Beautiful inside and out, discover the charming four-bedroom home of Calgarth South Lodge, peacefully poised within two acres of picturesque grounds in Troutbeck Bridge.

Built around 1880 by renowned local builder Pattinsons and thoughtfully extended in 2010, this detached traditional Cumbrian dressed stone façade with sandstone window and door surrounds offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern-day comfort.

Nestled just beyond the buzz of Windermere, it is the perfect retreat where heritage meets tranquillity, just moments from everyday necessities.

Step through the arch of the practical outer porch, where muddy shoes can be stowed after countryside strolls, and into an impressive light-filled double-height hallway, where guests will feel instantly welcome.

To the left, a versatile study offers space for work or perhaps a spot for the children to call their own, where toys and games can be kept out of sight.

A capacious and beautifully appointed living room blends timeless charm and practical comfort, where a rectangular bay window frames the classic garden views. The log burner, set in a striking stone hearth and surround, makes it ideal for cosy evenings, family movie nights, and quiet moments curled up with a good book.

Barn-style doors create a country charm, hiding plentiful storage in the deep understairs cupboard and pantry with a wine store. In addition, the generous utility room offers functionality with fitted cabinetry, sink, space for the washer and dryer, ample storage, and durable red quarry tile flooring that flows conveniently into a separate WC.

The real heart of the home lies beyond in the open-plan living-dining-kitchen that creates the opportunity for connection and comfort. Wood-finished cabinetry offers plenty of room for all kitchen essentials, with dedicated areas for an integrated fridge, double ovens, induction hob, and dishwasher, making it a practical and effortless choice.

The central island anchors the space, creating a natural gathering point for conversations, breakfast, and homework. The dining table and seating area are perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the views of the garden framed by the large glazing that floods the room with natural light. Open the trifold doors and allow the inside and outside to flow together.

A Restful Retreat
Ascend the stairs to the beautifully designed balconied landing, where light pours in to create a serene approach to the four bedrooms.

Two spacious double bedrooms decorated in neutral hues with ample room to accommodate a double wardrobe, a king-sized bed, and a chest of drawers offer stunning garden views, creating a peaceful spot to retreat to. Bedroom two has additional storage in the eaves, perfect if you need items on hand yet hidden away. A single room adds flexibility as a bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe, or a study.
The three bedrooms share the large contemporary family bathroom comprising a shower over bath, WC, sink, and heated towel rail. You will see that you can move straight into Calgarth and unpack.

At the end of the corridor lies the master suite. High ceilings and picturesque views of the garden and fells infuse the space with elegance and a sense of openness. There is ample space for fitted or freestanding wardrobes, and a sleek and stylish en-suite shower room adds a touch of luxury and everyday convenience.
Calgarth South Lodge is a sophisticated and beautiful place to call home, blending the serenity of nature with functionality.

Gardens
The two acres of Calgarth South Lodge wrap the home, ensuring a tranquil and private haven. Designed with both relaxation and connection, this exceptional retreat boasts inviting spaces to entertain guests, savour a G&T by the firepit, and let little adventurers roam freely through many enchanting corners waiting to be explored.
Arrive in a generous gravel driveway with plenty of parking for yourself and visitors, and be instantly drawn to the beautiful blooming hydrangeas beneath the native array of trees.

The upper levels of the garden contain numerous sociable spots where hosting friends on the decked terrace beneath the climbing wisteria overlooking the woodland and river beyond is both magical and convenient. Set effortlessly next to the home, find a sunny space for a quiet morning coffee.

As you continue past the seating area and fire pit, the two acres open up to two manicured lawns perfect for an impromptu game of football or croquet. Framed by woodland and flowering shrubs, the landscape unfolds with a natural elegance that balances refinement and wild charm.

Wander through your idyllic patch of Lake District woodland where children can build dens, and the river meanders through. It's quite a spectacular scene, inviting you to slow down and savour the moment.

At the very bottom of the garden, the views extend over the adjacent fields.

Keep your garden tools organised and neatly stored in the versatile summer house and durable timber-and-steel garage.

Out and about
Calgarth South Lodge is serenely situated in the hamlet of Troutbeck Bridge, in the heart of the Lake District National Park, where adventures are on your doorstep.

The nearby thriving communities of Windermere and Bowness provide all the necessary amenities, including a library, post office, both primary and secondary schools, bars, restaurants, shops, and a petrol station. From the towns, you can also enjoy prominent walks that take you onto the fells, giving majestic views of parts of the Lake District National Park, the opportunity to set sail on England's largest lake, and multiple attractions for you to peruse.

Cross Lake Windermere via the car ferry and drive to Hawkshead. Pick up some chutneys and jams from Hawkshead Relish, and admire the quintessential village before returning via Ambleside - a popular spot to visit known for its Michelin-starred restaurants and walking routes.

The fantastic central location of the home allows effortless possibilities to explore the national park, and further afield, as the M6 is just a 20-minute drive away.
