Welcome to FERN COTTAGE Casterton, Yorkshire Dales National Park, LA6 2RX Right in the heart of the popular Lune Valley village of Casterton and within walking distance of the pub, shop/garage, church, village hall and school, Fern Cottage is a delightful cottage bursting with character, ceiling beams, oak spice cupboard, old pine internal joinery and many different window styles all add to the individual charm of this cottage. Thought to date back to the 1800s it was once an ale house, then a row of cottages, now arranged as one, the accommodation is spacious and surprisingly light with a sociable flow of rooms - all three reception rooms have wood burning stoves so creating a cosy and warm atmosphere. The kitchen, being mainly freestanding, has an Aga and a great cottage feel. There are three good-sized double bedrooms, a fourth single is currently used as a study but it would be also great as a nursery. The bathroom is huge, once a bedroom of course but this now allows for the luxury of a roll top freestanding bath and space for furniture which always allows a bathroom a personal and individual touch. The first floor hobbies room is approached via an external staircase (great if the hobby is messy!) but it could also potentially be incorporated into the cottage as another bedroom. There is a courtyard garden to the rear with room for a table and chairs - accessed off the kitchen this is perfect for an alfresco breakfast. To the front there is gravel parking for four cars (a rare thing indeed in a village) as well as a lawned garden, planted beds with greenhouse for your tomatoes and geraniums and two useful wooden sheds. Mains electricity, gas, drainage and water. Gas fired central heating with hot water from the Aga. B4RN hyperfast broadband connected. Carpets, curtains and blinds, curtains poles, light fittings and white goods are all included in the sale. The large chest of drawers in the kitchen is available by separate negotiation. Please note: the neighbouring property, Honeysuckle Barn, has a vehicular and pedestrian right of access across the driveway. There is also a pedestrian right of way across the courtyard to the rear. Also home to Sedbergh School's Preparatory School, the village itself has an attractive mix of houses and is a popular sought after area being so close to Kirkby Lonsdale which in turn offers a good range of local facilities along with St Mary's Primary and the well regarded Queen Elizabeth Schools. Kendal and Lancaster are both within driving distance. Access to the M6 motorway is either at junctions 34 or 36, depending on the direction of travel, with the nearest West Coast railway line stations at either Oxenholme (Kendal) or Lancaster. For those seeking outdoor pursuits, the splendour of the Lake District and the Howgills are at hand with the undulating Yorkshire Dales not far distant - perfect for climbing, walking or cycling right from your door. From Kirkby Lonsdale take the A683, enter the village, and after passing The Pheasant Inn on the left hand side, follow the road round to the right and the driveway is next on the right.
