2 Greenbank 845,000 Greenbank 17 New Street Sedbergh Cumbria LA10 5AF First time on the open market for nearly 100 years! A beautiful example of a mid Victorian detached house that has been altered, extended, improved and now provides welcoming accommodation that includes three/four reception rooms, six bedrooms and four bathrooms. This most appealing home strikes just the right balance with the original features including decorative panelling and glass work, striking feature fireplaces and bathrooms sitting well with the modern shower rooms and kitchen/dining area. Entrance Hall It would be easy to concentrate on what the house has to offer whilst forgetting the wonderful outside space. Once a commercial nursery, the gardens have been completely redesigned to include large formal walled gardens, woodland glade with stream-bed and several wild flower meadows, together with numerous useful greenhouses, studios, stores and a large polytunnel.

3 Description Greenbank dates back to the early 1850s, in its original plan a simple square house with a central front door on the south side. With this plot went a right of way due south to Main Street and this was marked out to form New Street. The entire street became a private road and remains so today.

Gardens The gardens were at one time part of a commercial nursery, and the alpine house bordering the formal garden was once the largest of its kind in the country. The formal walled garden, with its circular central bed bordered with granite sets and its stone-paved paths, provides colour and interest throughout the year. There is a small round pond, several large stone troughs inset in the design, and a trellis arbour, and several further seating areas where you can follow the sun through the day. A sheltered corner has an inset of brick slips set in a herring-bone pattern, which is surrounded by bricks partly taken form the walls of an original 1875 strawberry house which once stood on the site. A smaller front garden is surrounded by yew hedges and features clipped box and yew cones.

9 Bedroom Three Bedroom Two Bedroom Four The outer gardens are filled with rare trees and shrubs, interspersed with wild flower meadows, all set out for ease of maintenance and the encouragement of wild life - the bird population is striking. Further up is a stunning bluebell wood, through which runs a small boulder-strewn stream which flows after heavy rain (see further note), and a beautiful meadow filled with daffodils in spring. Abutting this meadow, and with a gated entrance to it, is an additional paddock of 1.3 acres (including a small wood), available by separate negotiation. This field has its own entrance on to Castlehaw Lane, and affords magnificent panoramic views of the nearby motte and bailey castle and the surrounding fells.

Japanese Knotweed: a historical colony was detected in the woodland area and virtually eradicated by a registered weed control contractor some years ago, and any residual growths which occasionally occur in some woodland areas in spring are immediately treated with the recommended selective herbicide (Tordon 22k) and later removed and burned. A watercourse runs through the woodland area and garden, originating in a spring in the field above the north ern boundary. This only runs after prolonged or heavy rain but did flood into the garden in some places after Storm Desmond in To ensure this is not repeated the entire open length of the watercourse has been deepened and the area landscaped with shallow pools inserted at intervals to slow the flow, in March The Formal Garden Daffodil Meadow Bluebell Wood
