Oakleigh House is a magnificent detached Victorian property situated in a

Lake District National Park. The double fronted property is undergoing
sensational renovations and updates to create a remarkable contemporary home

Open views to the south take in Sale Fell, whilst stepping into the gardens
brings views to Bassenthwaite and Skiddaw in the east. The beautiful external
appearance and setting will be matched internally by an elegant mix of
traditional features and high quality contemporary fixtures and fittings, all
designed for the ultimate in luxury. This includes engineered oak floors,

including Cat5 ethernet cabling throughout, ceiling mounted WiFi connection

a stained glass panelled inner door leading to the central hall. Two reception
rooms sit to the front elevation boasting gorgeous bay windows that frame the
delightful views. The dining room adds a third reception with space for more
formal entertaining and an open flow through to the sensational kitchen. A
striking roof lantern and bi - fold doors bring swathes of natural light,
creating a bright, airy and appealing atmosphere. Bespoke cabinetry by
Caledonian Kitchens features shaker style units and Silestone worksurfaces

double bedrooms positioned either side of an elegant shower room. All
sanitaryware and brassware throughout the bathrooms is by Burlington Bathrooms
