1 Hilltop, Old Hall Road, Troutbeck Bridge, LA23 1JA

Hill Top is a fine example of a true Lakeland country residence, now divided up into three dwellings, originally built by the renowned local builders G.H. Pattinson. Dating back to the early 1900’s, 1 Hill Top forms the prominent part of the residence, providing fantastic accommodation of three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms, breakfast kitchen with utility room and attic space with potential conversion. The property is set in around 1 acre of manageable grounds and enjoys a fantastic location in a prestigious private address, on the edge of Windermere. The original Pattinson Lakeland stone built property was constructed around 1924, and has an originally designed Thomas Mawson garden with terracing and natural gardens surrounding the house, providing lovely areas from which to enjoy the beautiful scenery. 

The ground floor enjoys attractive garden views and a glimpse of the lake through the trees whilst the first floor benefits from attractive seasonal Lake and Fell views. The generously proportioned accommodation is set out over two floors with the south facing aspect enhancing the light and airy atmosphere, further assisted by high ceilings. 1 Hill Top has retained many original features and has recently benefitted from some renovation including the addition of a new kitchen, new bathroom and central heating. The property has been partly decorated and still has plenty of scope to further modernise offering a very well presented and desirable home which will attract a range of buyers including families, couples who enjoy entertaining and those looking for a second home in the heart of the Lake District.

Nestled close the eastern shores of Lake Windermere down a peaceful private lane. 1 Hill Top is a 20 minute stroll from Windermere village with its wide range of amenities, shops, cafes, restaurants and a choice of both private and state schools close by.
