Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Luxurious 4 bedroom property in the Lake District National Park
  • 2 Bedroom Cottage attached
  • Fabulous views of Skiddaw and surrounding fells
  • Extensively renovated and finished to an extremely high standard
  • Dedicated Gym or Home office space
  • Generous plot with mature gardens

Little Orchard has been extensively renovated by the current owners since they purchased it in 2018, now offering the perfect blend of country style with eco technology and Scandinavian inspired décor. The property was originally built in 1952 by a Dutch engineer but has since been extended, upgraded and tastefully decorated. This is a truly unique opportunity to own a very special property in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.

The entrance hall instantly draws your eyes, through a set of patio doors, to the beautiful views on offer. The bespoke joinery to the stairs and storage, is an early sign of the quality on offer in this property.

A cosy sitting room sits off the entrance hall with windows front and rear plus a beautiful feature fireplace with log burning stove. Exposed beams, oak doors and traditional style windows offer a lovely cottage feel.

The kitchen is stunning with hand built, solid wood cabinets, dressed with quartz worktops. High end appliances from Neff, a Quooker instant hot water tap, and a fabulous induction Rangemaster are fitted making it a fantastic place to cook the perfect meals. Windows run down each side of the kitchen and dining area making it a brilliantly light and airy space. Pendant and under cabinet lights help to add a touch of class on darker nights.

A dedicated utility space is located next to the kitchen with plenty of storage space for coats of boots. A downstairs bathroom is also located here making it a convenient place to access from the garden or to wash off a four-legged friend after a day on the fells.

The living room was added as part of the new extension and is a breathtaking space, offering pitched ceilings and a full height window, framing the view of Skiddaw and drawing your eyes down the valley. Patio doors also give access to the outside terrace.

Upstairs you will find four double bedrooms with one currently used as an office. The primary suite is luxurious and adds a different perspective of the surrounding views being more elevated. A corner window frames Ullock Pike and Skiddaw and can be enjoyed from the comfort of your bed. The ensuite is generous and well fitted with a spacious walk-in shower with a skylight directly above. The second bedroom also features an ensuite and panoramic views.

Little Orchard has mature gardens front and rear and sits in just under an acre plot. Recently installed steps and paths run through the bushes to the front of the property. A terrace at the rear runs the full length of the property and adjoining cottage. It is south facing and enjoys the sun throughout the day and early evening.

In a separate building you will find a well-equipped gym. This space is fully insulated and has its own heating and electrical system. Glazed patio doors and a large side window offer natural light and stunning views while you exercise. An EV car charger and a bike store are also located in this building.

The exterior of the property has also been extensively updated and finished in K render meaning little to no maintenance is required. A CCTV system has also been installed for peace of mind. A large plant room sits below the living room offering a useful storage space and contains the boiler for both properties.

The attached cottage is a lovely property, offering two bedrooms, family bathroom, well fitted kitchen and a living room / dining area with vaulted ceilings and patio doors to the outside space. This property would be great for multigenerational living, friends and family who visit, or as a secondary revenue stream as a holiday let. A place for a doorway between the properties was planned but not opened. This could easily be opened if you wished to join it to the main building.
