St Helena, Egremont, CA22
House
Nestled at the end of a private lane and surrounded by approximately 10 acres of stunning countryside, St. Helena offers a rare blend of traditional charm, modern comfort, and outstanding equestrian facilities. Despite its wonderfully private setting, the property remains conveniently close to the market town of Egremont, with far reaching views across open countryside to the Ennerdale fells and Dent. The delights of the Lake District National Park are also within easy reach.
Impeccably maintained by the current owners, this traditional farmhouse is perfectly suited for those seeking space, tranquility, and the practical features essential for rural or equestrian living.
Inside, the accommodation is incredibly spacious and thoughtfully laid out. A generous entrance hallway leads into a large lounge that spans the depth of the property and features a picturesque window overlooking the paddocks - ideal for watching over your horses. The ground floor also includes a useful utility room, cloakroom/WC, a well appointed breakfast kitchen with superb views towards Egremont, a separate dining room, and a cosy snug. Upstairs, there are six bedrooms (some currently used as office space), two modern bathrooms, and an additional storage room. Every bedroom enjoys its own unique view across the grounds or surrounding landscape.
Externally, the property truly excels. Double gated access leads onto a spacious driveway with off road parking for multiple vehicles. A small, single storey stone barn just beside the house offers excellent potential for conversion (subject to planning), while a large agricultural barn provides substantial storage space - perfect for vehicles, machinery, or further development. The equestrian facilities are exceptional, with a full block of seven traditional stables, haystore, tack room, and ample room for grazing across the expansive paddocks. There’s also a pond, traditional garden and patio areas, and a variety of outbuildings.
Whether you're an equestrian enthusiast, a smallholder, or simply seeking a peaceful countryside lifestyle, St. Helena represents a truly unique opportunity - a home that blends character, practicality, and endless potential, all within one of the most unspoiled areas of the Lake District.
