THE BAKE HOUSE

About this property

This luxury development of 6 apartments have been refurbished to the highest standard and have 'Green Credentials' with renewable energy heating and triple glazing throughout. The apartment has a Juliette balcony with views over the grounds, a cosy wood burning stove and is sure to appeal to our discerning clients. There is an onsite licensed conference/meeting room where meals can be served around an Inglenook fireplace.

The Estate is located within a 10 minute drive of the M6, Junction 38 for Tebay and Kendal and on the edge of the Lake District and the North Yorkshire Dales National Parks and nearby Howgill Fells. The Estate, which can also be reached from M6 junctions 36 and 37, is approached over a private mile driveway to a most secluded location with a stream bordering the land to the west and the properties benefitting from superb views of the eastern Lakeland fells and beyond. The grounds appear to extend out into the picturesque park-like neighbouring farmland.

The renovation work to this former 17th Century farmstead has been carried out by local craftsmen to an extremely high standard with an emphasis on achieving a high 5* rating and ‘Green Credentials’. The properties all benefit from triple glazing and the heating is provided by solar thermal panels and a ground source heat pump supported by heat recovery and ventilation systems which together assure you of a draft free, warm and cosy welcome. Each property also has an attractive wood burning stove.
