Overview
Property code: 91217

Steeped in history, this sprawling abode offers a secluded country escape surrounded by mature trees and boasting far-reaching views across Alston and Cumbrian countryside. With room to host a whopping 22 people (and four dogs) across 11 bedrooms, this striking property is a wonderful base for large multigenerational family gatherings or a celebratory retreat. Intrigued amateurs and seasoned outdoor enthusiasts alike are sure to delight in a scenic SUP session across the rippling shores of Ullswater Lake (27 miles). Nominate a resident bartender then refresh with a crisp post-adventure tipple in your very own private pub.

Dating back to the 17th century, this historic hideaway retains much of its original character and charm. Picture large bay windows, stone-clad fireplaces, warm earthy tones, and an abundance of inviting social spaces. Stepping inside, you are met with an impressive stone staircase opening into the rest of the property. Descend the stairs to arrive at the quirky pub and lounge. Gear up for a pre-dinner drinks reception, adorn the walls with celebratory decorations, or host a games night for your nearest and dearest. For a more formal affair, congregate in the elegant dining room and feast beneath the sparkling glass chandelier. Foodies of the group can arrange a selection of charcuterie boards or rustle up desserts in the commercial-style kitchen. Retire upstairs to the cosiness of the sitting room. Tend to the crackling open fire then sink onto the sofas with a brew. Those in need of some downtime can curl up on the armchair by the bay window and delve back into a book. As night falls, dive into the soft sheets of one of the four en-suite bedrooms located on this floor, each with a TV. Step up to the half-landing to find a king and single with charming, sloped ceilings, or continue to the top floor to access the remaining five en-suite rooms. On balmy mornings, throw open the doors to feast al fresco on the benches on the stretch of lawn. Venture to the nearby shops and restaurants (within 500 metres) or embark on a convoy road trip, with private parking for up to nine cars.
