10 bed country house for sale

Gosforth, Seascale CA20

Not one but two stunning properties set within four acres on the western edge of the Lake District. Live the family dream, earn an income, or do both - this is a truly rare find!

The Farmhouse

Part built in the 17th century, Bolton Head Farm is a traditional Cumbrian farmhouse - solid stone walls, original features and an abundance of character. Four generous double bedrooms, two well-proportioned reception rooms and a dining kitchen at the heart of it all. Period charm meets everyday comfort, with scope to make it your own.
Around one acre of private gardens and yard surround the house, with the kind of outlook - fells, sky and open countryside - that most people only dream about. Entirely self-contained with separate driveway access from the adjoining next door, it works perfectly as a family home in its own right.

The Luxury Barn Conversion

With planning permission to be a fully residential 5 bedroom home, this barn is currently trading as a six-bedroom Bed & Breakfast that has built an outstanding reputation in the premium Lake District stays market. Beautifully furnished, thoughtfully designed and finished to a very high standard - guests love it, and the reviews prove it.
Commercially, it is a proven performer with strong forward bookings. A loyal returning guest base. Everything is in place, ready for a new owner to step straight in.
The hot tub, the fell views, the six stylish bedrooms, the extensive grounds - it all adds up to something genuinely special. The Four in a Bed win didn't hurt either.

Grounds & Outbuildings

Sitting with four acres in total, split across the two properties. Mature gardens, open lawns, ample hardstanding/parking and paddock all set against the backdrop of the western fells. Private, peaceful and utterly beautiful.
An extensive agricultural building offers genuine development potential, subject to planning - ancillary accommodation, workshops, garaging or leisure use all worth exploring. Planning permission for a swimming pool is already in place. The estate also comes with four resident alpacas, available by negotiation – the idyllic country lifestyle!

The Views

Scafell Pike. Wastwater. The South Lakes. Across the Irish sea to the Isle of Man. On a clear day, the panorama from this estate is simply extraordinary - and it never gets old.

Location

The western Lake District is quieter and less crowded than the central lakes, but every bit as spectacular. The Wasdale Valley is on the doorstep, with Scafell Pike, Wastwater and the coast accessible in minutes.
Gosforth village is just down the road with a locally renowned bakery, pubs, primary school and active village community. Seascale is five miles west for rail links and beach access. Whitehaven, Cockermouth and Ulverston are within easy reach for shops, schools and a wider choice of restaurants and amenities.
