Detached House
This charming, period property embodies the rich historical allure of the region. Approached via a sweeping driveway, this detached Lakeland house is nestled within approximately one acre (0.40 ha) of grounds, framed by mature trees that provide both privacy and the feeling of a secluded retreat. Located near the shores of Ullswater, in the heart of the Lake District National Park, it offers a rare opportunity to experience both tranquility and natural beauty.
Surrounded by iconic mountain peaks and ridges which include Helvellyn, Place Fell, and St. Sunday Crag, the area around Middleton Place is a paradise for walkers. With routes ranging from gentle lakeside strolls to more challenging ridge walks, there is something for every level of outdoor enthusiast.
The nearby Ullswater, the second largest 'Water' in the Lake District, offers a wealth of activities and experiences, from boating to hiking, showcasing the lake’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
The property does require refurbishment, and as such, we are inviting cash buyers to contact us for further details and to arrange viewings.
