Vendor Insight We’ve really enjoyed inviting friends and family round.

The orangery and how it connects with the kitchen and sitting room has been a game changer as to how we live and enjoy the rooms individually and the space as a whole.

When it’s warmer, we can open the orangery up to the garden and flow out onto the deck. We put lights around the roof lantern which look lovely as they reflect in the glass.

On winter evenings and weekends, we love to light the fire; the open fire drawing everyone in.

Location The small and scattered hamlet of Lupton enjoys an advantageous position, there are good walks straight from the doorstep and a popular pub, The Plough, within walking distance.

For shops, schools and services the market towns of Kirkby Lonsdale and Kendal and city of Lancaster are all convenient, for outdoor recreation the unspoilt open countryside of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks are both within easy day-trip distance and for wider travel, whether by road or rail, J36 of the M6 is just under a mile distant and Oxenholme station is a drive of 6 miles.

Vendor Insight We appreciate the location; it’s rural but not isolated. The proximity of the motorway has been a major advantage for us as we both commute for work.

We’ve found it to be a very peaceful place to live. We have neighbours but are not overlooked. It’s a great location if you enjoy walking without getting in the car.

Step inside Tucked away and enjoying far-reaching views towards the dramatic limestone escarpment of Farleton Knott above neighbouring rooftops, this beautifully refurbished and extended detached chalet bungalow offers the perfect blend of countryside charm and modern family living.

Built in 1972, the property has undergone a comprehensive transformation since 2014 under the guiding hands of the current owners.

The result is a warm, welcoming home with stylish finishes and an interconnected living space at its heart which has been thoughtfully created for both everyday family life and flexible entertaining.

The kitchen is attractively fitted and has a multi-functional Esse range (cooking and hot water), Villeroy & Boch double Belfast sink and wood block worktops.

The engineered oak kitchen floor continues through to the partially open plan and very inviting sitting room, where an open fire provides a cosy focal point.

Both the kitchen and sitting room both then flow effortlessly into a stunning triple-aspect orangery.

With aluminium framed glazing (for minimal upkeep) and a large roof lantern, this light-filled room has super views of the garden and Farleton Knott, it truly brings the outside in and through bi-folding doors connects seamlessly to the deck which spans Sarah Beck and the well-stocked gardens.

For added practicality there is a separate utility room which provides extensive storage and an integral garage.

The ground floor also offers flexibility for single-level living or as a future proofing option, with a generous double bedroom enjoying views over the garden to the adjacent field - lovely for lazy mornings watching the sheep graze in the field opposite.

The room features a wall of stylish, freestanding wardrobes and a characterful ensuite bathroom, complete with oak-surround bath with shower over, vanity unit and WC.

A separate ground floor shower room adds further convenience, fitted with contemporary sanitaryware including a floating wash basin and large rainfall shower.

Clever use of space continues under the centrally positioned stairs, where a tucked-away study area offers an ideal work-from-home nook.

Painted wooden stairs rise to the first floor where the long landing includes under eaves cupboards and a loft room for readily accessible storage as well as a handy cloakroom having wash basin and WC.

Two further double bedrooms provide peaceful retreats.

One enjoys open views towards Farleton Knott, while the other boasts French doors opening onto a newly constructed roof terrace (completed in 2025 and finished with composite decking for ease of maintenance), with lovely leafy views in three directions and sunlight almost all day this has made an idyllic spot for morning coffee with the papers or chilled evening sundowners with friends.

Badgers Sett combines rural peace with stylish, practical living – an exceptional opportunity in a highly accessible hamlet location.

Vendor Insight The roof terrace has been a great addition, we honestly wished we’d done it earlier.

It’s peaceful place to relax surrounded by greenery and the background sound of birdsong and Sarah Beck. We’ve enjoyed it with friends, it’s so private, not at all overlooked.

Step outside The surrounding gardens not only create a very private setting, but are a delight; as keen gardeners, the owners have stocked the outside space well with a well-considered variety of trees and shrubs designed to provide year-round seasonal variety, colour, structure and interest.

There are birch, maple, horse chestnut, willow, holly and eucalyptus trees, rhododendrons and elderberry as well as several climbers and shrubs with colourful autumnal berries.

A well-established wisteria adorns the lower entrance off the lane and trails along the adjoining walls, creating a beautiful display of blossom each spring.

A composite deck sits adjacent to the orangery and provides a low upkeep seating area with an extension jutting across the beck – a peaceful place to take a chair and enjoy a quiet moment with the sound of the flowing water beneath.

Views stretch across the garden and neighbouring rooftops to the fields and fell beyond, giving a real sense of place and tranquility.

For anyone keen on growing their own, there is a greenhouse, polytunnel and vegetable plot along with blueberry bushes, a herb garden and a collection of fruit trees including apple (eating and cooking), pear, plum and damson.

On the side lawn is a wildflower garden which has come into its own for bringing fresh blooms indoors. There are two drives and parking areas.

The main approach to the front door is the second entrance off the lane, with parking in front of the garage.

The lower drive was added when the orangery was built and went on to be extended to create a useful overflow parking area with a bay behind a row of willows which is ideal for a campervan, motorhome or boat.

The oil tank is tucked away as is the useful log store.

Vendor Insight We very much enjoy the relaxing soundtrack of Sarah Beck, it can run dry in summer but when in flow it attracts wildlife including ducks.

Other birds visit the garden including pheasants, tits, wrens and a full range of finches. Looking out to the field opposite, we often spot deer which is very special.
