13 bed property for sale

Windermere, Cumbria LA23

Lot 1 – calgarth hall
At the heart of the estate stands the Grade I Listed Calgarth Hall, which is architecturally and historically significant. While requiring internal modernisation, the Hall is an impressive building and offers generous family accommodation, including six bedrooms and well-balanced living space.
The interior includes a particularly impressive first‐floor reception room featuring ornate plaster ceiling detail thought to date back to the late 16th / early 17th century.
An attached tack room, with clear potential for conversion into additional accommodation (subject to any necessary consents), links through to a range of stables arranged around a courtyard.
The estate formerly operated as Briery Close Arabian Stud, at one time supporting up to 80 horses, and retains much of its core infrastructure for continued equestrian use or potential repurposing. The old walled garden now accommodates an outdoor manége/school, however, could be converted back to its former purpose.
The grounds surrounding the Hall include a range of outbuildings, currently used for storage but with the potential for conversion or repurposing (subject to the necessary consents).
The Hall benefits from a direct access and a concrete slipway onto Lake Windermere, with approximately 300 metres of shoreline. Access to Lake Windermere is a rare and highly sought-after feature, with only few being so fortunate to own a piece of this renowned shoreline.

Lot 2 – middlerigg house
Middlerigg House is a substantial and attractive four-bedroom house in an idyllic position with approximately 20 acres of its own gardens and grounds. The property features many characterful and attractive features including traditional beams and a centrepiece, original fireplace. The house has recently been rewired but would require internal modernisation.
Middlerigg also has a detached two‐storey stone barn, with three-bay garages at ground level and a dovecote above, as well as an attached stable at one end. There is also a small workshop/garden shed positioned to the rear of the barn, all offering potential for development, subject to consents.

Lot 3 – tarn house
Tarn House occupies an exceptionally private and unique setting, sitting on the edge of its own lake, Middlerigg Tarn, and surrounded by approximately 16 acres of land. With direct frontage to the water, the house enjoys a peaceful outlook and a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find in the Lake District.
Constructed in the 1960s/1970s, the three-bedroom Tarn House offers well-balanced accommodation, ideally suited to family living, and also has a double berth boathouse under the building. The property offers significant scope for redevelopment to enhance its position, outlook and setting.

The estate offers a rare combination of accessibility and seclusion, enjoying a strong sense of rural privacy amid some of the nation's most celebrated scenery.
The nearby village of Troutbeck Bridge provides everyday amenities including local shops and traditional public houses, while the larger town of Windermere offers a wider range of facilities.

Notable schools in the area include Windermere School, Sedbergh School and St Bees School, all of which have excellent reputations.
The surrounding countryside is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and offers exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation. Lake Windermere offers opportunities for sailing and water sports, while the wider area is well suited to walking, riding and cycling.
Despite its peaceful and secluded setting, Calgarth Hall Estate remains well connected.

Manchester airport is accessible in approximately 90 minutes, and the M6 connects the area both to the north and south.
