For an experience beyond compare, gather your loved ones at this expansive country estate, where flawless decor and breathtaking surroundings set the scene for a five-star stay. The estate itself spans 27 acres of woodland and picturesque scenery, with a half-mile stretch of private Ullswater shoreline unlocking endless water sports adventures. Take a stroll to the Ullswater Steamer pier (0.5 miles) to embark on a boat trip to Pooley Bridge (4 miles), Glenridding (6.5 miles), or the dramatic Aira Force waterfall (9 miles). Keen walkers can set off on rewarding climbs to Place Fell (7 miles) and Hallin Fell (1.5 miles), both promising spectacular summit views, while the iconic Helvellyn (6.5 miles) also beckons for more experienced hikers.

Bespoke carpets underfoot, unique artworks on the walls and sophisticated interiors throughout make the luxury here truly unparalleled. On arrival, stop off in the entranceway with fitted benches – ideal for removing muddy boots and coats. From here, step into the lounge, an exceptional space with garden views, ample seating, a wood burner and a Smart TV. A Sonos sound system runs throughout the property, filling every room with sound – perfect for getting everyone moving in the morning. Continue into the sprawling farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, an impressive space with slate flooring and exposed beams. A marble-topped island creates a central hub for family life, while bespoke cabinetry and quality appliances make cooking a delight. The dining table seats 12, with French doors opening onto the patio for summer dining with a view. After dinner, retreat to the cinema room, complete with a state-of-the-art screen, surround sound and plenty of lounging space. A WC opposite adds convenience during screenings. At the far end of the hall, a spa room elevates the sense of indulgence further, featuring a bar area, laconium, and direct access to the ‘Yoga Terrace’. Laid out over two floors, the property boasts six suite-style bedrooms, each with its own en-suite for the ultimate in privacy and comfort. Two rooms feature sumptuous super-king-size beds, three offer elegant king-size beds, and the final bedroom is a stylish double. Each space comes complete with luxury linens, a Smart TV and glorious views.

This gated estate ensures total privacy, peace and seclusion, shared only with one neighbouring holiday home.
