Description

Nestled in the unspoilt Kentmere Valley, Ulthwaite Fold is a rare and enchanting Lakeland retreat that embodies the perfect blend of period character, contemporary comfort, and sublime natural surroundings. This detached five-bedroom property, built from traditional Lakeland stone, sits proudly in 0.43 acres of beautifully tended gardens, offering an exceptional blend of space, light, and craftsmanship. The home's design is understated, with a sequence of rooms that feel generous yet intimate, connected yet distinct. The heart of the home is the kitchen, which is anchored by a traditional Aga and serves as a gathering point for the family. The property also features a snug with a log-burning stove, a main living room with a woodburner, and a dining room with exposed beams. The upper floor offers four large bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and an additional living room with panoramic views across the valley. The gardens are a triumph, with thoughtfully planted areas, fruit trees, and sheltered seating areas, and the property also benefits from a separate 1.18-acre paddock with its own river frontage. The Kentmere Valley is a peaceful and unspoilt area, with the village of Staveley providing excellent amenities just a short drive away.
