We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Step into a world of timeless elegance and grandeur with this exceptional Grade II listed Georgian country house, set within the breathtaking Lake District National Park on the tranquil edge of the village of Gosforth.
Originally built in the 19th century for an Admiral, this imposing residence is a rare opportunity to acquire a slice of English heritage, thoughtfully preserved and enhanced for modern living.
Spanning three impressive floors, the house offers fourteen bedrooms, nine of which are en-suite, including three self-contained apartments that provide excellent flexibility - ideal for extended family, guests, or as lucrative holiday lets.
The grand entrance hallway, with its soaring ceilings and original architectural features, sets the tone for the rest of the property.
Four splendid reception rooms await, each with its own unique character. The drawing room, accessed through elegant double doors, invites you to unwind by the fireplace in refined comfort.
The billiard room, stretching over thirty feet, captivates with its rich wood panelling and original parquet flooring, while the third reception room, with a wood-burning stove and garden views, flows seamlessly into a fourth space filled with light from dual-aspect windows and graced by another striking fireplace.
The spacious kitchen, complete with an aga, opens onto a welcoming dining area, perfect for entertaining on any scale.
The magnificent wide staircase with its original iron railing and domed ceiling creates a truly unforgettable centrepiece whilst you ascend to the first floor.
The property’s versatility is further enhanced by a substantial basement featuring eleven rooms, offering abundant storage and untapped potential for further development.
With multiple rooms and apartments currently let and generating up to £70,000 per annum, this home not only offers grandeur and comfort but also presents an attractive income stream, with scope to expand further into the short-term holiday market.
The grounds surrounding this remarkable residence are equally impressive, extending to approximately six acres and providing a haven of peace, privacy, and natural beauty.
Mature trees border the estate, offering dappled shade and a vibrant display of colour throughout the seasons, while well-maintained lawns stretch out, perfect for family gatherings, garden parties, or simply enjoying the serenity of your own private parkland.
The expansive driveway at the front not only adds to the sense of arrival but also ensures plenty of space for guests and residents alike.
Scattered across the grounds are a number of charming old buildings, each with their own character and potential for creative use.
The garden is a sanctuary for wildlife, attracting a variety of birds throughout the year. A double garage with additional store rooms provides parking or easily accessible storage.
