Holly Lodge

5 BED HOUSE AND 2 HOLIDAY COTTAGES. Sat in generous mature grounds circa 1 acre, a traditional 5 bedroom Victorian rural residence well presented with spacious accommodation with the advantage of barns converted into 2 two bedroomed holiday cottages.

Sat in a generous plot, circa 1 acre, with ample potential, subject to the necessary permissions for further development, occupying a charming position in this popular rural area, lying between the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Northern Fells section of the Lake District National Park, Holly Lodge sits beautifully in the rolling landscape, with open aspects to the front and rear, yet well connected to Cockermouth to the south and Carlisle to the north.

A fine example of a traditional Victorian gentleman’s residence, the main house has retained many of the original features giving great charm and character.

Approached from the front via a sandstone columned portico the entrance hall runs front to back, with a return staircase accessing the first floor.

A well-proportioned sitting room sits to the front left, with a dining room to the front right, which is open to the kitchen. Behind this is a generous lounge with a corner aspect view overlooking the grounds.

A most useful utility room, with WC and wash hand basin, provides access to a series of cellar rooms, ideal for wine storage. To the rear of this is an office / study.

To the first floor are 5 double bedrooms, 2 having private ensuite facilities, and a separate bathroom serving the others.

To the rear a redbrick barn, dating to 1861 with an interesting set of initial picked out, has been converted into two individual cottages, presently trading as holiday rental units. Both of these have reversed accommodation, with bedrooms to the ground floor and living accommodation top the first, the larger of which, Grooms Cottage, has a balcony and steps down to the rear garden.

Ideal as an excellent family home, with onsite income generation, in recent years the main house has also been used as group holiday accommodation, for further details and information on the rental income please contact our office.

Arkleby itself lies around 6 miles north east of Cockermouth with Keswick some 16 miles to the east. The nearby village of Plumbland has a church, village hall and a good village primary school, a short distance away.
