The front door opens into a large hall with a beautiful original wood staircase to middle and top floors.

On either side of front door are two sitting rooms, one spacious and modern with large bay window, leading to a small balcony. The other is smaller and snug in a more traditional style, it was originally the library to the house and still has a collection of books and games for adults and children. There are also maps and pamphlets on walks for everyone. Both sitting rooms have open log fires, T.V including sky+ box (free channels only), stereos, DVD and video players.

To the rear of the hallway is large dining room/kitchen and a utility room leading to a shower room with toilet. The kitchen has a large range cooker, fridge and microwave and is well equipped with more than adequate crockery, cutlery and glasses. There are plenty of large pots, pans, serving dishes, baking trays, kitchen utensils and electrical equipment. We are fully aware that Kirkbeck is often used for celebratory meals and have tried to think of everything that might be needed.

The cellar has been converted into a games room with a full-size slate-bed pool table.

The utility room has a larger fridge, a chest freezer, two dishwashers and a washer/dryer.

Dining area has a large table that can seat 14/16 adults comfortably and 18/20 if party includes children. French doors lead to the rear garden.

The first floor has a spacious light landing with four bedrooms:1 double en-suite, 2 doubles, one with wash hand basin and 1 twin also with wash hand basin.

There is a bathroom with large bath (shower over) wash hand basin and toilet. There is also a small separate toilet with wash hand basin and a small drying cupboard.

The second floor again has spacious landing with four bedrooms: 1 double plus single en-suite, 1 family with 1 double and 2 single beds, 1 double and a twin, there is also a good quality put you up which could be used in most rooms. There is another bathroom on this floor again with a large bath (shower over) washhand basin and toilet.There are also fabulous views from this room.

The house back and front has a covered veranda. (ideal for smokers as smoking is not permitted indoors) The garden is large, well established with child safe fences and gates. There are two patio areas with large trestle tables one with access to the dining/kitchen area through french doors. Parking is ample at front of the house (5 cars with full access, space for 8 if necessary) and a loading and off loading area at rear.

A garden shed houses children’s outdoor games, barbeque equipment and garden furniture.

Immediately across the road is a play park and large area for team games. During the summer holidays the school next door opens its swimming pool and tennis courts to the public (please ask for details). The lake which is a flat 10min walk from the house has a cafe and boating centre and is perfect for paddling and swimming, picnicking, rowing and sailing.
