This expansive Victorian residence, set within approximately 5.7 acres of scenic grounds, offers a unique blend of historical charm and potential for modern living. Originally constructed in 1857, the four-bedroom home retains many original features that can be celebrated alongside contemporary upgrades. The property is elevated above stunning views of the Lakeland Fells and is surrounded by mature woodland, creating a peaceful retreat while remaining conveniently close to amenities in Braithwaite and Keswick.
The interior boasts spacious rooms filled with light, including a large lounge featuring arched windows that frame the picturesque landscape. The ground floor also includes a dining area and kitchen alongside practical spaces such as a pantry and utility room.
Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, three of which provide unobstructed views towards the fells, plus an ensuite master suite with vaulted ceilings. This layout not only supports comfortable living but also offers opportunities for reconfiguration or expansion.
A notable highlight is the side area currently utilized as a garage and storerooms that presents substantial potential for conversion into additional living space or guest accommodation (subject to planning permissions).
Externally, the grounds are diverse—featuring lawns, terraces, and woodlands ideal for wildlife enthusiasts or outdoor activities. While enjoying the privacy this large plot affords, you’ll be just under three miles from the vibrant Keswick area with its rich local community, shops, schools, and transport links.
With existing services including mains electricity and an oil central heating system recently updated with new boiler installations in 2022, this property stands ready for thoughtful renovations that can enhance both comfort and value.
