Set within the Lake District National Park, the property enjoys a wonderfully private position surrounded by countryside, with views towards the lake and surrounding fells. Belle Grove has been in the same family ownership since the 1960s and has all the character of a traditional Lakeland retreat, with exposed stone, attractive gardens and a setting that feels both secluded and connected to the landscape.
The principal house provides comfortable four-bedroom accommodation. The ground floor includes a welcoming sitting room with exposed beams and an open stone fireplace, a separate dining room, breakfast room and kitchen, together with a family bathroom and internal access to the garage. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including three generous doubles and a smaller fourth bedroom or study, alongside a family bathroom.
Attached to the main house is Spring Grove, a self-contained two-bedroom cottage currently used as successful holiday accommodation. With its own entrance and parking, it offers considerable flexibility. It could continue to generate income, provide independent accommodation for extended family or, subject to any necessary consents, be incorporated into Belle Grove to create one substantial family home.
Spring Grove includes a characterful sitting room with exposed brickwork, beams and a wood-burning stove, together with a kitchen/dining room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.
The outbuildings provide another important part of the offering. The traditional Cow Byre has planning consent for conversion to a one-bedroom cottage, creating further potential for guest accommodation, holiday letting or ancillary use. A second large barn provides excellent storage and could lend itself to garaging, workshop space or other uses, subject to any necessary consents.
A particularly special feature of this lot is its private strip of Ullswater frontage. Separate from the harbour offered as Lot 3, this gives Belle Grove a direct connection with one of the Lake District's most celebrated lakes and adds significantly to the lifestyle appeal of the property.
The combination of the principal house, independent cottage, outbuildings and lake frontage makes this an unusually versatile proposition. Whether retained as a home with income, adapted for multigenerational living or developed further over time, Belle Grove offers enormous potential in a remarkable setting.
