A restored 17th-century farmhouse in the Lake District has been placed on the market for £3,200,000.
Located above Loweswater, Thrushbank boasts stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and extensive frontage onto the lake.
The property dates back to 1697 and has been sensitively modernised while retaining its historic character.
Constructed from rough-rendered stone under a slate roof, it forms a U-shape around a sheltered courtyard.
The property is accessed from a country lane and includes a main house and a detached converted barn, which offers additional accommodation for visitors or potential for holiday lettings.
Inside the main house, the front door opens into a drawing room featuring window seats, a carved oak mantel, and fitted cupboards.
A dining room with a stone-surround fireplace leads outside, and the staircase hall connects to a kitchen equipped with oak units sourced from Tatton Park in Cheshire and granite work surfaces.
The ground floor also includes a study, a sitting room with further oak detailing, a utility room, and a boot room.
A secondary staircase provides access to a guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, while the primary staircase leads to the main bedroom suite, three additional bedrooms, and a family bathroom.
The detached barn includes a family kitchen, two sitting rooms, and two bedrooms with a bathroom on the first floor, while a large storeroom occupies the second floor.
The surrounding gardens are well-maintained and feature terraces, seating areas, a kitchen garden with raised beds, and a Hartley Botanical greenhouse.
Mature trees, lawns, and a variety of shrubs complete the grounds, which extend over 78 acres of grassland and mixed woodland.
The property is approximately nine miles from Cockermouth, which offers a range of independent shops and services, and twelve miles from Keswick.
The larger towns of Penrith and Carlisle, providing access to the national rail network, are also within reach.
Thrushbank offers a tranquil private setting with easy access to local amenities and leisure activities, making it a desirable property for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
