The Property
The former hunting lodge and Lake District retreat of the Duke of Norfolk, Wreay Mansion has been thoughtfully converted into apartments that make excellent holiday homes or an escape from it all. Enjoying an elevated position above Ullswater, Wreay Mansion boasts splendid open views across the lake to the mountains beyond and a peaceful, private setting, yet with local amenities close by and easy access to the M6.

Five Wreay Mansion has been beautifully decorated in neutral, relaxing tones and a modern style, with hints and touches of original features such as wooden beams in the loft room and the exposed stone fire surround in the second bedroom.

The private entrance leads into a smart, modern kitchen with integrated oven and electric hob, and open to the sitting room, allowing light to flow through from both sides and showcasing the stunning view across the lake. The sitting room has a stylish fireplace in local slate with a wood burning stove and ample space for living and dining. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room and the second double bedroom is served by a tasteful bathroom with shower over the bath and a good sized storage cupboard. Stairs lead up from the kitchen to the third bedroom or additional living space.

With a separate entrance beside the door into the apartment, a private utility and boot room provides additional secure space for outdoor equipment and muddy boots.

Externally
Accessed via a driveway and with residents’ parking, Five Wreay Mansion also has use of shared sweeping lawns with planted borders and seating areas to the front of the property, to make the most of the views, and a private yard area to the rear.

Agents Note
Service charge is currently £1,559 per annum. This covers buildings insurance, maintenance of structures, sewage and waste disposal for the whole site, the communal garden and a sinking fund. The fee is paid to a management company (formed by the owners of the properties at Wreay Mansion) who own the freehold of the property.
