Property description
Description: Low Jock Scar is a delightful country house offering a very special environment for the family to enjoy both inside and out, together with two successful one bedroom holiday let cottages and a splendid newly completed stone and slate three bedroom cottage that the present owners have just moved into. The main house is currently running as an excellent, profitable bed and breakfast business and together with the two letting cottages enjoy repeat business year after year. On entering the house you will begin to feel the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the current owners who with their attention to detail and alterations of the original layout have upgraded all of the bedrooms with en suite shower rooms/bathrooms. The accommodation offers flexible living space on the ground floor is the entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, cloakroom and bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a splendid living room, excellent conservatory/dining room, snug, useful gallery with adjoining fitted kitchen. On the first floor are three good double bedrooms all with en suites. The cottages both have double bedrooms, excellent living rooms and modern kitchens and bathrooms.
The recently completed Butterfly Cottage is a pure delight and offers 21st century living with a splendid 21' open plan living room and kitchen, master bedroom with en suite on the ground floor and two good double bedrooms and shower room on the first floor.
Outside is a splendid timber building providing a variety of uses including machinery store and workshop. There is ample parking and turning for both guests and owners alike.
The extensive gardens and grounds are well tended and border both sides of Bannisdale Beck that flows through the garden with a wooden foot bridge and two splendid listed high and low Bannisdale bridges at either end of the property and the mature bluebell woodland completes the picture. If you are seeking a private country home set in its own grounds with space for the growing/extended family, or to work from or perhaps to run a very successful holiday business from, then come and see Low Jock Scar - we have no doubt at all you will fall in love with it once you start to drive down the tree lined entrance.
Location: Tucked away in a sleepy hollow away from the hustle and bustle of 21st century living is the well kept secret of Low Jock Scar.
Leave Kendal on the Shap Road (A6) heading to Selside. Continue for approximately five miles, taking the left turning just after the village hall. Follow the road a short way along turning right into the drive and there you will find Low Jock Scar nestling in its own truly enchanting environment.
