Mill Holme House , Bootle, Millom

We are pleased to present this impressive Victorian country residence located on the stunning west coast of the Lake District National Park. Set within mature gardens, woodland and offering plenty of river frontage, with a separate cottage and an extensive range of outbuildings with lots of potential.
Dating from 1892, Mill Holme House is a substantial and characterful family home retaining many original features, including a Spanish mahogany staircase, ornate plasterwork, marble fireplaces, William Morris stained glass and a striking wrought-iron veranda.
The spacious accommodation is arranged over several floors and includes three principal reception rooms, a generous kitchen, utility facilities, multiple bedrooms and a range of versatile rooms suitable for home working, hobbies or additional living space. The property has been carefully maintained, with improvements made to enhance energy efficiency.
Adjoining the main house is Gardener’s Cottage, an attractive historic annexe with open-plan living accommodation, double bedroom and shower/WC, offering excellent potential for guests, extended family or holiday letting.
The 2 acre grounds are a particular highlight, a combination of extensive mature lawned gardens and woodland divided beautifully by walled gardens, established trees and planting. The river running alongside the property provides a beautiful back track to the grounds.
The remarkable collection of outbuildings includes the coach house, stable, games room, summer house, workshop and storage buildings, providing extensive scope for hobbies, storage or further development.
