House For Sale £1,500,000
Two attached, and immaculately presented family home and Holiday Cottage offering flexible/adaptable accommodation, plus extensive parking, gardens with possibilities of development (subject to relevant planning) extending approximately 0.5 acres. Delightful, easily accessible location within Keswick, the heart of the Lake District National Park, with far reaching views.
Description
Sandburne House currently utilises 2 bedrooms as an extremely successful vegetarian guest house and Sandburne Cottage is a very popular holiday letting business within Keswick. The former home of Donald Watson, founder of the Vegan Society - has been converted and extended to provide a wonderful home – currently part used as a guest house and part used as a home – and a contemporary styled holiday cottage with plenty of space in which to relax, both inside and out. The properties have been individually designed to the highest specification, with Sandburne having an entrance hall with wood-burning stove and first floor landing affording additional sitting areas, a modern kitchen/breakfast room and well-appointed breakfast room, with its dual aspect windows overlooking the garden and fells beyond. Sandburne Cottage has a lovely living room and conservatory both with stunning views of the North West fells. The accommodation does present the opportunity for an owner to live in part, and to continue with lettings of the remainder, or the property can be used as a full residential house and holiday cottage next door. There is no formal change of use required to have the main house as a private residence. The large gardens and garage with outbuildings may offer development potential for further accommodation subject to necessary consents.
Sandburne is arranged over three floors, with up to four sleeping guests on the first floor in rooms named “Revelin” and “Seat How”, both with en-suite shower rooms, stunning views and access to a bathroom if required. The owners currently occupy the top floor, with en-suite bedroom, living area and second bedroom/linen room. Sandburne Cottage is arranged over two floors and sleeping up to five people with a recently installed ktichen. Outside, each has ample parking and private outdoor garden space. The whole property is set within approximately 0.5 acres of mainly lawn, mature borders and established tree land and has far reaching views.
The property offers considerable flexibility and scope for adaptation to individual requirements.
There is a great deal more to do in the area than just walking; the market town of Keswick offers an excellent range of facilities and attractions, Derwentwater is ideal for water-based activities, and Honister Mine, at the head of the valley, is a popular tourist attraction.
