Bedrock is a striking house newly-built with three floors designed to capture stunning panoramic views of Lingmoor Fell and the Langdale Pikes.

Its unusual name derives from the fact that it was built by local craftsmen from slate excavated from the rock on which it is situated in the Langdale Valley.

Bedrock is free from occupancy restrictions – a rarity for properties in this locality – and showcases superb contemporary styling aligned with high-grade features.

An entrance hall/utility room with fitted cabinets and slate worktops provides internal access to a spacious garage and also leads to a ground-floor bedroom.

This boasts a luxurious en-suite and large picture window offering a dramatic view of the rugged rock face to the rear of the property.

An impressive staircase of solid oak, stainless steel and glass leads to the first floor where a spectacular open-plan living space is flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows.

Externally, an impressive local slate staircase with glass balustrade leads to the formal front door, which opens into this fabulous heart of the home. Exposed oak beams and trusses complement the natural surroundings and a Scandinavian log burner provides year-round comfort.

The first floor has two terraces, one with large sliding glass doors to the front of the property where structural glass balustrades maximise the views out and light in.

A second terrace, with two levels, is at the back of the house and has seamless integration with the dramatic and craggy rock face.

An open-plan dining kitchen completes the first floor and the second floor has two bedrooms with full-length windows providing breathtaking views. Both rooms are bright and spacious with exposed oak trusses.
