Home:* Built approximately in the 1800's* Lots of character, Pattinson style home* Lovely original features within the home* Stunning lake and fell views* 5 bedrooms* 3 bathrooms* Not listed* Large living and dining room with views onto the private gardenServices:* Oil fired central heating* Mains Water* Mains electricity* Private drainage* Council tax band 'G'Hidden away from the road, Bellmount House is set centrally on its plot, allowing the extensive gardens to provide a buffer between the home and the wider world, creating a true refuge. As you enter the driveway the house and garden do not give up their secret immediately. It isn't until you turn into the area in front of the house that the extraordinary view of Lake Windermere first makes itself known and the temptation is to jump out of the car and walk straight down the lawns to see more, rewarded by the ever-widening of the lake view ahead of you and, on a clear day, the majestic presence of the Old Man of Coniston, seemingly within touching-distance ahead.Predominantly Victorian, elements of the traditional Lakeland stone-built Bellmount House appear older, with an oral history suggesting the dwelling may have formerly existed as a row of four cottages before being developed by the Pattinson family in the 1800s. Long rather than square, yet with trademark Pattinson stone mullion windows and a formal main staircase, Bellmount House combines austere Victorian Gentleman's Residence with cosy cottage comforts for an utterly unique feel. Make your way indoors, via the gabled, stone quoin-cornered entrance porch, where a slate bench offers a resting place for debooting beneath the stone mullion window. Ahead, the Victorian iron studded door creates a sense of importance and arrival. The original bell-pull mechanism still works.Inside the entrance hallway, ancient beams are displayed overhead, with a narrow stone mullion window to the front inviting a shaft of daylight through. A home that has resisted the rash modernisations of many homes, the undisturbed original features of Bellmount House make it a unique prospect for lovers of antiquity and the true Wordsworth romance of the Lakes. The wide doorway of the drawing room opens ahead of you. A deceptively spacious room, a stone surround contains a Clearview log-burning stove set upon a slate hearth. Beams extend overhead, whilst a row of stone mullion windows frames leafy views out over the garden, best enjoyed from the seat beneath.From the drawing room, a door opens to a small garden terrace which basks in morning sunshine and is perfect for elevenses or brunch.Returning to the hall, turn to your right to explore the former servants end of the house, with the kitchen, breakfast room and boiler/utility room. The kitchen is a small but practical space where a cook can work deftly, affording the golden triangle ratio between sink, fridge and cooker. Stone mullion windows on two sides offer glimpses of the garden whilst exposed beams reveal the breakfast room beyond. As you pass into this room the character of this part of the building is enhanced by the outline of the second, cottage-style staircase leading up to the bedrooms above. The depth of the window seat indicates the solid build of the stone walls which are part panelled. The Breakfast Room is made cosy in winter by the multi-fuel stove but has the wide back door which can be opened up to bring in a fresh spring breeze. An original storage cupboard is fitted to the far side of the attractive fireplace. On the other side is a glass fronted double cupboard which conceals a former opening into the drawing room which could be easily restored to reclaim the connectivity of these rooms. From this room, the original heavy external door provides access out to the garden and utility outbuildings which give plenty of drying space for sports equipment, right by the door, as well as an outside tap for hosing down cycles, canoes or boots. Returning to the hallway, straight ahead of you now is the passage through to the other end of the house where a change of character can be detected, probably indicating the area developed by the Pattinson-era build into a Gentleman's Residence. Pass the quirky alcoves in the wall, and the deep understairs storage cupboard, handy for coats and boots. Reaching the end of the hallway, step into the large dining room. Light, bright and airy, the deep, stone-mullioned, box-bay window presents picturesque views down to Lake Windermere, where you can see the yachts bobbing at anchor.A treasure trove of original features includes picture rails and characterful honey-toned wooden flooring extending underfoot, whilst the corner fireplace, currently for ornamental use, is attractive in its simplicity and features a Lakeland slate hearth. An original door opens up into the stunning sitting room, where a deep, three-sided, stone mullion bay window reaches out into the greenery of the garden. Original honey-toned flooring, mellowed by the passing of time, extends underfoot