A newly constructed, bespoke property nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park is now on the market for £2 million.
The Keld, a three-bedroom detached house, is located at the northern head of Coniston Water, within the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The house, which merges modern design with traditional Lakeland architecture, is surrounded by protected ancient woodland and offers stunning views of the Lakeland scenery.
The property is designed to maximise its spectacular setting, with Weru Juliet balconies on the first-floor bedroom windows offering views over the treetops, and large triple-glazed windows throughout the home allowing for plenty of natural light and framing stunning views of Grizedale Forest.
During the winter months, when the trees are not in leaf, Coniston Water can be seen glistening below.
The Old Man of Coniston, Wetherlam, Holme Fell, and the lake can all be viewed from the rear grounds.
Inside, the home continues to impress with its Scandinavian-inspired decor, featuring expansive vaulted ceilings anchored by Douglas fir beams and a full-height Lakeland green slate fireplace with a Hwam woodburner at the heart of the living room.
The bespoke oak kitchen, crafted by Rusland Movement, is practical and stylish with Dekton surfaces, a Puxa Bora XHob with integrated ventilation, and Siemens IQ700 appliances.
A well-appointed utility room also accompanies the kitchen, featuring Rusland Movement fitted furniture.
At the sub-level, a basement accommodates a plant room and additional utility.
Sustainability was a central tenet in the property's design, incorporating energy-efficient systems including underfloor heating throughout, PV battery storage, electric car charging, triple-glazed windows, and futureproofing for heat pump installation.
The layout of The Keld has been thoughtfully designed with fluid, open-plan living spaces.
The ground floor encompasses a spacious living room, an adjacent snug, and a dining area that flows into the kitchen.
Large doors open onto the terrace, creating a natural extension of the living space, perfect for alfresco dining or simply soaking in the serene views.
The bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully appointed with bespoke furniture and high-end finishes.
All en-suite bathrooms have been fitted by Signature of Kendal, featuring walk-in showers.
The principal bedroom and hallway feature fixed oak and walnut furniture, also crafted by the Rusland Movement, with bespoke shelving and storage that blend neatly with the home's aesthetic.
The Keld benefits from a large south-facing terrace, bathed in sun and perfect for alfresco dining or enjoying the views over Grizedale Forest’s treetops.
The property also includes 3.22 acres of beautiful ancient woodland, split into two distinct sections.
The northern section, comprising 2.14 acres, benefits from a lease with the National Trust, while the 1.08-acre section to the southwest is freehold but is subject to a lease to the National Trust.
The woodland borders the rear garden and provides direct access to National Trust land and Tarn Hows with a myriad of further trail walks and fells to choose from.
The picturesque village of Coniston provides a range of essential amenities including village stores, charming cafes, traditional pubs, and local businesses that cater to the community.
The area also boasts a selection of outdoor and leisure activities, particularly with its proximity to Coniston Water and the surrounding fells, making it ideal for hiking, paddle boarding, wild swimming, sailing, and other outdoor pursuits.
