Lupton Mill, Lupton, Cumbria, Cumbria, LA6 2PW Guide price £725,000

Situation

Lupton is a small scattered hamlet approached off the A65 between Kirkby Lonsdale and the M6 (junction 36). For those not familiar with Kirkby Lonsdale it is a popular and well-regarded market town on the River Lune in the heart of a picturesque valley. The town has a good range of business and leisure facilities with a great selection of restaurants and a Booths supermarket. The area is well served by independent schools with well regarded state schools (St Mary’s and Queen Elizabeth) in Ki rkby Lonsdale itsel f. A more comprehensive selection of amenities can be found in Kendal (9 miles) or Lancast er (16 miles) with connection to the West Coast railway line at Oxenholme (6.5 miles). Connection to the M6 is 1.5 miles away making it a highly accessible location. It provides all that one could require in terms of peace, quiet and rural t ranquillity, especially when one is sat
in the garden overlooking the millpond – it’s an absolute gem. The best of both worlds.

Description

Overlooking its own mill pond and with Lupton beck running through the beautiful unspoilt gardens, this is a fabulous opportunity and truly a case of location, location, location.
The earliest record of the building was in 1311. The Grade II Listed corn mill as it now stands, was in operation until 1968. Lying derelict it was then purchased by the current owners, an architect and his wife in 1985 when it was carefully rebuilt and converted to create the interesting and unusual property it is today.
Now ready for some cosmetic updating few will disagree that this is a unique slice of our industrial heritage and a wonderful opportunity to put your stamp on a bespoke mill conversion.
With a hallway and landing set around the magnificent mill machinery, the accommodation provides for a large sitting room (with doors out to a balcony constructed above the original mill
wheel), spacious dining room, both open to the apex with impressive roof timbers, two kitchens (one on the top floor for everyday use and one on the ground floor for summer garden parties and outdoor lunches ), four bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. There is a spacious and bright conservatory which leads out to the garden.
