Description/Location: Hartwell House is an attractive and prominent property within the conservation area of this delightful, historic village, with some impressive, retained period features and high ceilings typical of the era. This fabulous Family home cleverly mixes old charm with modern luxury and is also conveniently placed in a level position close to the amenities; Shops, Public Houses, Village Store, Primary and Secondary Schools etc. This picturesque and highly sought after medieval village is renowned not only for its famous Priory, the Gatehouse and their associated monastic architecture but in more recent times for the famed 'Cartmel Races' Steeplechase meetings, the annual Agricultural Show, 'Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding' and the ''Michelin Star'' 'L'Enclume restaurant.
The village is located just outside the Lake District National Park, in the centre of the Cartmel Peninsula offering a thriving community with both Junior and Secondary schools, shops sufficient for daily needs and a good supply of pubs and eating houses. With easy access to more extensive amenities at Grange-over-Sands (2 miles away), the village is only a few minutes drive off the A590, allowing good access to the National road network. Railway stations at Cark-in-Cartmel and Grange-Over-Sands provide access to the regular services of the West Coast main line.
If travelling from Grange-Over-Sands, turn right at the 'T' Junction and follow the road past the convenience store and Cartmel Primary School and take the next left into Priest Lane. If travelling from the North, take the first right turning into the village with Hartwell House being the second home on the right hand side.
