Full description
A country bungalow enjoyed by the owners and paying guests as a holiday home but equally suited to retirement or as a permanent home for those seeking a village location. Offered in ready to move in condition this Lakeland property has no upward chain. The elevated position in the village of Crook enjoys an unrivalled aspect looking out over the rooftops of the Mill Yard cottages to the unspoilt landscape of the National Park extending as far as the Kent Estuary. There are ample gardens and parking, the "Old Smithy" offers potential for further living or work/hobby space. Do come up the drive and up the steps and then turn and see the reason the present owners bought Millcrest.
Location: The Village of Crook is situated between the Market Town of Kendal and Windermere. From Kendal proceed to the Plumgarths roundabout and take the B5284 signposted to Hawkeshead Via Ferry. Continue for approximately two miles, proceed past the Sun Inn, and then take the first turning on your left, follow the lane down and then take the first right after the row of cottages into the entrance of the driveway for Millcrest.Â
Description: Millcrest is a country bungalow built on the site of a former Woollen Mill in the village of Crook. The much photographed Hamlet that is now "The Mill Yard" tells nothing of its fascinating history and pre industrial revolution origins. The property is currently commercially let for holiday enjoyment and presented in a condition that is appropriate for commercial success. The kitchen is excellent and has been recently refitted.Â
