Knipe Wood,CONISTON,LA21 8AB
LA21 8AB
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious family home with guest studio, ancient woodland and direct fell access.
Panoramic lake and Coniston fells views from principal rooms
Set on the quieter east side of Coniston Water, this detached four-bedroom home delivers unrivalled panoramic views across the lake and Coniston fells. The main house offers spacious living: a bay-fronted sitting room, generous dining room, fitted family kitchen, study and two bathrooms — ideal for family living with direct access to extensive tiered gardens. A self-contained one‑bed studio cottage in the grounds provides flexible ancillary accommodation for guests, carers, short‑let income or a separate home office.
The plot is a major asset: immaculate wrap‑around gardens, a pond, greenhouse and mature borders spill into roughly 10 acres of ancient woodland that join the boundary with Grizedale Forest. Parking is plentiful on a private gravel drive with a large garage and utility room beneath the house. Ultrafast Openreach broadband is available — a real plus for remote working — and there are numerous direct fell and lakeside walks from the doorstep.
Practical points to note: heating is oil‑fired, drainage is to an on‑site septic tank (buyers should seek independent advice on current regulations), and there is no mobile phone coverage on-site. Council tax is Band G, reflecting the property’s size and location. The setting is very rural and largely isolated, which suits buyers seeking privacy but may not suit those wanting strong local services or transport links.
Overall this is a substantial, immaculately presented Lakeland home with exceptional outdoor space and proven flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or holiday‑let potential. It will particularly appeal to families, downsizers seeking space and privacy, or buyers looking for an income stream from the studio cottage.
