Description
A must see, unique family property, Roodlands is a substantial and very well-presented detached house, built in the 1800’s, having been extensively and stylishly renovated by the current owners in 2020. The interior design combines contemporary style with period detail. The layout of the property provides spacious living and entertaining spaces, and the garden offers a generous area for play and wonderful place to sit and relax.
Roodlands is generously proportioned and arranged over two floors. Access is via a wide wooden door with glass panelling, entering into a welcoming reception hall where all areas of the house can be accessed. The well-appointed bespoke kitchen/dining area built by local cabinet maker has a large central local slate island with breakfast bar. Light pours through the two large windows to the front, one with window seat. The dining area sits on slate flooring and has bespoke built in bookcase. Through from here, you enter the fabulous boot room where there is enough space for boots, shoes, coats and much more. At the end of the dining area is a lovely craft room. Taking a left from the splendid hallway, you enter the lounge with its tall ceilings and French doors, this space exudes elegance, with original refurbished shutters to the doors and windows and a wood burner encased in a black slate surround. Also to the ground floor is a utility room, downstairs WC and two staircases to access the upstairs.
To the first floor there are four bedrooms, one having a mezzanine, super fun for children. The other three bedrooms all face to the front of the property where light floods the rooms. There are a further two bathrooms and an amazing spacious landing area that could have many uses from a quiet space to read or a home office. The garden is all to the front, laid to lawn with gravelled and paved areas for seating. The property is fully double glazed and is heated by a gas boiler and water is provided by a cylinder water heater.
Portinscale is a very popular village right on the edge of Derwent Water Lake, it boasts 2 great café/restaurants, a pub and two marinas and is only a short walk from Keswick across the Howrah’s. The property is a three minute walk from the lake, has clear views of Skiddaw, Latrigg and Clough Head and is on the route to Catbells which is two miles away.
Edwin Thompson thoroughly recommends internal viewing of this property.
