6 bedroom house for sale

A small estate including a magnificent Victorian mansion and four other houses on the western shore of Derwentwater, in a glorious position surrounded by some of the best-loved Lakeland Fells.

Principal house with stunning main reception rooms and six bedrooms, four letting apartments, fine second house with extensive grounds and lake frontage, lodge house, gamekeepers house, bungalow with redevelopment potential, formal gardens, parkland mature woodland and long lake frontage.

In all about 34.46 acres (13.94 hectares)

Lingholm lies in the heart of the northern Lake District, in a dramatic location with the Lakeland Fells of Skiddaw to the north, Castlerigg and High Seat to the east and the Newlands Round to the south and west, taking in Cat Bells, Maiden Moor, High Spy and Causey Pike, surrounding this most beautiful lakeland valley. One of a small number of houses on Derwentwaters western shore, Lingholm has a long lake frontage of about 550 yards, including a slipway and original timber boat house, and includes two small islands just off the shore.

Lingholm offers extensive accommodation with grand main reception rooms, all facing the formal gardens and lake on the east side. Four independent apartments have been created within the main house, operated as a successful holiday letting business, but these could simply be re-incorporated into the principal house, if required. Within the grounds are four further houses, all of which are available to be bought by the purchaser of Lingholm, giving the opportunity to assemble a compact rural estate in this truly stunning location.

Along with its current use as a family house, Lingholm offers potential for a number of commercial uses, including an intensification of the holiday lettings business, or as a prestigious hotel in this historic, perfectly-located property. The estate is easily reached from the M6 at Penrith (about 20 miles), from where there are regular trains to London and Glasgow, with London Euston taking 3 hours at best. Keswick, about 3 miles away on the northern shore of the lake, is an extremely popular tourist destination and provides a wide range of shops, restaurants and hotels.

THE MAIN HOUSE IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE SEPARATELY WITH 23 ACRES AT A GUIDE PRICE OF £3,500,000.
