Large private plot with panoramic fells and sea views.
Five double bedrooms and two bathrooms
Set on about 2.25 acres within the Lake District National Park, Gillgrass House blends spacious country living with wide fells-and-coast views. The property offers generous reception rooms, a large country kitchen-diner, five double bedrooms and a sweeping patio that captures sun and scenery. Newly renovated parts of the main wing provide modern finishes and light-filled spaces while retaining period character such as exposed beams and a working fireplace.
A distinctive feature is the original, untouched wing accessed internally — a rare historic core that presents strong potential for sympathetic restoration or conversion to suit your needs. The grounds are a major asset: split-level lawns, rockery, orchard access, outbuildings and private parking give space and privacy on a substantial plot.
Buyers should note practical considerations: broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal, and drainage is to a septic tank (purchaser responsibility to ensure compliance). The dwelling combines modernised and original fabric; walls are traditional stone with assumed limited insulation and heating is listed as electric storage heaters (some information references oil heating), so verify heating/fuel details and running costs. There is an existing right of access over the driveway for a third party and council tax is listed as expensive.
Overall this is a standout rural family home or retreat for someone seeking a large, characterful property with gardens and significant restoration or improvement upside. It will particularly suit purchasers who value landscape, privacy and the chance to merge restored period rooms with newly updated living areas.
