Situated within an acre of land at the foot of Place Fell is Broad How a grand 7-bedroom house dating back to the 1830s that benefits from spectacular views of the fells and gardens in all directions. It has been set out with families or groups of friends in mind. The ground floor is the social hub, spanning two floors. It comprises a spacious living room with an open fire and cosy sofa seating, a sitting room with a large wall-mounted TV, and the kitchen (our favourite room) with a solid 16-place oak dining table in the centre, perfect for family meals. Modern kitchen appliances, such as the large range cooker, will make catering for everyone a breeze, and cleaning up afterwards will be a doddle thanks to the two dishwashers. The kitchen has plenty of crockery, pots, pans etc. Take a look at the inventory here. The games room, which houses the pool table, is also on the ground floor, along with the garden room and a shower wetroom. The First floor is accessed by the grand U-shaped staircase. On the upper floor, there is a small library offering a selection of books. All the bedrooms are located on the first floor, with two more bathrooms and a WC. Outside the house is the extensive lawn garden and established shrubbery. This is a wonderful space for alfresco dining or perhaps a barbecue. The elevated position of the garden allows for marvellous views toward Patterdale and the fells beyond. Kids will delight at hide-and-seek here—there are so many great places to play. If you fancied a walk, you'd be spoilt for choice - there are 50 "Wainwrights" within a 5-mile radius of the house, including Place Fell, the Helvellyn Range, and the shoreline Ullswater Way route to Howtown and Pooley Bridge. Patterdale Village is less than a 10-minute walk away, and Glenridding is about a 20-minute walk, where you will find the Glenridding Pier for the Ullswater Steamers. From here, you can sail north to Howtown, Aira Force and Pooley Bridge and the northern tip of Ullswater. Patterdale, Glenridding and Pooley Bridge have a great selection of pubs, cafes and places to visit, so you will be spoilt for choice.
