Duddon Gardens, Duddon Bridge, LA20 6EU

Property Description Duddon Gardens is an exceptional mid Victorian detached home, set within the historic Duddon Hall Estate in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Combining timeless period character with modern comforts, it offers a lifestyle defined by tranquillity, space, and understated elegance.

Set within grounds of approximately 0.54 acres (STS), the property enjoys beautifully landscaped gardens with sweeping lawns, a large patio, and meandering pathways, creating a private and versatile outdoor retreat.

Accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to balance relaxed family living with refined entertaining. A welcoming porch leads into the entrance hall, with the living room to the right, seamlessly connecting to a formal dining room that enjoys fabulous views over and surrounding fells.

The farmhouse-style kitchen forms the central hub of the home, complete with a charming seating area for morning coffees and a staircase descending directly to the garden. A study area and downstairs WC add flexibility, while a small adjoining hallway gives access to the cellar, which extends across the full footprint of the house.

Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms feature elegant windows, flooding the rooms with natural light and framing picturesque outlooks. A bathroom and separate shower room serve this level. From here, a staircase rises to the spacious attic floor, where two further bedrooms are arranged on either side of a central storage area, offering additional versatility for family, guests, or creative use.

Externally, a double garage provides both convenience and security. The gardens are a true highlight, with colour and interest throughout the seasons. The expansive patio is perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining, while winding trails offer a sense of seclusion. Just a short stroll from the property lies a charming stone bridge across the rapids of the River Duddon-a serene spot to pause and enjoy the natural beauty of this Lakeland setting.

Steeped in heritage, Duddon Gardens forms part of the historic Duddon Hall Estate, a setting rich with Georgian architecture, and an 18th-century iron furnace. Together, this creates an atmosphere of history, prestige, and timeless appeal.

Duddon Gardens is without doubt one of the most desirable homes in the LA20 postcode, an outstanding residence and a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a true Lake District gem. Private accompanied viewings are strongly recommended to fully appreciate the elegance, setting, and lifestyle this property offers. 

Location Location is key to the appeal. Duddon Bridge is a highly sought-after corner of the Lake District, combining a peaceful rural lifestyle with walking, hiking, and cycling directly from the doorstep. Local amenities include traditional pubs and a village hall, while the nearby market town of Broughton-in-Furness and Millom provide everyday conveniences.
