Dow Crag House is a lovely period detached property located

next to the picturesque church of St Johns, close to Broughton

Beck village, surrounded by rolling countryside and with views

extending to the Lake District National Park, Coniston Old Man,

Dow Crag and Morecambe Bay. Originally built in approximately

1870, the property was intended for the headmaster of the local

school. It has now been in the same ownership for over 16 years

and has been a well loved home. The accommodation is perfect

for family life with a total of three reception rooms, a breakfast

kitchen with separate utility room, three double bedrooms, two

family bathrooms and a versatile second fl oor loft room that could

either be utilised as a fourth bedroom, home offi ce or playroom.

The large windows throughout and high ceilings make it a very

light home. The surrounding gardens are an attraction for the local

wildlife and include a manicured lawn complete with an apple and

pear tree, green house and wooden arbour laced with grape vines

and climbing roses. Practically, there are two private drives with

ample parking and a detached double garage, as well as two garden

stores.


Broughton Beck is a peaceful hamlet that is surrounded by lush

countryside with a selection of stunning walks to be enjoyed right

from your doorstep. However, this peaceful location does not

compromise on convenience as the market town of Ulverston is

located just two and a half miles away. The birth place of Stan Laurel

of Laurel and Hardy, Ulverston is a vibrant community set around

cobbled streets and beautiful old buildings. There is a thriving high

street of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, along with

a full range of local amenities that includes doctors, dentists and a

choice of supermarkets. The local primary and secondary schools

in Ulverston are also well regarded and discerning purchasers will

also benefit from being just a short drive from the Lake District.

Flagged stone steps lead up to the entrance of this period family

home, with a large curved entrance door opening into a useful

entrance porch. This is a great and practical space for coats and

shoes, with original tiled floors.

An internal original door opens into the entrance hall where there

is an under stairs storage cupboard. The cosy living room enjoys

views over the garden and fields beyond, offering a perfect position

from which to watch the spring lambs and views extending out to

Morecambe Bay. The multi fuel stove set within a local Tilberthwaite

slate surround provides warmth in the winter months and the oak

beam lintel makes for a characterful feature. The dining room

provides space for a formal dining setting and is filled with natural

light thanks to a dual aspect over the front and into the conservatory.

Double doors lead into the conservatory, perfect for opening up

for entertaining and offering lush garden views, with French doors

leading on to the front.


The family kitchen was updated by the present owners by Atlantis

Kitchens and includes a range of modern yet traditional units and

a breakfast bar perfect for a more informal dining setting. Appliances

include a Bosch double oven with integrated extractor, an electric

hob, an integrated dishwasher, and integrated fridge. Immediately

adjoining is a boot room with external access to the rear of the

house. This is a great space for muddy boots after enjoying one of

the many walks across the local countryside. This then leads into a

large utility room with space for a fridge, freezer, washing machine

and dryer amongst a further selection of units. The ground floor

of this versatile home also benefits from a family bathroom to

include a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.


The stairs lead up from the entrance hall to the fi rst fl oor. There

are a total of three well proportioned double bedrooms, each

offering unique, uninterrupted views across the fi elds. The master

bedroom and bedroom two offer views of Morecambe Bay. Both

have fi tted wardrobes and the master bedroom has a dresser. Even

the large family bathroom boasts stunning views to Coniston Old

Man and Dow Crag. The fi ve piece heritage suite includes a large

family sized bath and a double shower. The staircase continues up

to the second fl oor loft conversion that would have originally been

planned for the servants of the house. At present this versatile

space is being utilised as a home offi ce, music room and living area.

However it would make for a fantastic option for a master bedroom

or even a hang out for children of all ages. Large velux windows

and a triple aspect afford plenty of natural light and a high vantage

point to make the most of the beautiful surrounding views.


The well kept gardens of Dow Crag House are a testament to this

lovely period home. Flowering shrubbery affords a show of colour

year round whilst also proving relatively low maintenance. The

manicured lawn is perfect for families to enjoy and the whole garden

is enclosed within a dry stone wall, useful for animal and children

safety . The two driveways afford ample parking and there is a large

vehicle standing area, useful for cars, boats,caravans etc. The large

detached double garage has a workshop space and benefi ts from

two up and over doors. The gardens lead all around the property.

To the rear of the property there are two detached garden stores

and an original well. They are bounded by rolling countryside owned

by the local farmers and the church grounds.
