Location: Proceed out of Bowness village centre towards Winster on the A5074 then entering Winster, carry along the road turning left immediately after the Brown Horse Inn and the property is the second property on your left. A delightful setting approximately 2 miles to the South East of Bowness and Lake Windermere.
Description: Substantial does not adequately describe Crag House, with nearly 4000 Sq. Ft. of accommodation this once glorious house now needs an owner with vision to bring it into the 21st century. With it's fantastic location, nearly 3.75 acres of land including a 2 acre field to the rear, 6 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, integral garage and timber stables, Crag House is set to be one of the 'Best Houses' again in the Winster Valley.
The formal gardens are somewhat overgrown now but the former grandeur is easy to see. Sadly Japanese Knotweed has taken root and a specialist company have been employed to create a 10 year eradication plan in 2021 and full details can be given upon request.
To the rear of the gardens is a timber stables block close to the 2 acre field perfect for those wishing to keep horses onsite.
Whilst there will always be opportunities for restoration projects in our area, the blend of location, land and a fantastic house with such character are a rare find.
