More Information
Scalegill House, found on a private farm track, close to Lake Bassenthwaite, is a traditional Lakeland longhouse with incredible history. As with all traditional longhouses, it’s built in a north south direction, allowing for the sun all day and some incredible sunsets in the evening. The property has been thoughtfully re-developed and has been completely rebuilt from the ground up, the space had been very well utilised and offers excellent social space for friends and families.
The kitchen has a lovely country feel and is superbly fitted out, along with a large family dining table to seat the whole household under Velux windows letting the light flood in. Enjoy the luxurious lounge for relaxing in front of an enormous log burner and smart TV. There’s also a lovely conservatory / sunroom to enjoy a morning coffee or a sundowner. Outside there is plenty of space for children to play with a large lawned garden and a spacious gravel patio with outdoor furniture.
The remnants of Roman forts can be found on the surrounding hills and with views to Skiddaw it is well positioned for exploring right from the door. Keswick, Cockermouth and Carlisle are all within 15 miles and several great pubs are only a short drive away including the Castle Inn which has an excellent reputation for great food. The area benefits from being quieter and less commercialised than some of the other Lakeland towns and villages yet is only a short drive to the popular market towns of Keswick and Cockermouth.
You may well see the ospreys soaring high above Bassenthwaite or see red squirrels in the area. Why not enjoy a visit to the Lakes Distillery, explore the networks of paths that criss-cross the area, choose from the superb local country pubs and relax and unwind in the one of the most peaceful corners of the Lake District. For those wanting the high fells, the summits of Blencathra and Skiddaw are within easy reach and the nearby Whinlatter Forest is the popular destination of choice for those looking for some of the best mountain bike trails in the country.
