Situated in the most idyllic and tranquil position, a true hidden gem, set

behind private gates away from the hustle and bustle of life, Hermitage

Cottage is a sympathetically converted, former stables belonging to the

prestigious Hermitage Estate, which was originally built in 1849. Set in an

elevated position and built for John Sharp a former Mayor of Lancaster,

covering 6.75 acres that is surrounded by the River Lune on three sides,

the site has long been recognised and respected for it’s topography and

beauty. Queen Victoria is reputed to have stayed here on passing through

the Crook O’Lune. One of six private residential dwellings that now share

the grounds, Hermitage Cottage is quietly located on the edge of the

grounds, from every aspect picturesque and unrivalled views over the

River. This opportunity presents a unique sense of serenity as a permanent

home or for semi-retired couples or city residents looking for the perfect

lock up and leave for a tranquil weekend retreat. The conversion has been

sympathetically carried out to the highest of standards and offers well

planned accommodation, set out over a single fl oor, comprising open plan

living area, kitchen and two double bedrooms whilst a recently added

garden room takes full advantage of the spectacular scenery.

Located in the heart of the Crook O Lune, nestled along the banks of the

River. The cottage offers secure safe living very close to the river, some 17

ft/ 5m above the highest point of fl ood Desmond, so you can feel very

secure and enjoy the ever changing scenery and abundent wildlife. An

additional treat; on a sunny morning with the bedroom curtains open, you

can enjoy the refl ection of dancing waters refl ected on the ceiling. This

peaceful tranquil setting does not compromise on accessibility, with junction

34 of the M6 motorway being a mere fi ve minute drive away. The city of

Lancaster, with it’s West Coast Mainline Train Station, Hospital and University,

can be reached in approximately 10-15 minutes. Around the Crook O

Lune there are a great many scenic walks and picnic areas to enjoy. For

local amenities, nearby Caton provides a range of local shops, doctors,

primary school and two pubs. Similarly, Halton has much to offer, again, a

pub, shops, doctors, pharmacy and not forgetting Halton Mill; this has many

attractions including events, exhibitions, meet-ups, workshops, classes and

shows from visiting drama groups whilst there are also shared or private

offi ces and studios available.

Electrically operated wrought iron gates give way to the private driveway

of the estate that sweeps through the neatly manicured grounds. Along

with the visitors parking area, Hermitage Cottage has two private parking

spaces with a 13amp electric car charging point. This parking is situated

alongside the property. Entrance to the cottage is via an attractive, heavy

framed solid wooden door, this leads into the welcoming entrance hall,

Karndean floors running the length of this hallway. Here there are two

large storage cupboards, great for hiding away the coats and shoes. Stepping

up into the open plan living area, the room is flooded with natural light

from the full length windows of the garden room, a great new addition

which was recently completed by the current vendors; from which to

enjoy the picturesque setting with unparalleled outlook over the River. The

views are simply mesmerising and bring a sense of calm and peace to the

property. The kitchen is located just off the living room and has been well

planned with high quality Siematic units, granite worktops, contemporary

splash back tiling and Karndean flooring, the NEFF integrated appliances

include a washer/ dryer, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and a 4 ring induction

hob with stylish stainless steel extractor hood. Leading down the long

corridor from the entrance brings you to the first of the double bedrooms

that features a wonderful picture window overlooking the River. All of the

rooms in the cottage have been designed to enhance and take advantage

of the stunning river and countryside views. Both the bathrooms benefit

from underfloor heating and is fitted with luxury Villeroy & Boch sanitary

ware. The guest bathroom includes WC, wash hand basin and a tiled bath

with over bath shower. The master en-suite bedroom is quietly tucked

away at the end of the property and again, enjoys the stunning river aspect.

In here is a bespoke quality fitted wardrobe, made by H&M Craftsmen

of Ingleton. The fully tiled en-suite shower room also includes, WC, wash

hand basin and large shower cubical. A view of the river is sure to brighten

anyone's morning in this truly tranquil home.

Hermitage Cottage is enveloped by 6.75 acres of meticulously maintained

communal grounds, with the additional, benefit of a private patio and

decking area. A sun trap during the day, the patio can be accessed directly

from the Estate drive or via the door off the garden room; an ideal space

for alfresco dining in the warmer months. Steps lead down to a lower level;

a decoratively paved pathway that leads to a picturesque seating area from

which to enjoy the panoramic, unrivalled views over the River Lune. This

pathway also leads out to the Estate main entrance, passing the separate

workshop/studio/store. This is a great additional space that has been fully

insulated and has power, light and heating, making it an ideal workshop or

home office that is quietly located away from the cottage amongst the

trees. Other steps continue down to the river banks or the grounds beyond.

The communal grounds are vast and offer an abundance of places to stroll

and enjoy the wonderful scenery. There is also a well disguised hideout

which makes for a great place from which to spot the abundance of birds

and wildlife that congregate on the river, including swans, ducks, nesting

geese and a resident otter family. With stone steps leading through bushes,

to a stone built Pergola, manicured lawns and woodlands, the grounds are

exceptionally well kept and a great place to enjoy for all the family. During

the recent lockdown our wide open private spaces have been invaluable,

an opportunity to relax and enjoy the wide outside in total safety.
