The Property
Scenery Hill House is a striking and attractive Georgian period property set in beautiful landscaped gardens on the edge of the Lake District National Park. The elevated position brings glorious views across the gardens to magical Lakeland Fells beyond. The property is perfectly located to make the most of stunning local scenery, within walking distance of a local pub and with a host of amenities within easy reach. The property also benefits from a wonderful annexe within the gardens, known as The Coach House, which offers a wealth of opportunities. This can provide independent accommodation for a family member or guests, with living space, bedroom, shower room and kitchen facilities. It could also be used as a holiday property for interested parties looking for their own lifestyle and business opportunity in a popular yet tranquil location.
Scenery Hill House
The accommodation in the main house is laid out across three floors. The property has been renovated to an exceptional standard, with every detail carefully considered to create a welcoming atmosphere amongst gorgeous original features. The grand entrance opens to a vestibule and onwards to the central hall of the ground floor. There are three principal reception rooms, all generous yet with a cosy and relaxing feeling. The spacious living room is to the front elevation, whilst the sitting room to the rear is currently used by the vendor as a large design studio. This was originally the dining room and still retains the original oak flooring and plate rack that wraps around the walls. The current dining room has a comfortable seating area along with plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, all bathed in natural light from surrounding windows. In addition to these three rooms, there is also a lovely sun room that overlooks the peaceful gardens. This is accessed via the kitchen with a fine range of sleek modern cabinetry, breakfast bar and appliances.
The lower ground floor has a large utility room with additional storage, space for white goods and external access. There is a generous double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Adjacent to the bedroom is a large walk-in wardrobe and the lower ground floor is completed by a practical store room.
There are four bedrooms positioned on the first floor with varying aspects that take in panoramic views. All are finished to the same impressive standard throughout the property. The principal bedroom features a gorgeous en-suite bathroom with an elegant period suite. A freestanding clawfoot bath is complemented by a separate shower, wash hand basin set upon a vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail. The other three double bedrooms are furnished with en-suite shower rooms, and there is also a separate WC located off the first floor landing.
The Coach House – Annexe
Nestled within the landscaped gardens is The Coach House offering wonderful private accommodation for family, friends or other visitors. The Coach House could provide an additional income stream as an Airbnb getaway, with well-presented accommodation finished with the same care and style as the main house. The annexe incorporates an open plan sitting room and bedroom area with a mezzanine above; the ideal spot to slip away with a good book. A kitchen area and shower room ensure independence from Scenery Hill House.
Externally
Scenery Hill House is approached via a pillared gateway onto an expansive gravelled driveway and parking area with ample space for numerous vehicles. There is an ev charging point for modern convenience. Mature trees provide shelter and privacy across all of the gardens and grounds which are illuminated by subtle lighting. Formal gardens and manicured lawns stretch away from the house, with a fabulous Scandinavian barbecue hut hidden away for the ultimate in luxury at all times of the year. There is also a separate garden office/studio, along with stores and sheds for outdoor equipment. Patio seating areas wrap around the rear of the house for al fresco dining and entertaining, whilst The Coach House has its own private patio. In all the property extends to around 0.65 acres.
