Rockrose has been reimagined with sensitivity and vision, creating a refined sanctuary that celebrates both design and landscape.
Originally a 1970s house, Rockrose has undergone a meticulous renovation that elevates it far beyond its origins. Now clad in stone with timber accents, it stands as a home of substance and grace. Inside, light and space flow with ease, the interior crafted with an eye for detail and a respect for quality. Oak flooring underfoot, a handcrafted staircase, and thoughtfully chosen finishes lend warmth and authenticity to every room, and create a home reshaped for 21st-century living.
The Heart of the Home
At its centre lies a sweeping kitchen, dining and living space, designed to bring people together. Sunlight floods through windows on three sides, while French doors open directly onto the garden. The kitchen, finished with sleek high-gloss cabinetry, wooden worktops, and a generous island, is at once practical and sociable. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet family supper, this is a room that adapts to every occasion.
Adjoining the main living space, a snug offers intimacy and calm, with sliding doors opening to the rear garden. This flexible room can be a retreat for reading, a playroom, or even a home office, always anchored by views of the outdoors. Practical needs have been met with equal thought, from the utility room and cloakroom to the clever mud room, which acts as a secondary entrance and everyday store.
Living Above
The first-floor features four spacious bedrooms, each finished with a balance of style and comfort. The principal bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. The second bedroom enjoys the privacy of a well-appointed en-suite, its clean lines softened by a natural palette. The family bathroom is a retreat in itself, with an indulgent egg-shaped bath, a separate walk-in shower, and fittings chosen as much for their elegance as their functionality.
Gardens and Grounds
Rockrose sits within approximately a quarter of an acre, surrounded by mature planting and rockery that ensures both beauty and privacy. The garden blends structured areas with natural growth, a lawn enclosed by trees and shrubs, and a patio that makes the most of long summer evenings. For those who value outdoor living, planning consent is already in place for a garden room, as well as a garage, offering further opportunity to enhance and expand. The house sits back from the lane, approached along a shared driveway, where additional lawned space frames the entrance.
A Setting of Rare Beauty
Life in Witherslack offers the tranquillity of a rural community without sacrificing convenience. The village itself provides essentials, from a welcoming pub to a primary school and village hall. A few miles away, Grange-over-Sands, Kendal, and Ulverston deliver a wider range of amenities, while the M6 and A590 ensure that travel is both easy and efficient. Rail connections extend the reach further still, whether for work or leisure.
What sets Rockrose apart is its position within the Lake District National Park. Woodland, fell, and water are all close at hand, meaning every walk or cycle can become an exploration. For those who thrive outdoors, it is an enviable base; for those seeking stillness, it offers restorative views from the comfort of home.
A Home for Now and for the Future
The renovation of Rockrose has not only been about beauty, but about sustainability. Eco-conscious features underpin the design, reducing running costs and ensuring the house is as forward-thinking as it is inviting. This balance of responsibility and luxury defines the character of the home.
Rockrose is a rare find: a home that honours its natural setting, embraces contemporary living, and offers a sense of belonging from the moment you arrive. For families, it promises space and adaptability. For couples, it offers privacy and escape. For all, it delivers the enduring pleasures of life in one of the most celebrated landscapes in the country.
