In a private and rural location, this magnificent 16th century Lakeland hall
sits in a generous plot of around 3. 5 acres and enjoy fabulous views across
its own land and grounds. It is a superb opportunity for a buyer looking for a
substantial family home with a country lifestyle and fantastic grounds in the
Lake District National Park. At the heart of the plot is a large, beautifully
restored 16th Century Grade II Listed Hall which combines a fabulous mix of
modern styling and original period features, steeped in history. With the
benefit of an adjacent first floor barn with vaulted ceiling and bank barn
style doorway and a large Old Dairy, there are a host of flexible options of
the use of these incredible and extensive spaces.
This ancient Lakeland Hall is believed to date back to the 16th century and
retains many charming and original features including exposed beams, stone
flagged floors, original studded doorways, leaded windows, wooden shutters,
ornate fire surrounds and many more period features. It is in immaculate order
and has been maintained to an exacting standard with high quality finishes and
stylish decor. Each window throughout the property is blessed with wonderful
views across its beautiful grounds to the rear and to the courtyard to the
front!
Internally the accommodation is arranged over two floors centred around two
stunning staircases including a circular stone staircase. There are three
characterful reception rooms, one with an impressive mezzanine level
snug/library, a large bespoke fitted kitchen/family room with aga five/six
bedrooms, utility room, boot room and access into the adjacent barn, which has
a host of flexible options. There is no shortage of storage and additional
flexible use spaces.
Externally, approached by a sweeping, tree - lined driveway, this is a generous
plot, extending to around 3. 5 acres, mostly used as paddocks for livestock but
with an ample parking area, elevated terraces and patios areas, lawned garden
to the rear and side and a recently added oak framed, three bay car port with
Westmorland slate roof.
The land is currently used for livestock but could be used as an extension of
the garden, as a smallholding or ideal for those with an equestrian interest.
The barns offer further room for growth with the benefit of an adjoining
partially converted barn and some stone outbuildings giving the potential for
an amazing work/live environment. Subject to planning, these could perhaps be
ancillary/holiday accommodation or even as an extension of the main home, all
sitting around a central courtyard.
Located a short drive from the highly desirable villages of Askham, Bampton
and Shap and their local amenities, shops, doctor’s surgery, primary school,
swimming pool and pubs and excellent transport links. The M6 Junction 39 is
only a short distance and the market town of Penrith is approx. 10 miles.
This magnificent property is unlikely to remain on the market for any long
period of time and a viewing highly recommended.
