Originally constructed in 1909 as a large elegant private residence including fine architectural period features, the property was subsequently generously extended in later years. It currently operates as a successful award winning eleven bedroom country house hotel which was highly recommended in the 2021 Michelin Guide and is a previous winner of Cumbria Tourism’s Small Hotel of the Year. The sale of the property is due to the current owners’ pending retirement. In November 2023 planning consent was approved to allow subdivision of the main front part of the building to form a five bedroom dwelling house subject to use as a principal private residence together with three rear adjoining self-contained holiday letting properties which jointly provide a total of nine bedrooms. Prospective buyers have the option of either continuing the existing use of the property as a country house hotel or implementing the current planning consent to provide a principal residence for owner occupation and earn considerable rental income from adapting the additional rear accommodation as lucrative holiday letting properties in a prime location where rental demand is typically sustained all year round.Existing Hotel Accommodation Ground Floor: Porch | Hall | Lounge | 2 Dining Rooms | Bar | Kitchen | Preparation Room | Office | WC Facilities | 3 Bedrooms with En-suite Bathrooms or Shower Rooms | 2 Staff Living Rooms / Dining Kitchen | 3 Staff Bedrooms | 2 Shower RoomsFirst Floor: 8 Bedrooms with En-suite Bathrooms or Shower Rooms | 3 Staff Bedrooms | Shower RoomExternally: Total Site Comprising Approximately 2.7 Acres | Beautiful Mature Landscaped Gardens | Extensive Car Park | Woodland | Laundry Room | Garage | StoreProposed Alternative Accommodation Principal House Ground Floor: Porch | Hall | Lounge | Day Room | Dining Room | Study / Library | Dining Kitchen | Scullery | Utility Room | Boot RoomFirst Floor: Bedroom 1 and En-suite Bathroom | Bedroom 2 and En-suite Bathroom | Bedroom 3 and En-suite Bathroom | Bedroom 4 and En-suite Bathroom | Bedroom 5 and En-suite Shower RoomHoliday Rental Property One Ground Floor: Porch | Hall | Utility Room | Bedroom 1 and En-suite Bathroom | Living Room / Dining KitchenFirst Floor: Bedroom 2 and En-suite Bathroom | Bedroom 3 and En-suite Bathroom | Bedroom 4 and En-suite Shower RoomHoliday Rental Property Two Ground Floor: Living Room / Dining Kitchen | Bedroom 1 | Bedroom 2 | Shower RoomHoliday Rental Property Three Ground Floor: Hall | Utility Room | WC | Living Room / Dining KitchenFirst Floor: Bedroom 1 | Bedroom 2 | Bedroom 3 | Shower RoomPlanning Consent In November 2023 planning consent was approved under reference 7/2023/2216 to allow the main front part of the building to form a five bedroom dwelling house subject to use as a principal private residence (disallowing second home and holiday letting use) together with three rear adjoining self-contained holiday letting properties which collectively provide a total of nine bedrooms.Services Mains water and electricity.
