Set just outside Kirkby Lonsdale in approximately 2.5 acres of beautiful grounds, its position strikes a balance that is increasingly hard to find. There is a sense of rural calm, yet everyday life remains effortlessly connected.

The approach hints at what lies beyond. A home that has been held and enjoyed for over 50 years carries a quiet confidence. It speaks of continuity, of family life, and of a place that has truly been lived in. The main house offers generous family living, while a self-contained annexe provides excellent accommodation for guests or potential holiday letting. Additional buildings include a dedicated indoor swimming pool complex, a large garage with games room above, and extensive outdoor areas that invite a wide range of uses. The setting balances privacy, space and accessibility in a way that is increasingly rare so close to Kirkby Lonsdale.

Inside, the entrance hall immediately sets the tone. Flagstone floors and original exposed beams anchor the space in its history, while the addition of a log burner introduces a natural focal point. This is not simply a point of arrival but a room in its own right, a place to pause, to gather, and to feel at home from the very first moment.

Beyond, the dining room offers scale and presence. Exposed stonework frames another feature log burner, and shuttered windows soften the light. It is a room designed for long evenings and shared meals, equally suited to quiet family suppers or larger gatherings.

The heart of the home is found in its series of interconnected living spaces. Each room has its own identity, yet there is a natural flow that makes the house feel both spacious and cohesive. A more intimate snug or study area sits just beyond the main living spaces, with views and access to the garden. It is a space that adapts easily, whether for work, reading, or simply a quieter corner of the house.

The kitchen is generous in scale and practical in its layout, offering a bright and spacious environment for daily life. Its generous proportions ensure there is room not only for cooking but also for informal dining and conversation.

One of the most compelling aspects of Tearnside Cottage is its self-contained annexe. Thoughtfully arranged, it offers a complete living environment with its own sitting room, kitchen, bedrooms, and a Jack and Jill shower room.

This space offers a range of other possibilities. For visiting family, it provides independence without separation. For those considering income potential, it presents a holiday let opportunity. For multi-generational living, it offers flexibility that feels both natural and unobtrusive.

Upstairs, the main house continues to offer well-balanced living space. Bedrooms are generous, each with built-in storage, and positioned to make the most of the surrounding outlook.

The principal bedroom is particularly inviting, complete with an en-suite that has been designed for comfort. Twin basins, a well-proportioned bath, and a sense of space combine to create a calm and private retreat. It is a room that feels quietly removed from the rhythm of the rest of the house.

The grounds extend to approximately 2.5 acres, wrapping around the house and offering a variety of outdoor spaces. A lawn surrounds the immediate setting, while a stream runs gently through the rear of the garden, adding movement and a natural soundtrack to daily life.

Beyond, an adjoining field opens up further opportunity. Whether for planting, keeping animals, or simply enjoying the sense of space, it is a valuable extension of the home's footprint.

A vegetable garden, greenhouse, and a wooden cabin with decking create areas to explore and enjoy. There is also a small pond, adding to the layered feel of the grounds. Each element contributes to a setting that feels both established and full of potential.

Tearnside Cottage is a home that has been designed not only for living but for enjoyment. A separate building houses an indoor swimming pool, complete with its own facilities including a shower, toilet, and utility space.

A large double garage with space above, along with a substantial carport accessed via an electric gate, ensures that practical needs are equally well considered. Parking is plentiful, both within the grounds and beyond.

Modern additions such as photovoltaic panels with battery storage, oil and biomass heating, and a private water supply reflect a home that has been adapted for contemporary living while retaining its historic character.
