Summary - Potter Cottage, Near Sawrey LA22 0JZ
8 bed 7 bath Detached
Versatile period house with established holiday income and further letting potential.
Spacious Arts & Crafts main house with six double bedrooms and three ensuites
Beechmount is a distinguished Arts & Crafts country house in the heart of the Lake District, offered as a freehold going concern. The main house provides generous, characterful living spaces—impressive reception hall, drawing room, living kitchen and six double bedrooms (three with ensuites). The property sits in established grounds of about 0.47 acres with sunny terraces, formal walled garden and off-street parking.
The site already accommodates two successful holiday cottages (Potter’s Cottage and the Coach House), plus a light-filled Summer House that could be used as additional letting accommodation, a studio or home office. There is a barn with garaging and mezzanine storage; it has scope for alternative uses subject to required consents. The sale includes existing bookings, presenting immediate trading income and clear potential to increase lettings.
Practical points to note: the main house uses an oil-fired boiler for central heating; the cottages and Summer House rely on electric heating. The granite walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and any conversion or development (barn or Summer House commercial use) will require planning and building-consent checks. Business rates apply to the commercial elements; purchasers should verify liabilities independently.
This is a flexible property that will appeal to buyers seeking a large family residence with income, holiday-let investors or those wanting a lifestyle base in a UNESCO World Heritage area. It combines period charm and proven commercial performance, but also requires ongoing maintenance and careful consideration of energy and regulatory implications before any development.
