Location/Description: Dating back to the late 1700's, Summer Hill House is a beautiful, Grade II listed country residence of classic Georgian design. Owned by the same family for over 200 years, now sympathetically and imaginatively converted into 5 uniquely designed, spacious, luxury apartments. Retaining the elegance and charm of the Georgian period with high ceilings and large sash windows, these bright and sunny apartments ooze a sense of grandeur and benefit from high quality modern fittings including Italian kitchen and German designed sanitary ware.
This delightful, two bedroom apartment also boasts a wonderful covered verandah which commands idyllic views over the beautifully, landscaped, communal gardens and ornamental fountain.
Enjoying a peaceful rural setting on the southern borders of the Lake District National Park, Spark Bridge is conveniently situated for easy access to the main road network and is only 5 miles from the shores of Coniston Water. To reach the property from Newby Bridge, follow the signs to Barrow-in-Furness turning right at the Greenodd roundabout towards Coniston. (A5092) Follow this main road for approximately 1 mile passing a turning for Spark Bridge on the right. Take the next left turn (approximately 120 yards further on) and travel up the hill for 0.2 of a mile. The impressive, gated driveway for Summer Hill House can be found on the right. Follow the driveway to the top and round to the private parking area to the right.
