Description
The Green represents an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a painstaking comprehensive restoration programme newly finished which has completely upgraded this country property. With a main house, cottage, detached garage block, detached office accommodation, gardens and unspoilt country views it represents a wonderful opportunity for country living.
House & Gardens
A thorough restoration to create a very special house – an extensive, adaptable and welcoming country home with good unspoilt views.
The Green was originally a farmhouse and attached barns converted long ago into residential accommodation. It was purchased by the present owners in 2009 and since then has been the subject of a comprehensive upgrade. The refurbishment programme has included a new roof,
double glazed windows, re-wiring, two new central heating boilers and plumbing overhaul (to allow zoning), stylish kitchens (by Linda Joseph Interiors in the main house) and bathroom fittings (contemporary, sleek and modern), traditional stone fireplaces and fires (a mix of solid fuel, gas and electric). Finish wise, there is new oak internal joinery (doors, main kitchen floor and staircase),
fitted bedroom furniture, good quality carpets, beautiful handmade curtains and blinds together with internal and external redecoration.
Outside there are ‘in and out’ electric wooden gates leading to an extensive parking area. There is also a third gate behind the offices for the top parking area – ideal for a boat etc. Round to the back of the house there’s more parking, a large flagged terrace for al fresco dining and a large level lawn. The new triple garage has an outside WC and utility room. Next to the garage is a covered store for bins or logs. There is also a stonebuilt detached office suite with two offices and a cloakroom, ideal if you want to work from home and have visitors calling but want to keep the
house private. The external drains have been renewed and new septic tank installed.
All of this work complements the house’s natural charm – stone built with a flagged roof, beamed ceiling and stone mullion windows.
All in all this is a really well thought out property. It’s ready for a new owner to personalise it and enjoy the experience of life at The Green.
Accommodation
An impressive family house with an attached cottage suitable for occupation as one or two properties. Ideal for multi generational living, dependent family members, holiday or permanent lets. The house has been subject to an extensive restoration project over 2009/10 where great attention to detail has been applied to create an exceptionally well appointed family home.
The main house offers five bedrooms, the cottage a further three bedrooms on one level so ideal for grandparents. Externally there is a three car garage and detached office suite. There is extensive parking and turning space. Large flagged terrace taking in the unspoilt country views and a large garden. Gross internal measurement 434.5 sq.m (4677.4 sq.ft).

Directions
Mewith Lane can be approached from a variety of different directions which makes it actually very accessible, although on first discovery the series of small lanes could be confusing. This is the easiest way, once you’ve got the hang of it, we can show you half a dozen more!
To find the house from Low Bentham turn up by the Punchbowl Public House. Continue up here and turn second left onto Fairheath Lane (it’s got a nameplate and is signposted Lowgills/Tatham Fells) then turn first left onto Mewith Lane (this is signposted). The Green is the third property on the left.
