A truly unique character property with four acres of adjoining woodland, and a fascinating history, set on the edge of Holmrook village in the Western Lake District National Park. Presented for sale with no onward chain, Holmrook Hall boasts an idyllic setting being located only a short drive to the picturesque Wasdale and Eskdale valleys yet conveniently situated just off the main A595 trunk road, allowing for easy commute to and from neighbouring towns and employment centres.
The property is set in the grounds of the former Holmrook Hall after which it is named. Requisitioned by the Admiralty on behalf of the Royal Navy during World War II, the former Hall later became a bomb and munitions training school between 1943 and 1946, under the title HMS Volcano. The two sandstone pillared entrances can still be seen and are included in this sale along with approx. four acres (1.62 ha.) of mature woodland which runs down to the River Irt.
Although the property would now benefit from refurbishment it offers incredible scope to create a lovely family home in beautiful surroundings and could also be used as a second/holiday home. Accommodation, in brief, comprises large living room/dining area and dining kitchen to the ground floor with three, well appointed, double bedrooms positioned on the first floor together with a family bathroom.
Externally, there is a courtyard area to the front of the property. To the side is an adjoining garage/workshop and car port, with a substantial garden positioned to the rear. The four acres of adjoining woodland lie to the side and rear of the house.
Opportunities of this nature in the Lake District National Park are rare, with Holmrook Hall offering significant scope to improve and add value. Viewing is essential.
The linear village of Holmrook is located on the western fringe of the Lake District National Park, a short drive to the coast at Drigg and Seascale and the beautiful valleys of Eskdale and Wasdale; the latter being home to England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, and deepest lake, Wastwater. Its position on the main A595 trunk road allows for easy commute to the towns of Egremont and Whitehaven, both offering a wide range of amenities including schools, shops and leisure facilites. Located to the south side of Sellafield and enjoying excellent rail links at nearby Drigg and Seascale.
Mains electricity & water. Septic tank drainage (shared with neighbouring properties). Electric night storage heaters installed. Double glazing installed. Please note - the mention of any appliances and/or services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.
