An exceptional, Grade II listed lakefront estate offering commanding panoramic views across Lake Windermere to Loughrigg Fell and the Langdales. Set on an elevated plot of c.2.7 acres, the property has been comprehensively renovated in the past six years and combines grand period proportions with contemporary fittings, including a spectacular orangery, extensive reception rooms and substantial cellar space with conversion potential.
Originally a single eleven-bedroom house, the fabric now provides two four-bedroom houses and a three-bedroom cottage, a configuration that currently produces holiday-let income and supports multi-generational living. The layout can be reverted to a single residence subject to any necessary consents. On-site parking and garaging accommodate over ten vehicles, and there is direct National Trust lakeside access nearby.
Buyers should note important constraints: the Grade II listing will limit external and internal change and can complicate alterations or redevelopment. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location and council tax is described as quite expensive. Any purchaser seeking tax benefits should obtain independent legal advice about potential mixed-use SDLT relief — the vendor believes significant savings may be available but this is not guaranteed.
This property will suit purchasers seeking a large, characterful country residence with proven holiday-let potential, or investors wanting an income-generating, high-profile asset in the Lake District National Park. The combination of setting, recent renovation and scale is rare, but legal, planning and service limitations should be factored into any decision.
