4 bedroom detached house for sale

A superb substantial detached four bedroom house occupying an outstanding approximately 0.3 acre site in an exclusive tranquil rural setting at the periphery of Pooley Bridge by the majestic fells and north eastern shore of Ullswater.

Originally part of the historic Eusemere Estate, Herdwick House was expertly converted in 2019 from an eighteenth century stone built stable to produce an impressive single house finished to an exceptionally high specification and providing an immaculate standard of luxuriously appointed contemporary style accommodation totalling approximately 2,600 square feet.

Situated within the Lake District National Park voted a UNESCO World Heritage site and nestling on the northern shores of Ullswater surrounded by the iconic fells, Pooley Bridge is conveniently located approximately 6 miles south west of Penrith and junction 40 of the M6, 15 miles from Keswick and 24 miles from Ambleside. Access to the Lake shore is only a short walk away.

The famous picturesque village provides a range of amenities including a church, convenience store, book shop and post office, cafes, public houses, guest houses, restaurants and three hotels. The area is surrounded by breathtaking countryside with excellent local walks, cycle routes, pony rides from the local trekking centre and water sports available on Ullswater in addition to the iconic steamer cruises.

There is a regular bus service to the popular market town of Penrith which provides a wider range of amenities including a West Coast mainline railway station, primary and secondary schools, supermarkets and a variety of locally owned and national high street shops. Recreational facilities include a leisure centre with swimming pool, golf, rugby and cricket clubs. The nearby acclaimed Rheged Centre at Stainton provides a mixture of art, food, shopping and entertainment facilities including a cinema.
