Set within the Lake District National Park, the property enjoys a wonderfully private position surrounded by countryside, with views towards the lake and surrounding fells. Belle Grove has been in the same family ownership since the 1960s and has all the character of a traditional Lakeland retreat, with exposed stone, attractive gardens and a setting that feels both secluded and connected to the landscape.

The principal house provides comfortable four-bedroom accommodation. The ground floor includes a welcoming sitting room with exposed beams and an open stone fireplace, a separate dining room, breakfast room and kitchen, together with a family bathroom and internal access to the garage. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including three generous doubles and a smaller fourth bedroom or study, alongside a family bathroom.

Attached to the main house is Spring Grove, a self-contained two-bedroom cottage currently used as successful holiday accommodation. With its own entrance and parking, it offers considerable flexibility. It could continue to generate income, provide independent accommodation for extended family or, subject to any necessary consents, be incorporated into Belle Grove to create one substantial family home.

Spring Grove includes a characterful sitting room with exposed brickwork, beams and a wood-burning stove, together with a kitchen/dining room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.

The outbuildings provide another important part of the offering. The traditional Cow Byre has planning consent for conversion to a one-bedroom cottage, creating further potential for guest accommodation, holiday letting or ancillary use. A second large barn provides excellent storage and could lend itself to garaging, workshop space or other uses, subject to any necessary consents.

A particularly special feature of this lot is its private strip of Ullswater frontage. Separate from the harbour offered as Lot 3, this gives Belle Grove a direct connection with one of the Lake District's most celebrated lakes and adds significantly to the lifestyle appeal of the property.

The combination of the principal house, independent cottage, outbuildings and lake frontage makes this an unusually versatile proposition. Whether retained as a home with income, adapted for multigenerational living or developed further over time, Belle Grove offers enormous potential in a remarkable setting.

About AshdownJones, The Lakes and Lune Valley

1C Low Cleabarrow Business Centre Windermere Cumbria LA23 3FA

Hey,

Nice to 'meet' you! We're Sam Ashdown and Phil Jones, founders of AshdownJones - a bespoke estate agency specialising in selling unique homes in The Lake District and Lune Valley.

We love a challenge...

Over the last eighteen years we have helped sell over 1000 unique and special homes, all with their very own story to tell, all with their unique challenges.

Our distinctive property marketing services are not right for every home, but those clients we do help consistently sell quicker, and for a higher price.

If you have a unique home in The Lake District or The Dales, lets put some time in the diary to have a chat. Within an hour (or possibly two), you'll have a clear picture of how we could help you sell your home for the price you want, in the timescale you need. You may not be considering selling right now, and that's cool with us, having all the information will help you make the right decisions for you and your families.

After all, the right advice, at the right time, makes all the difference.

Selling property is what most estate agents do; changing people's lives takes longer, but it's what we at AshdownJones do. Moving house will change your life, and we want to be a part of that change, helping you every step of the way.

Let's have a chat over a cup of tea (preferably Yorkshire) and talk about what's best for you.

Sam, Phil and The AJ Team
