House
Description
Discreetly tucked away at the end of a gated driveway and surrounded by glorious Lakeland countryside, this exceptional country estate is one of those rare properties that remains largely hidden from view, offering an extraordinary sense of privacy, tranquillity and seclusion whilst enjoying breathtaking views towards Ullswater and the surrounding fells.
At the heart of the estate stands an elegant five bedroom principal residence, beautifully proportioned and complemented by three bathrooms, a magnificent games room, dedicated office and versatile living space, perfectly suited to modern family life and entertaining on a grand scale.
Set within the grounds are two cottages, providing superb flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, holiday letting or an additional income stream. One cottage offers three bedrooms, whilst the second provides two bedrooms, each enjoying its own gardens enclosed by mature hedging and established trees.
The beautifully maintained grounds extend to approximately 4.947 acres, forming a stunning backdrop to the property. Sweeping lawns, mature woodland, trees and colourful, well stocked borders combine to create a series of picturesque garden spaces, whilst a productive walled kitchen garden offers the perfect opportunity for home-grown produce. Pathways lead to an elevated terrace with a delightful circular sunken seating area, perfectly positioned to appreciate the spectacular outlook. Beyond, the traditional ha-ha allows uninterrupted views to flow effortlessly across open countryside towards the waters of Ullswater and the lakeland fells beyond.
Completing the estate is a garage with first floor office, ample parking and a sweeping driveway that encircles the principal residence, enhancing both its grandeur and practicality.
For purchasers seeking to create an even more substantial holding, there is also the opportunity to acquire an adjoining parcel of land extending to approximately 0.845 acres, available by separate negotiation.
