Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This is one of those mammoth homes that has a space for whatever sort of mood you're in. Outside, the huge terrace, outdoor kitchen and shed with a pair of hot tubs inside will see you through summer evening gatherings, while the upper floor library and TV room complete with open fire are ideal if you want a moment to yourself away from the group. Elsewhere, you're sure to appreciate the clawfoot bathtubs for when a little bit of me-time is needed. The kitchen is commercial-sized and will make whipping up feasts for guests sitting in the grand dining area a breeze — although private catering is available if you're not so culinary gifted. The home itself sits between the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Lake District, so there's a wide range of walking routes and natural landmarks nearby. Even closer to home, there's an art gallery at Farfield Mill only four minutes away on foot, as well as pubs and cafes in the town of Sedbergh reached in around twenty-five minutes' walk.

About The North Pennines
It’s official – the North Pennines are beautiful. Designated an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a UNESCO geological heritage site, this undulating area of North Yorkshire has spectacular scenery and a landscape that could tell the story of aeons gone by. Tiny stone-house villages and hamlets dot the valleys and cluster around babbling rivers – Bowlees is particularly idyllic and is home to the North Pennines information centre....
