Summary - Glen Rowan, Crook LA8 9HT
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Extensively renovated family home with annexe and sweeping fell views.
Approximately 6.5 acres of private grounds and paddocks
Set within about 6.5 acres on the fringes of the Lake District National Park, this extensively renovated four-bedroom detached home balances large-scale country living with contemporary comfort. The house delivers bright, vaulted principal rooms, a generous open-plan kitchen/living space with a central island and integrated AGA, and large windows that capture uninterrupted fell views. Practical upgrades include a new boiler, underfloor heating in bathrooms and kitchen, ultrafast B4RN broadband, and a newly refurbished outbuilding and studio.
The property includes a self-contained annexe and a separate games/studio converted from former stables, offering versatile space for multigenerational living, guests or rental income. The established terrace and large patio off the living areas provide all-day sun and easy alfresco entertaining, while the surrounding paddock and fields suit equestrian use, a tennis court or extensive garden landscaping.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating runs on LPG (not a community gas supply), and the property uses private water and drainage systems — the water pump was recently replaced but ongoing maintenance responsibility remains. Council Tax is band E, reflecting the size and facilities, and the very large plot will require regular upkeep and management. There is no flood risk and parking is plentiful with off-street spaces and a flexible carport.
Well placed for outdoor life yet minutes from local amenities, the house sits about five minutes from Staveley/Bowness and 15 minutes to Kendal. It will suit purchasers seeking a substantial, turn-key country home with flexible living spaces and significant land, particularly families or those requiring guest accommodation or workspace.
