Description
Grasmere 1.1 miles.
Huntingstile South is a substantial country property in a beautiful setting on the western side of Grasmere Lake, enjoying fine lake views from its principal rooms.
Forming the significant, southern section of a large country house built in the traditional Lakeland style, the property recently underwent a complete renovation by its interior designer owner.
It is well suited to families and those celebrating a special occasion, as well as couples seeking the ultimate luxury escape.
The property has an interesting history, being formerly in the Wordsworth family and it is known that William himself used to visit the house and indeed wrote poetry here.
Huntingstile sits in a commanding position, elevated above Grasmere Lake with spectacular panoramic views over mature gardens, and across the lake to the surrounding fells of Loughrigg, Stone Arthur and Helm Crag.
Ramblers will be thrilled to walk straight out of the door onto the path leading up to Huntingstile Crag and Silver How, with its far reaching views over the Langdale valley, Windermere, Rydal Water and beyond.
Step inside to a spacious and inviting interior.
The heart of the home is a large open plan kitchen, dining area and sitting room with warm oak fittings—ideal for hearty breakfasts before a day of adventure.
Unwind in the generous sitting room, where a crackling woodburning stove and stunning panoramic views create the ultimate retreat.
The separate library/sitting room provides an additional quieter area to relax in with a large collection of books and board games to enjoy.
Upstairs, four beautifully-furnished bedrooms ensure everyone can catch a night's sleep.
The master suite boasts a super-king-size bed and en-suite walk-in shower, while a super-king-size, a king-size (one with its own basin), and a twin room offer flexible accommodation for families and groups.
A contemporary family bathroom completes the space, all warmed by oil-fired central heating and soft-fitted carpets.
Outside, soak in the tranquility of the natural gardens, complete with rolling lawns, a meandering stream, and mature trees.
Sit back and relax on the terrace and watch the sunset, or explore the extensive gardens - filled with daffodils in the springtime; overflowing with hydrangeas and rhododendrons come summer.
The autumn colours on the fells are an incredible sight and nothing beats the view if you are lucky enough to be there when it snows.
With ample parking and direct access to scenic trails leading to Silver How, Loughrigg, and Elterwater, adventure is just a step away.
A picturesque walk brings you to Grasmere village, where delightful shops, cafés, and traditional pubs await.
Huntingstile South is your next unforgettable Lake District escape.

What guests are saying
The house was lovely and had wonderful views.
The kitchen was well stocked and access to local hiking trails could not have been easier. The one problem that we had was that the written directions to the house could have been much clearer if they had simply included the fact that the house was on Red Bank Rd. The word Red Bank was included in the address, but not being familiar with the format used for addresses in the UK, we did not recognise it as the street name. We arrived at night and it was misty and foggy. Our car’s GPS showed Red Bank Rd, but the written directions just said turn left in front of the church. Unfortunately, you had to go around the side of the church before there was any left turn available, which added to the confusion of being in a new place in the dark and in the fog. Fortunately, after finding the house, we had no other issues and had a wonderful stay.