whilst picture rails skirt the walls and warmth issues from the Clearview stove, snugly set within the stone fireplace.Take a seat by the window and watch the garden come to life before your eyes, as a variety of birds including chaffinches, woodpeckers, blackbirds and the elusive treecreeper frequent the bushes around the bird tables.Formerly used as a bedroom, this part of the house is handy for those with older relatives or those with accessibility requirements, as there is a modern wet room, with shower, wash basin, WC and heated towel radiator, found off a slate floor-lined lobby off the dining room. With cottage door access outside from this end of the home, leading to the barn, there is the potential to create an independent annexe out of the dining room, sitting room and wet room, if required.Returning to the inner hall, take the wide staircase up, with its easy shallow tread, where a stone mullion window on the turn offers a pleasant view out over the garden.Arriving at an intersection, a step to the left reveals the main bathroom, furnished with bath, shower, wash basin and WC and serving the master bedroom opposite.Opposite, lake views dominate from the stone mullion windows of the bountifully sized master bedroom, with further light entering from a side window; itself framing views out over the garden, fields and distant cottages.Tall ceilings reach down to the picture frame skirting the walls for a traditional sense of occasion. Supremely light and bright, wake up to ever changing views of Lake Windermere as the seasons rotate. Fitted beneath the window sill are cupboards and shelving. Turning right out of the bedroom, step up to an upper landing, before turning right to arrive at the second bedroom.Another capacious bedroom, stone mullion windows offer views out over the garden and barn to two sides. An Art Nouveau-style fireplace surrounds the metal grate and original brown tiles of the hearth, with original servant's bell still in situ to the side. Surprisingly spacious, this second bedroom offers access to the loft above.Moving along the landing, discover bedroom three, again featuring an attractive Victorian fireplace and with stone mullion window overlooking the garden. A room with a cosy cottage ambience, a beam set into the wall.Back on the landing, a quaint 'book nook' embellishes the wall, furnished with shelving and set beneath an exposed treacle-toned beam. Opposite, an angled door opens into the fourth bedroom, mirroring the cosiness and cottage feel of bedroom three and also overlooking the garden. Most of the bedrooms feature Victorian grate fireplaces with original servant's bell-pull at the side.Further along the landing on the left is a pleasantly light, high ceilinged shower room, with high windows spilling light down from above. With storage available in the linen closet (also housing the recently replaced water tank), this room also features a heated towel rail.An overhead skylight draws down natural light, continuing along the landing and beneath an archway to arrive at the original servant's quarters, where two additional rooms await, opposite one another. On the right is the larger room, previously used as a sewing room, and lit accordingly, with stone mullion seated window looking over the garden, Victorian grated fireplace and exposed wooden beams.To the left, an ideal study, or sixth bedroom should you wish, quietly tucked away from the main home yet with easy access down the rear staircase to the breakfast room and kitchen. New lino flooring and a painted fireplace give this an upbeat feel and suggest a home for creativity, a hobby room? The deep, seated stone mullion window looking out in the direction of the lake would be a place to reflect or take inspiration from the natural world outside.At the end of the landing the cottage staircase reconnects the bedrooms with the downstairs for a home with seamless flow.GardenOutside, lose yourself in the peace, privacy and picturesque elements of the acre of gardens cocooning Bellmount House. Lovingly planted with a selection of specimen trees including fir and spruce for an alpine effect, the secret spaces around three sides of the house open up to the spectacular view on the lake-facing side. It will draw you like a magnet to the lower lawn where, looking to the right across the fields, the Blackwell Arts & Crafts home is visible; take a look at the stone terraces which indicate what can be done to maximise the elegant impact of such a viewpoint. Something to try at Bellmount perhaps? If a closer look is required, the Arts & Crafts House is a five minute walk away and the cafe serves home-made cakes.Looking up from a hard-day's gardening to see the sun setting over Coniston Old Man has been a way of life for three decades at Bellmount and the deep and fertile soil of the annually manured plot needs only a quick turn to be back in business again. To the left, more beds surround the greenhouse in the sunniest corner, reminiscent of Mr McGregor's Garden, and there