5 bedroom house

Nestled in a bowl of the Lake District Fells above Ullswater, enjoying spectacular views, at the end of a no through road, a fabulous opportunity to acquire a traditional farmhouse, with attached converted barn, split into a main residence with successful holiday rental unit, along with 19 acres of amenity woodlands.

Positioned in this quiet and tranquil section of the Lake District National Park, yet easily accessible to Penrith and Keswick, surrounded by the fells of Watermillock Common and Dowthwaite Head, Crookwath Barn is an outstanding chance to take ownership of a well-presented detached residence comprising a 3-bedroom holiday rental unit, with an attached 2 bedroom owners residence.

The main portion of the house, which has previously also been used as a rental unit, currently is occupied by our clients and is a most appealing home, the exterior having retained the full character of the stonework, whilst the interior is architecturally designed with generously proportioned open plan living space over two levels, with an additional garden room having open south west facing views. Having an element of reverse accommodation, the main bedroom and bathroom is to the lower level, and additional bedroom, with ensuite facilities, is built into the roof space.

Adjacent the holiday unit, which has a secure connecting door between, follows a more traditional layout with a sitting dining room, with an original range fireplace, and a spacious kitchen dining room. To the first floor are 3 double bedrooms, the master having ensuite facilities, and a family bathroom.

Sat in gently sloping grounds, with woodland to the upper area and mature and well stocked gardens below, there is an additional detached studio, also with wood burning stove, currently used as an artist’s studio, and with excellent potential for use as an additional rental unit, subject to the necessary permissions.

Currently run to a level to suit our client’s needs, the property generates an income circa £34,000 PA, and is offered to include the forward bookings, many of which are repeat clients, the majority of the furnishings and the transfer of the websites for both properties, www.crookwathcottage.co.uk and www.crookwathbarn.co.uk.

The sale also includes Lucy's Wood, which is approximately 5 minutes’ walk away following a rarely used public footpath. Covering 19 acres, the previously open fell land was planted approximately 25 years ago with a varied mixture of native trees and has created a wonderfully peaceful setting, which has been carefully managed by our clients and now boasts a wide selection of different environments which has allowed many rare plant, animal and insect species to colonise. An open water area has been created and this sits just below a restored traditional fell barn, ideal for family use or entertaining. The Aira Beck runs along the bottom of the site before flowing to the famous Aira Force waterfall and Ullswater.

Sure to attract great interest, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
