Own a thriving B&B and family residence in the Lake District

The sprawling eight-bedroomed property, currently operating as a successful business and family residence, is nestled amidst 'stunning' northern Lake District scenery.

Its 'well-established' lush gardens and an advantageous position ensuring 'spectacular' mountain views complete the picturesque setting.

The property presents itself as a house of two halves.

As a family residence, it offers three private double bedrooms, including a master bedroom boasting a 'large' en-suite bathroom.

Accompanying this is a guest house suite, complete with five, en-suite double/twin guest rooms served by a separate staircase.

Entering the 'impressive, spacious' lobby, you're led to the left to a large family sitting room.

Complete with a log burner and an orangery accessible by large French doors, this room is described as the 'heart of the home'.

A secluded courtyard patio and the view of vast gardens can be seen from the rear.

Ascend the stairs and the property reveals a private landing boasting a broad picture window, offering panoramic views of Skiddaw and Latrigg fells.

Off the landing, there are three large double bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate WC.

Leading from the entrance hall is a large country kitchen diner furnished with an oak-topped island and modern appliances.

Tired travellers will appreciate the lounge's comforting warmth from its fuel effect fire.

Towards the rear of the building is a lobby area, providing access to an additional ground floor double/twin room with a large en-suite.

Ascending the stairs, guests will discover another three 'immaculate' bedrooms, each equipped with their own ensuite rainfall showers, usb charging points and views of either the mountains or gardens.

A large private terrace overlooking the 'delightful' garden also extends from the first floor hallway.

This serves as the 'perfect' spot for alfresco dining or to enjoy wildlife such as the occasional red squirrel.

The property's appeal extends to a broad spectrum of prospective buyers, from those interested in pursuing a hospitality venture to others seeking a sizeable family residence or looking for accommodation for dependent relatives.
