Description

Situated in the heart of The Lune Valley, between the villages of Arkholme and Gressingham, Storrs Hall commands a wonderful setting with excellent far reaching views. The surrounding area is characterised by mixed livestock farming, ancient woodland and rolling countryside.

Storrs Hall is located to the southeast of the village of Arkholme, a sought-after and picturesque village in the Lune Valley with a thriving community, reinforced by the school and village hall.

The attractive Cumbrian market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is extremely popular and offers an abundance of independent shops, restaurants and pubs, a post office, bank, a weekly market, a Booths supermarket and Boots Chemist, as well as an opticians, doctor's and dentists' surgeries.

The Georgian city of Lancaster offers a comprehensive selection of facilities, as well as Lancaster University, Lancaster & Morecambe College and the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.

Known as the Gateway to the Lakes, Kendal also offers a wide selection of education, employment and recreational facilities.

The area is renowned for excellent schools including independent schools at Sedbergh (with the Preparatory School at Casterton), Giggleswick and Windermere, as well as Grammar Schools in Lancaster. Primary schools are either at Arkholme or Kirkby Lonsdale.

Historical note

William Storrs gave his name to the property which originally stood on the site in 1242/43. It remained in the Storrs family until 1701 when it passed to Doctor Anthony Askew who had married into the Storrs family. Dr Askew built a medieval house on the site in 1716.

In 1848, Dr Askew's descendant, Henry William Askew, sold the estate to Francis Pearson, a local solicitor in Kirkby Lonsdale (known as the Kirkby Devil) who rebuilt the Grade II Listed hall in its present gothic style.

Built of sandstone with a slate roof in the domestic gothic style, the house has a four storey embaffled tower to the rear with an octagonal corner turret.

The property has the appearance of a much larger house, but provides a manageable home having a very fine suite of principal reception rooms with original period features and
fine views over the Lune Valley and the famous Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks.
