The Details

With seven bedrooms - six of them ensuite - it’s ideally suited to six couples, extended families or groups of friends celebrating a special occasion. Its peaceful, rural setting on the brow of a hill offers breathtaking panoramic views stretching across open countryside to the coast and the distant Lake District fells.
This detached property combines traditional charm with modern luxury, creating a warm and welcoming space for guests to relax and reconnect. The heart of the home is the grand conservatory lounge, where towering windows flood the room with light and frame sweeping views. An ornate fireplace set within a striking stone wall, paired with deep, comfy sofas, makes it the perfect place to gather by the fire, day or night. For more casual moments, the main living room is also nice and cosy with a smart TV for movie nights.
