Troutbeck Bridge, Windermere, Cumbria

A beautifully situated estate in a highly sought-after area of the Lake District. The Grade I listed Calgarth Hall occupies a gently elevated position overlooking its own land and the surrounding countryside. The estate offers a rare combination of an impressive principal house, substantial secondary dwellings, equestrian facilities, 298 acres (120.6ha) of land and woodland and 900 m of frontage onto Lake Windermere.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 manège/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 direct access to 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.
