodation briefly comprises three elegant reception rooms, five well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, kitchen, utility room, and a stunning period entrance hall that creates a striking first impression and reflects the home's architectural heritage.

Vendor insight: “It’s rare to find a property like this come to market: since the house was built c. 1910, there have been no more than five owners, my family having occupied it since 1962.”

From a cultural point of view there always seems to be something going on here; the town hosts a full calendar of events throughout the year with festivals (Another Fine Fest (music and arts), Walk Fest, Lantern Festival, Retro Rendezvous, two dedicated music festivals, the Dickensian Festival and many celebrations as well; the summer fair, Ulverston and North Lonsdale country show and the St George’s Day Pageant to name but a few.

Surrounding Ulverston is the gently rolling farmland of the Furness Peninsula with coastal villages to explore (Bardsea, Baycliff, Aldingham and Newbiggin) all enjoying stunning views over impressive Morecambe Bay.

Vendor insight: “'It has been so convenient living here, as it's within walking distance of Ulverston town centre, the railway station and primary and secondary schools. Despite this, it is so quiet, with the large grounds surrounding the house creating a real feel of tranquillity in the garden - a proper oasis of calm, perfect for relaxing after a stressful day, or entertaining friends and family.”

Leading from the hallway are three generous reception rooms, offering exceptional flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles. Whether configured as formal living and dining rooms, a home office, family room, or additional sitting room, the accommodation provides ample space for modern family living.

To the rear of the property is the kitchen, alongside a useful boot room with direct access to the gardens. Featuring a substantial original stone shelf, this space would lend itself perfectly to use as a traditional pantry, ideal for keeping food naturally cool, while also serving as a practical entrance for muddy boots and outdoor clothing after exploring the surrounding countryside.

The ground floor further benefits from an abundance of built-in storage, including original cupboards and a spacious understairs cupboard, providing practical solutions for everyday family living.

A beautifully crafted staircase rises to the first floor, where a fabulous original feature window overlooks the front garden, flooding the landing with natural light and enhancing the home's sense of grandeur and elegance.

The first floor offers three generously proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying an abundance of natural light and retaining a wonderful sense of space and character. A family bathroom serves this level, presenting further scope for modernisation to suit individual tastes.
