Location
Set in a quiet part of the Lake District National Park, in the heart of the Ullswater Valley, between Pooley Bridge and Glenridding, Horrockwood is a great opportunity to acquire ownership of a wonderful, traditional, 5 bedroomed Lakeland house found in excellent order with barns & grounds extending to approximately 3.5 acres.

Part of the historic former Leeming House Estate, Horrockwood is a charming and appealing substantial Lakeland property in the always sought after Ullswater Valley.

Having been cherished by the present owners for nearly 30 years, the property has undergone a gradual process of restoration and retains many original features which provide great character.

The house sits centrally in wonderful grounds, with a gravel driveway leading to a carriage turning circle to the front, whilst to the rear there is a cobbled yard and a number of stores and outbuildings, along with a detached former cottage. Currently used as a workshop, the cottage has great potential, subject to necessary permissions, for renovation to create a most useful dependant relative annexe, guest accommodation or holiday let.

The house is surrounded by well maintained, mature gardens, well stocked with a range of established beds and borders, along with a small woodland area and an orchard in which sits a substantial, detached barn. Ideal for a host of activities, also with potential for conversion with stables at lower level which may be of interest to an equestrian family.

Offered with no ongoing chain, viewing is strictly by appointment through our Penrith office.