is even a sink for washing vegetables before they go up to the kitchen. The fencing bespeaks a long-running battle with Peter Rabbit and friends, but the cultivated area is so large and productive that there was usually enough for all to share. Returning up the path towards the house, another useful tool shed can be found. Loop around the side of the house past the barn and through the small gate to choose one of two paths around the rear garden; one along the formal terracing in front of the house, and another walk around the perimeter to discover a lovely secret garden route through bushes and trees and over a footbridge spanning a seasonal stream which usefully drains the garden on this side of the house in periods of high rainfall. Unique, filled with remarkable nooks and crannies and with a beauty that transcends the years, the gardens harmonise perfectly with the eclectic charm of Bellmount House.Barn storming potentialWith a number of large sheds, traditional potting sheds, outbuildings with toilets and laundry rooms, one building captures the imagination most keenly: the barn.An enormous, double height building, the barn could make a fantastic workshop for car enthusiasts, or those with their own business.However, there is vast potential, subject to planning approvals, to turn this home around, relocating the kitchen to this space. Imagine a glass-fronted, contemporary open-plan dining kitchen, where you can enjoy the last of the sun's rays on a summer evening, soaking up that view with a glass of wine.Such a transformation could allow you to utilise the existing kitchen as a laundry room, utilising what is currently the breakfast room as perhaps a boot room or drying room for wet suits. With its direct access out to the side, the current outdoor laundry room could easily work as an outdoor equipment room for bikes and canoes, or even be used as a potting shed. Let your imagination flow. The building is not listed and there are plenty of planning precedents in the local area.** For more photos and information, download the brochure on desktop.

The Property A truly magnificent Grade II Listed Victorian hall occupying extensive private gardens and grounds with a portfolio of nine luxury holiday lodges, separate cottage, comprehensive equestrian facilities, swimming pool and a remarkable purpose-built orangery ready to host guests for memorable events in fitting style. The property is currently operated as a successful lifestyle and business venture catering to weddings and luxurious holiday escapes. Both the stunning private home and the guest accommodation bring a wealth of opportunities to relax in style. The location in north Cumbria offers picturesque surroundings, nestled between the renowned UNESCO world heritage site of the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines AONB, all with easy access to the M6 for all visitors. The gorgeous hall and ancillary properties rest in around 7½ acres of private grounds, set amongst peaceful Cumbrian countryside in a small and peaceful village. The whole set up has been developed and operated by the current owner as a stunning and desirable venue to host beautiful weddings, family gatherings and relaxing private holidays. The business has proved hugely successful, providing both a fabulous home and a varied income stream from the accommodation and the hosting of unforgettable events. The business is firmly established with future bookings in place, providing a rare chance to secure immediate and ongoing income. The Hall Originally built in the mid-19th century, the hall boasts wealth of historic interest and was the home to many notable figures over the next 150 years. The handsome grey sandstone construction presents a wonderful example of Gothic architecture and the hall retains a host of period features. The expansive accommodation includes hugely spacious and versatile reception rooms with splendid proportions and gorgeous character. Soaring ceilings and elegant, towering windows create a grand yet welcoming atmosphere, with swathes of natural light highlighting striking period fireplaces, original window shutters and decorative coving and cornicing. Thoughtfully considered decor and colour palettes reflect the history of the property, married to perfection with high quality modern finishes for comfort and style. The reception rooms are complemented by a fabulous country house kitchen and an abundance of practical rooms including a utility, laundry and store rooms, as well as a huge cellar incorporating a scullery, wine store, preparation rooms and further stores. The spectacular bespoke staircase spirals from the entrance hall to the first floor with the galleried upper landing above, all illuminated by the sensational glazed roof lantern. There are five large double bedrooms arranged across the first floor with a mix of beautiful en-suite facilities and well-appointed bathrooms, and another three bedrooms on the second floor. The west wing of the property adds another three