Situated at the very heart of the highly desirable village of Dacre, within the breathtaking Lake District National Park, this exceptional Grade II listed four-bedroom home dates back to 1769 and offers an exquisite blend of historic charm, refined character and comfortable modern living. Beautifully presented throughout, the property exudes warmth and authenticity, with a wealth of original features including inglenook fireplaces, sash windows with working shutters, exposed stonework and traditional latch doors, all thoughtfully complemented by stylish and practical upgrades. Accessed from the original front door or the side door, which leads into the entrance hall that flows seamlessly into the heart of the home — a characterful kitchen/dining space. Along the way, a latch door opens into a useful utility room, fitted with base units, a solid wooden worktop and Belfast sink beneath a side aspect window, with space for laundry appliances. A WC sits just beyond. The kitchen itself is wonderfully in keeping with the age of the property, featuring bespoke country-style wooden units and a substantial fitted cabinet offering excellent storage. A ceramic sink with drainer and mixer taps is positioned beneath the rear window, while a cream Belling range sits proudly within an original inglenook fireplace, complete with tiled splashbacks and traditional detailing. Sandstone flagged flooring runs throughout, enhancing the rustic charm. Double doors open into a later extension, currently utilised as a dining room and garden room, flooded with natural light and offering direct access to the rear garden—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A further door from the kitchen leads into the main living room, while stairs rise to the first floor and a useful understairs cupboard provides additional storage. The living room is a beautifully balanced space—cosy yet generously proportioned—with twin 12-pane sash windows complete with shutters, overlooking the front garden and village green beyond. An original inglenook fireplace with exposed stone and retained metalwork houses a wood-burning stove, while fitted cabinetry and a window seat add to the room’s charm. A second reception room, equally characterful and versatile, also enjoys a front aspect with matching sash windows, shutters and window seat. Having served as both a formal dining room and sitting room, it offers flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles, with a stone fireplace providing a central focal point. To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a front aspect and benefits from two large fitted cupboards, offering potential for conversion into an ensuite. Two further double bedrooms include one to the front with a feature fireplace set within a stone surround and window seat, and another to the side aspect. A fourth single bedroom sits to the rear, enjoying a dual aspect with views towards Blencathra, along with integrated storage. The accommodation is served by a shower room fitted with WC, basin and tiled shower cubicle with mains shower, alongside a second bathroom comprising WC, basin and bath with shower attachment and screen. Both benefit from heated towel rails. Externally, the property continues to impress. To the rear is a substantial adjoining outhouse, housing the boiler and water cylinder while offering excellent storage. Private allocated parking for two vehicles is located to the side. The gardens are a true highlight. To the front, a beautifully manicured walled garden which delights in the morning sun, is planted with seasonal flowers, shrubs and neatly trimmed hedging, with a gravelled pathway leading to the property and side access. Beyond, the charming village green provides a picturesque outlook. To the rear, the garden is simply enchanting and enjoys the afternoon sun, along with beautiful sunsets. A gently flowing beck runs along one side, while a gravelled seating area adjoining the dining room creates an ideal space for alfresco dining. The lawn is accompanied by established shrubs, vibrant flower beds and a magnificent willow tree, all set against a stunning backdrop of open countryside. This peaceful and private haven is rich in wildlife and perfectly encapsulates rural living at its finest. A home of immense character and history, offering a rare opportunity to become part of its enduring story, this is quintessential Lake District living in one of the region’s most sought-after and community-focused villages.
