Huntingstile South

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.