bedrooms at first floor level, along with a sitting room and kitchen, allowing the whole wing to operate as a self-contained annexe if required. The Orangery The spectacular purpose-built orangery is a magical luxury venue with formal seating for up to 100 guests. Italian marble flooring flows underfoot, and the glass-fronted design looks onto surrounding gardens with Mediterranean inspiration. The lantern roof opens electronically to bring the fragrant scents of the gardens inside during the summer months. This gorgeous space is sure to provide an unforgettable experience to every visitor. The orangery has a bar and an adjoining commercial kitchen to allow the seamless hosting of amazing events. The Holiday Cottage Converted from a former outbuilding within the curtilage of the hall, the cottage is a fabulous two bedroom property adding another dimension to the available holiday accommodation and an additional income stream to the business. Blending sympathetically with the surroundings, the cottage is finished to the same high standards found across the whole site and features a large open plan kitchen/living area to the ground floor. There is one bedroom on the ground floor with the second occupying the first floor. Both bedrooms benefit from an en-suite shower room. The cottage is a charming holiday destination and sleeps up to five guests. Additional Cottage with Planning Adjacent to the holiday cottage is a further outbuilding and the opportunity to create a one bedroom holiday unit. Planning permission was previously granted and architects plans drawn up to expand the holiday let business with this additional delightful cottage. Water, electricity and drainage are already in place to expedite the project. The Lodges The easily manageable park extends in total to approximately 1.9 acres with a central hardstanding roadway providing access to each of the lodge's car parking spaces. The park enjoys a discreet separate entrance via a quiet village roadway. The hire fleet lodges are all laid out in an attractive yet secluded fashion providing privacy for each occupant. The park is developed with nine luxury lodges as follows: 1. 4 single holiday lodges sleeping 4 (16ft x 40ft) 2. 1 single luxury holiday lodge sleeping 4 (16ft x 45ft) 3. 1 twin holiday lodge sleeping 4 (20ft x 40ft) 4. 3 micro lodge pods sleeping 2 (17ft x 10ft) Each lodge and pod benefits from a large decked area and a veranda covered hot tub as well as dedicated parking space. The park is very well developed with mature planting, gravelled roadway, CCTV and lighting throughout along with an electric security gate providing a grand arrival. At the entrance to the main park area is a newly constructed timber building currently used for storage which has been built with the intention and design that it would become a dedicated reception building complete with services in place. At the bottom of the park is a flat grass paddock area where planning permission has been granted for eight further lodges (Westmorland & Furness Council planning ref. 22/0664). The Business At present, the popular lodge holidays are sold via a third party booking system with limited ownership input, with the owners focusing on using the main hall and orangery as a high class wedding venue. The lodge element of the property provides an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to benefit from the established trade driven by the sustained demand for UK short break holidays as well as offering lucrative wedding accommodation from the main property. There is also an opportunity for a new owner to take advantage of significant sales opportunities should they choose to sell the lodges to private owners, whether that be existing units or via developing the new permitted lodges. The flexible property offers myriad opportunities depending on the owner, from a full scale wedding venue and lodge park, to a lodge park only or even as a boutique B&B with small wedding venue in the orangery. In it's present form, turnover has been growing with the year ending 31st March 2022 generating a net figure of c.£350,000. Equestrian Facilities The extensive and beautifully maintained grounds stretch away to the north east where the land is divided into well-fenced paddocks. The paddocks combine with stables, a tack room and a superb floodlit manege to provide an equestrian set up that is both impressive and manageable. This could also be operated as a horse livery business, adding yet another potential income stream. Gardens & Grounds Landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully laid out and carefully tended to provide suitably elegant surroundings to the hall. The stunning formal gardens include manicured lawns and charming topiary along with delightful water features that add to the sense of historic grandeur. Mature trees and established woodland are a haven for wildlife, whilst also bringing peace and privacy to the whole property.

The village offers a primary school and a popular public house.
