Blawith, Ulverston, Cumbria

This charming former rectory, dating back to the 1830s, is nestled within the picturesque Lake District National Park, just a mile from Coniston Water. Hollybank offers three spacious double bedrooms and generous living areas, along with south-facing gardens and an attached former coach house, presenting a unique opportunity for renovation and enhancement. The property’s rich history adds character, while its potential for modernisation allows new owners to tailor the space to their preferences. With approximately 1,392 sq ft of living space and an additional 200 sq ft of garage and workshop area, the layout is both functional and inviting. The front of the house features a dining room and lounge, each with attractive bay windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The dining room boasts a traditional fireplace, creating a warm focal point, while the lounge offers ample space for family gatherings. A separate study at the rear serves as a versatile additional reception room, ideal for use as a home office or snug. At the heart of the home is the kitchen, fitted with traditional pine cabinetry and a slate-flagged floor that complements its character. A practical utility room provides rear access and leads to the former coach house, which offers valuable storage and workspace, with potential for future development into additional accommodation, subject to planning consent. On the first floor, a central landing leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each benefiting from large windows that showcase views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. Two of the bedrooms include built-in storage. Completing this level is a generous bathroom that presents an opportunity for updating. Externally, Hollybank is approached via a gated driveway with parking, while the principal gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by hedging and traditional stone walls. Notably, four bee boles incorporated within the rear wall add historic interest. For those seeking a permanent Lakeland residence or a character property ripe for improvement, Hollybank represents a rare opportunity with significant potential for its next chapter.
