A six-bedroom home with an attached cottage in the Lake District has been put on the market for £1.25 million.
The property, called Oaklands, is located on Yewdale Road, Coniston, and has six bedrooms and four bathrooms in the main house.
Attached to the main house, Acorns Cottage provides an independent two-bedroom home for relatives, guests, or paying visitors.
The estate agents say that the property offers "Generous and notably adaptable accommodation suited to family life and multi-generational living."
A welcoming entrance hall introduces the scale of Oaklands, with natural light reaching through the interior.
The dining room is described as bright and dual aspect, with a bay window framing views towards Grizedale.
The sitting room features a Lakeland slate fireplace, described as the heart of the room, with dual-aspect windows capturing views towards Coniston Old Man.
French doors open directly onto the terrace, allowing the room to flow easily into the garden during warmer months.
The kitchen combines contemporary finishes with the thoughtful detail required by a busy household.
Integrated Neff appliances include a five-ring induction hob, two ovens, a microwave, a warming drawer, and a dishwasher.
The lower ground floor currently provides two adaptable bedrooms, together with a shower room featuring underfloor heating, a shower, and a WC.
The estate agent said: "The bedrooms could be reimagined as a dedicated playroom and cinema room, allowing the accommodation to evolve around children, guests, hobbies and changing routines."
Four further bedrooms occupy the first floor, each with its own outlook across the gardens or surrounding fells.
The estate agent says the attached Acorns Cottage offers fully self-contained accommodation across three floors, making it ideal for extended family or visiting friends.
Its proximity to Coniston also gives it clear potential as a holiday let.
It has a kitchen and dining room on the ground floor, together with a shower room; above, the sitting room opens onto a balcony, and a bedroom with an en-suite WC also occupies this floor, with a further double bedroom on the second floor.
Outside, private gates open onto a gravel driveway with parking for several cars.
There is also a detached garage.
Mature gardens and established planting create a "strong sense of seclusion", despite the convenient village setting.
The rear garden has lawns, established borders, and a paved terrace, overlooking Yewdale Fells and Coniston Old Man.
The house, located beneath Coniston Old Man and the wooded slopes of Grizedale, is just a short stroll away from the village.
The estate agent says this balance offers the privacy of a substantial country home without losing the ease of village life.
Oaklands is described as a home of considerable breadth and flexibility, shaped as much by its landscape as by its generous accommodation.
It offers privacy without isolation, space without formality, and a life rooted in one of the Lake District's most appealing villages.
