Haverigg is a highly individual and charming family residence, steeped in history and set within the picturesque Drinkstone Park estate. Once part of the former Coach House, this unique home was lovingly converted and now offers spacious, versatile accommodation, perfectly blending period charm with modern family living. Positioned in a secluded, tranquil location, Haverigg is approached via a private driveway shared with just three other properties, providing a sense of exclusivity and privacy. In all about 1.6 acres.
The accommodation includes four generously proportioned double bedrooms, all of which enjoy delightful views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. Each bedroom is fitted with wardrobes, and the largest bedroom benefits from its own shower cubicle and vanity unit. The ground floor showcases three large reception rooms, offering flexible living and entertaining space. The light-filled drawing room, with its rear aspect window and French doors opening to the rear garden is a standout feature, and with a working fireplace provides a wonderful space to relax and enjoy the garden views. The study with its front aspect boasts views of the woodland and includes a cosy log-effect electric heater, ideal for winter evenings. The dining room has double aspect windows and provides an inviting setting for family meals or entertaining guests.
The farmhouse-style kitchen is a welcoming hub of the home, fitted with a range of base units under worktops and complemented by wall-mounted storage cupboards. With an inset sink, electric oven, microwave, and four-ring hob, the kitchen offers both practicality and rustic charm. An external door provides direct access to the rear garden, enhancing the flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Additionally, the ground floor includes a modern shower room, equipped with a WC, wash basin, and shower cubicle for added convenience.
The beauty of Haverigg extends beyond the interiors, with approximately 1.6 acres of gardens and grounds that have been thoughtfully designed to maximise the enjoyment of the natural surroundings. The mature woodland area, located at the front of the property, spans roughly 0.9 of an acre and is home to a variety of specimen trees. In recent years, this area has been allowed to rewild, creating a haven for wildlife and birdlife, making it a nature lover's paradise. The formal gardens to the rear are meticulously maintained, featuring a mix of well-manicured lawns, fruit trees, wildflower borders, formally planted borders, raised brick bed for Alpine flowers and attractive hedging. These gardens offer a serene retreat, perfect for outdoor dining, relaxation, or exploring nature.
The property also benefits from an array of practical outbuildings, including a workshop, potting shed, a detached barn and a double garage. The garden office is also a studio bedroom for guests. These versatile spaces provide ample storage and potential for a range of uses, from home working to hobby spaces, or even further development subject to planning permissions.
In summary, Haverigg offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in a beautiful rural setting. With its combination of spacious accommodation, charming character features, extensive gardens and a peaceful, secluded location, this property is a truly special family home that provides a countryside lifestyle while still being within reach of local amenities and transport links.
