Originally constructed in 1909 as a large elegant private residence including fine architectural period features, the property was subsequently generously extended in later years. It currently operates as a successful award winning eleven bedroom country house hotel which was highly recommended in the 2021 Michelin Guide and is a previous winner of Cumbria Tourism's Small Hotel of the Year. The sale of the property is due to the current owners' pending retirement.
In November 2023 planning consent was approved to allow subdivision of the main front part of the building to form a five bedroom dwelling house subject to use as a principal private residence together with three rear adjoining self-contained holiday letting properties which jointly provide a total of nine bedrooms.
Prospective buyers have the option of either continuing the existing use of the property as a country house hotel or implementing the current planning consent to provide a principal residence for owner occupation and earn considerable rental income from adapting the additional rear accommodation as lucrative holiday letting properties in a prime location where rental demand is typically sustained all year round.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
