About
Occupying a superb elevated location, with far reaching views across the Bassenthwaite valley towards Skiddaw & the Eastern Fells, an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Victorion period residence, with 4 reception rooms & 4 bedrooms, sat in a generous plot in all circa 2.26 acres Offered for sale with no onward chain, Thwaite Hill is a truly rare opportunity to acquire a handsome Victorian family residence occupying approximately 2.26 acres of private grounds in the highly desirable village of Thornthwaite, beneath the dramatic fells of Seat How and adjoining the beautiful Whinlatter Forest Park.
Enjoying an elevated position and approached via a private driveway, the property commands a wonderful sense of arrival.
Formal gardens surround the house, beautifully stocked with mature specimen trees and shrubs, while the remainder of the grounds comprise established woodland, creating an exceptional degree of privacy, tranquillity and natural beauty.
Lovingly maintained over the years, the property is presented in good order throughout.
While certain elements would now benefit from updating and modernisation, this has been thoughtfully reflected in the asking price, presenting an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to enhance and personalise a home of considerable character and distinction.
The accommodation is both generous and versatile. Entered via a central entrance hall, to the front are elegant sitting and living rooms, complemented by a separate snug/study.
Further ground-floor accommodation includes a cloakroom/WC, breakfast dining room with traditional AGA range, scullery kitchen, and a practical boot room with adjoining utility room.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, together with a bathroom and separate WC.
Substantial Victorian homes of this calibre, occupying such attractive grounds and enjoying such a sought-after Lake District setting, are seldom available.
Viewing is therefore highly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle opportunity and potential that Thwaite Hill affords.
