Patterdale, Penrith, CA11

This charming, period property embodies the rich historical allure of the region. Approached via a sweeping driveway, this detached Lakeland house is nestled within approximately one acre (0.40 ha) of grounds, framed by mature trees that provide both privacy and the feeling of a secluded retreat.  Located near the shores of Ullswater, in the heart of the Lake District National Park, it offers a rare opportunity to experience both tranquility and natural beauty.

Surrounded by iconic mountain peaks and ridges which include Helvellyn, Place Fell, and St. Sunday Crag, the area around Middleton Place is a paradise for walkers. With routes ranging from gentle lakeside strolls to more challenging ridge walks, there is something for every level of outdoor enthusiast.

The nearby Ullswater, the second largest 'Water' in the Lake District, offers a wealth of activities and experiences, from boating to hiking, showcasing the lake’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.

The property does require refurbishment, and as such, we are inviting cash buyers to contact us for further details and to arrange viewings.

Middleton house is located approximately 9 miles from Pooley Bridge and 1 mile from Glenridding. Situated within the Lake District National Park - well placed for access to the Northern Fells and the main tourist centres of Windermere and Keswick. There are many recreational opportunities within immediate reach, including fell walking, boating and sailing. For those wishing to commute the M6 (junction 40) is easily accessible at Penrith (approx. 14 miles) where there is also an excellent range of local amenities - primary and secondary schools, varied shops, supermarkets, banks, castle and park and an excellent choice of sports/leisure facilities. There is also a main line railway station in Penrith and London can be accessed in less than four hours.

Mains electricity and water supply; septic tank drainage (we understand the septic tank is located in the grounds of the property); oil central heating. Please note: The mention of any appliances/services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.

From the M6 at Junction 39, follow the A66 west towards Keswick then, at the first roundabout, exit second left on to the A592 heading for Ullswater and Pooley Bridge. Upon reaching the lake at Pooley Bridge, continue to the right on the A592 and proceed along this road, through Glenridding and continuing into Patterdale.  Pass the Patterdale Hotel to your right, then the White Lion Inn on your left, and immediately before the road bends to the right, turn off to the right up a driveway to the gated entrance for Middleton Place.  Please approach slowly and with care as the turn off to the right is just before the bend and traffic is coming in both directions.
