Currently used as a successful guest house, this three-storey spacious and charming traditional Lakeland stone late 19th Century house offers plenty of possibilities to be turned into a generous family home. Situated in a small square of homes, High Fold House promises serenity and tranquillity, benefitting from incredible 360 degree vistas and beautiful countryside views from every window - a place to escape the day to day grind.

For those wishing to 'get away from it all', yet have everything you need close at hand, then this is the home for you. Benefitting from the best of both worlds, take Bridge Lane, from the A591 up to Holbeck Lane where the house sits, just a 10 minute drive from Windermere.

Pull up and park directly at the home before following the patio round the side of the home, where you will be presented with the most incredible vistas over the garden to the surrounding fells and farmland. Spot the Garburn Trail with Ill Bell, Sour Howes and Sallows towering behind, beckoning you to the fells.

Enter the main door into a light and bright hallway. The original Edwardian tiles of this welcoming home can still be found under the floor covering in the hallway.
What will strike you about the home will be its flexibility, practicality, warmth and spaciousness.

Make your way to the right, into the current dining room to find a room fit for celebrations and large family Christmases. A place where the traditional Edwardian fire can be lit on the lead grate and people can gather round the large central table - cosy yet grand.

Take the door at the end of the corridor into the room on the right - a versatile space, that can be used as a sixth bedroom with a handy en-suite shower room or perhaps a second sitting room where children could play and toys stored in one place.

Across the hall discover a true family hub. Cream farmhouse style upper and lower cabinetry line the walls hiding the fitted dishwasher, fridge and freezer as well as creating ample areas to store pots, pans, tins and packets. The range with seven ring gas burner and four ovens ensure the capability for sumptuous feasts to be cooked and enjoyed around the central table.

Wash dishes beneath the large window that frames the pretty vistas towards Wansfell. Conveniently, a door to the parking on the square, allows for easy unloading of shopping and doffing muddy shoes.

Take morning coffee in the homely light-filled sitting room, just off the kitchen. Double doors overlook the garden, pinching the scenery and creating an ever changing picture to admire at all times. Step out onto the patio, extending the living space and ensuring that this is a room for all seasons.

A home can never have enough storage and High Fold House has it in abundance. Practical and useful, retrace your steps, stopping at the door that takes you down to a most useful utility in the cellar. Not only can the laundry be kept out of sight, but shelves can be stacked with pantry goods, school bags and sporting kits. After a busy day working in the garden or walking on the fells, muddy boots and gardening gloves can be taken off and stored effortlessly.

Return to the main hallway. Light streams in from the large window on the half-landing, flooding the stairs with natural light. The practical and flexible nature of High Fold House continues upstairs with five functional en-suite bedrooms found over two floors. Children can fight over which rooms they want and perhaps the spare rooms could become an office space or gym.

Two spacious doubles can be found on the first floor, each with plenty of room for a double bed and freestanding furniture that will hide all manner of clothes and shoes, as well as boasting en-suite shower rooms.

The master suite, also on the first floor, is a true retreat. Dual aspect windows draw the light and countryside views into the space. Calm and tranquil, an area for reading stands to one side of the room with a bed to the other, naturally divided for resting and sleeping. Even the views from the bathroom window are something of a wow-factor! Fill the bath of the en-suite, and let your troubles drift away.

Ascending the stairs you will find two further bedrooms set into the eaves. Enhanced by the Velux windows, both rooms are light and airy with ample space for a double bed, wardrobe, bedside table and chest of drawers. They also benefit from contemporary en-suite shower rooms complete with WC, vanity unit and basin as well as a heated towel rail. Store suitcases and possessions through the eaves and loft hatches.
Gardens and Grounds
A garden of well-established tiers that allow for a range of activities and pursuits awaits outdoors. Wrapped completely in the Lake District National Park the garden flows together with the fells and fields creating a tranquil outdoor space that can be enjoyed all year round.

The epitome of a peaceful countryside setting, spot the deer in the nearby undergrowth, watch the lambs as they skip through the fields in the spring and marvel at the ever changing scenery come the seasonal transformations - quite a special place to call home.

To the top a paved patio extends around the plot leading directly from the home creating an ideal spot to entertain, to relax and enjoy those summer BBQs. Invite friends over for drinks on the terrace where, under the watchful gaze you can keep an eye on the children exploring the lush green lawn below.

Discover manicured lawns and flower beds filled with bulbs, shrubs and evergreens in the lower two tiers, that seem to flow effortlessly into the surrounding countryside, enhancing the serenity of High Fold House.

There is ample parking for 5 cars as well as handy storage for gardening equipment, bikes and sporting gear in the double garage found in the driveway.
