Greenbank is situated in a quiet rural location in the heart of the Lake District National Park. The property extends to approximately 9 acres of woodland, rough
grazing and mature gardens. The Arndale Beck rises in an adjacent field and flows
the length of the property feeding natural ponds and pools on its way. There is
access from the woodland directly onto the Public Footpath network with
wonderful walking right on the doorstep. The property is ringfenced with no rights
of way, access or public footpaths crossing it.
