Description
At the heart of the estate stands the Grade I Listed Calgarth Hall, which is architecturally and historically significant. While requiring internal modernisation, the Hall is an impressive building and offers generous family accommodation, including six bedrooms and well-balanced living space.
The interior includes a particularly impressive first floor reception room featuring ornate plaster ceiling detail thought to date back to the late 16th / early 17th century.
An attached tack room, with clear potential for conversion into additional accommodation (subject to any necessary consents), links through to a range of stables arranged around a courtyard.
The estate formerly operated as Briery Close Arabian Stud, at one time supporting up to 80 horses, and retains much of its core infrastructure for continued equestrian use or potential repurposing. The old walled garden now accommodates an outdoor manége/school, however, could be converted back to its former purpose.
The grounds surrounding the Hall include a range of outbuildings, currently used for storage but with the potential for conversion or repurposing (subject to the necessary consents).
The Hall benefits from a direct access and a concrete slipway onto Lake Windermere, with approximately 300 metres of shoreline. Access to Lake Windermere is a rare and highly sought-after feature, with only few being so fortunate to own a piece of this renowned shoreline.
Calgarth Hall Estate occupies a highly desirable position on the shores of Lake Windermere, at the heart of the Lake District National Park. The Lake District is one of England’s most distinctive and historic landscapes, designated as a UNESCO world heritage site, characterised by rugged fells, ancient woodland, and dramatic glacial valleys and lakes. The estate offers a rare combination of accessibility and seclusion, enjoying a strong sense of rural privacy amid some of the nation’s most celebrated scenery.
The nearby village of Troutbeck Bridge provides everyday amenities including local shops and traditional public houses, while the larger town of Windermere offers a wider range of facilities. These include a selection of shops, cafés and restaurants, together with a selection of wellregarded primary and secondary schools. Notable schools in the area include Windermere School, Sedbergh School and St Bees School, all of which have excellent reputations.
The surrounding countryside is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and offers exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation. Lake Windermere offers opportunities for sailing and water sports, while the wider area is well suited to walking, riding and cycling.
Despite its peaceful and secluded setting, Calgarth Hall Estate remains well connected. Windermere railway station connects to Oxenholme Lake District station, from which direct mainline services run to London Euston in approximately 2 hours 40 minutes. Manchester airport is accessible in approximately 90 minutes, and the M6 connects the area both to the north and south.
