Its traditional exterior sits naturally within the landscape, while the interiors combine original character with a thoughtful, contemporary finish.

The surrounding fells form a remarkable backdrop. Woodland, open skies and changing light bring a different quality to every hour of the day. Despite its wonderfully quiet position, the house remains well placed for village life, memorable walks and the wider attractions of the central Lake District.

A private seating area and stone-paved patio create an inviting introduction. This is a lovely place for morning coffee, unhurried lunches or a quiet drink as the evening light settles across the fells. Generous parking adds everyday practicality, while stone steps lead towards the main entrance.

At street level, the garage provides valuable additional storage and useful practical space, particularly well-suited to bikes, outdoor equipment and the everyday requirements of Lakeland life. It may also offer scope for conversion or alternative use, subject to all necessary planning permissions, building regulations and consents. To the rear of the property, the former boiler room provides further practical storage, discreetly positioned away from the main living accommodation and well suited to household, sporting or outdoor essentials.

Designed For Time Together
A welcoming porch opens into the central hallway, where the quality and considered character of the house become immediately apparent. Natural materials, carefully chosen colours and charming architectural details create an interior that feels relaxed, comfortable and quietly refined.

The kitchen-dining room is the sociable heart of St Giles. Generous proportions and high ceilings give the room a pleasing sense of space, while exposed beams and dark oak flooring introduce warmth, depth and texture. Traditional flush casement windows frame glimpses of the patio, surrounding trees and open fellside beyond, drawing the landscape into the room.

Ivory-white cabinetry keeps the kitchen fresh and understated, complemented by elegant marble work surfaces. A cleverly arranged pantry area provides valuable storage without interrupting the flow of the space. There is ample space for a substantial dining table, allowing family meals, celebrations and evenings with friends to unfold comfortably.

The room has been planned so that cooking and conversation can happen together. Nobody is separated from the gathering, whether preparing supper, opening a bottle of wine or lingering at the table long after dinner has finished.
A handsome stone fireplace anchors the room and provides a natural focal point. The open fire brings both warmth and atmosphere during the colder months, making this an especially inviting place to return to after a day spent walking the Langdale valleys.

Character In Every Detail
The arrangement of St Giles gives each bedroom its own identity while maintaining a consistent sense of style throughout. Carefully selected finishes, attractive windows and exposed beams connect the rooms to the wider character of the house.

One double bedroom occupies the upper floor beneath an appealing sloping roofline. Its shape adds charm and individuality without compromising its generous proportions. Deep windows capture views towards the fells and woodland, creating a peaceful outlook from the bed and a strong connection with the surrounding landscape.

The remaining two bedrooms are positioned on the lower level. The second double bedroom offers excellent built-in storage and impressive ceiling height, making it both practical and comfortable. Its windows continue the theme of drawing in natural light and framing the landscape beyond.

The third bedroom is currently arranged with twin beds, although its proportions would also accommodate a double bed. There is scope to introduce further fitted storage if desired, making this a flexible room for children, guests or occasional home working.

Useful cupboards are discreetly positioned throughout the house. Coat hooks have also been thoughtfully placed for walking jackets, dog leads and the everyday essentials that accompany life in the Lakes. Together with the garage and former boiler room, these practical spaces allow the house to function comfortably as both a retreat and a highly usable home.

Calm And Considered
Two beautifully finished bathrooms serve the three bedrooms. The upper bathroom includes a bath and rainfall-style shower, combining practicality with a calm, understated finish. Marble detailing, a stylish vanity unit and deep storage shelves complete the room.

The second bathroom features a particularly generous rainfall shower, attractive tiling and another elegant vanity unit. Both spaces feel bright and carefully resolved, with every finish selected to complement the age, warmth and character of the house.

St Giles has been used as holiday accommodation, yet it possesses none of the impersonal qualities sometimes associated with such homes. Instead, it feels settled, comfortable and genuinely welcoming. It could continue as a successful Lakeland retreat, become an elegant second home or offer a distinctive permanent base for those drawn to the landscape and pace of life in this part of Cumbria.

Elterwater And The Langdales
Elterwater is one of the Lake District's most admired villages, surrounded by some of the National Park's finest scenery. The village sits at the entrance to Great Langdale, with celebrated walking routes extending towards Chapel Stile, Skelwith Bridge and the dramatic Langdale Pikes.

Days can begin from the doorstep, following riverside paths, woodland trails and open fell routes through scenery that changes with every season. The village itself offers the relaxed pleasures of traditional Lakeland life, while nearby Chapel Stile provides useful local amenities.

Ambleside is within easy reach and offers an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday services. Lake Windermere, Grasmere and Coniston are also readily accessible, placing St Giles at the centre of some of the region's most loved landscapes.
For all this accessibility, the immediate setting remains remarkably peaceful. Passing traffic is limited, and the prevailing sounds are those of birds, wind in the trees and water moving through the valley.

St Giles is a home that feels closely connected to its setting. Stone, timber, firelight and fell views come together with quietly confident interiors, creating a place equally suited to shared adventures and slower days at home.
