The breath-taking views and landscaped grounds offer the perfect sanctuary to both enjoy and watch wildlife thrive. With its backdrop of the Wasdale Valley, looking out to Great Gable and Scafell this home really does offer an escape from the ordinary.

Outside, the gardens and grounds extend to 7.92 acres and offer an ideal sanctuary which has been designed with the surrounding eco-system and serves as an excellent haven for wildlife, attracting deer, birds and other creatures. Immediately surrounding the house is 2.5 acres of formal gardens and grounds with 4.87 acres beyond.

Santon Lodge was acquired by the same family a number of years ago, being the neighbouring property and offers an excellent opportunity to have control over not only the outlook to the side but also the adjoining neighbouring use. The lodge offers an excellent detached home which enjoys its own separate access.

The accomodation offers 2 reception rooms and 3 bedrooms set within a plot of 0.55 acres with a mature setting offering great privacy.

Nestled in a stunning setting this country residence stands as a testament to elegance and refinement which, set upon the 7.92 acres of gardens and grounds, offers not just a home but an entire lifestyle and business opportunity for those who wish to take this small estate to its next level.
