Handmade Cumbrian oak cabinetry designed by local cabinetmaker Matt Jardine provides storage for pots, pans, tins and kitchen essentials. This beautiful kitchen compliments the exposed beams overhead and the flagstones underfoot. Note the bespoke glazing in the dresser where china and possessions can be displayed proudly. Central, stands the large dining table, set for 12, a perfect accompaniment to busy family life but also a splendid entertaining setting for dinner parties and celebrations.
The kitchen storage extends into a most useful utility room, that has spaces for large fridge-freezer, washer and dryer. Enter through the external door, doff your muddy boots and wash up in the Belfast sink or separate downstairs toilet. Built-in cabinets make for the perfect storage for an abundance of coats, shoes and sport kits.
Make your way across the kitchen and follow the flagstone flooring, where the underfloor heating continues, into the snug - a quiet place where you can relax by the open fire. Open the French doors onto the rear garden for children and pets to run in complete safety. Hosts can also take drinks and nibbles out to guests on the patio effortlessly.
Return to the kitchen and take the stone steps up to the library, which links through to what was once an old barn but is now a seamless 2 storey addition.
A grand living room with large glazed apertures brings the light into the space making it feel bright and welcoming whilst the huge fireplace adds warmth and a cosy vibe. An oak mezzanine balcony overlooks this sociable hub where you can tinker on the keys of the baby grand piano, entertaining the guests below.
To the right of the fireplace is a good sized double bedroom, with built-in storage cupboards, and a separate shower room, with WC and sink. This would make an excellent nook for visitors or families with multigenerational living, as the bedroom has private access onto the front decked patio.
Work your way round to the other side of the fireplace and ascend the stairs.
To the left of the landing discover a further good sized double bedroom and a bathroom, mirroring the floorplan of the floor below. Again, find excellent in-built cupboard space - storage will never be an issue at Lowside.
Take the balconied corridor along to the mezzanine, returning to the original home and into the play room. Children will be able to call this their own, and parents will be able to keep toys and games out of the way in this central space.
Light floods through the contemporary skylights as you descend the stairs to the three final bedrooms.
The first, currently used as a study is a good size with space for a double bed and freestanding furniture and across the hall stands a lovely double room with charming countryside vistas. These two rooms share the shower room, comprising large shower, WC and long vanity unit with sink. Note the high peaked ceilings, showcasing exposed beams, add an airy feel.
Find even more storage, for suitcases and Christmas decorations, in the loft above.
To the far end of the corridor lies the elegant and spacious master suite. Beamed ceilings and doorways continue, reminiscent of the original farmhouse cottage home, whilst a contemporary en-suite and dressing area add the more modern touches.
Continue down the staircase to a versatile space - office or pantry it's your choice.
The Barn
A working farm for over 400 years discover a large detached barn, opposite the home. Recently re-furbished, the barn is structurally complete with an impressive new gable end, roof, supporting beams, flooring and a breezeblock shell set inside the original building. With planning permission for ancillary accommodation, this space is filled with potential, ready for you to start work. On the lower level a garage, with room for 4 cars, stands beside a workshop both benefitting from a spacious driveway. For those working from home the upper level could become the perfect place to meet clients, or perhaps additional living space. Imagine hosting parties in a games and media room, and getting fit in the home gym.

Gardens and Grounds
The allure and characterful features of Lowside Farm extends into the gardens. Attractive and pretty the garden is cleverly divided to form separate spaces to both front and rear wrapping the home in privacy and nature.
To the front, manicured lawns sweep up over the rustic drystone walling creating split levels that add depth. Charming low picket fencing add a homely vibe as well as allowing the far-reaching views over the fields to be the rightful focal point. A grand central walled raised bed surrounds the ancient apple tree and Laburnum, that come the warmer months will be a blaze with its golden floral chains. Quite a striking centrepiece.
Traditional planting of shrubs, bushes and foliage make the borders lush and green with flowering daffodils and bluebells, adding a wave of colour in the springtime. Fill your glasses with something cool and head to the upper patio to relax in the evening sun.
A paved patio, can be found to the rear, handily accessed via the snug, just off the kitchen, making BBQs and dining alfresco effortless for the host. Take the steps here to two flat lawns where you can partake in a game of croquet whilst you wait for dinner. A handcrafted bench runs almost the full length of the space ensuring seating at your next garden party will never be a problem.
Families with children and pets will feel safe letting them run free, exploring the areas, building dens, and riding bikes on the drive.
An abundance of storage can be found in the detached double garage complete with electricity, up and over door and room for a car. In addition there is a shed ideal for gardening equipment and a stone store awaiting you to pot up plants.
