A stunning and well-known manor house near the Lake District is on sale for over £2million.
Tallentire Hall, in the titular village near Cockermouth, is a Grade II listed Victorian property set on 11 acres of rural grounds.
Its main tower dates back to 1290, the south wing was constructed at around 1590, and the main building was completed in 1863, showcasing the property’s appeal to those who want their home to be a journey through time.
Approaching Tallentire Hall, you pass through formidable stone pillars and follow the driveway through lush woodlands.
The driveway leads to a spacious turning circle and parking area with views of the garden, croquet lawn, surrounding fields, and the Solway Firth stretching across to Dumfries and Galloway.
The grand entrance hall is adorned with a striking fireplace, ornate ceilings, and an intricate parquet floor.
A baby grand piano adds a touch of sophistication to this magnificent space, and the main hallway has its original mosaic tile floors and archways.
The living room, accessible via two entrances, has solid wood flooring and a log-burning stove with a decorative surround.
The study features curved walls and a fireplace, while the formal living room is lavishly decorated and offers views of the main lawn.
The dining space is perfect for hosting grand dinners, comfortably accommodating multiple tables.
The rear of the property houses several practical rooms, including a laundry room, storage room, gym, and a downstairs WC.
The property features eleven double bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and a mix of family bathrooms and ensuites.
Renovations by the current owners since 2016 have been carried out with quality craftsmanship and a sympathetic approach.
The south wing of Tallentire Hall includes The Gardner's Cottage and The Gamekeeper's Cottage, built circa 1590 and beautifully decorated.
The Hayloft, constructed in 1863, offers an outdoor seating area and a private garden.
These properties are currently run as a holiday let business, providing a secondary income.
Tallentire Hall also features Victorian stables, a menage, and a two-acre paddock.
