When the properties on Stanger Street were originally built at the end of the 19th Century, there was
planned to be road between Bank Street and Stanger Street, so a space was left for its construction, between what is now number 24 and 28. This plan was not carried out, so Abacourt House was built between the two end terrace properties in 1894 by the well-known local Hodgson family. Over the years, the property has been updated and improved, yet retains many of its lovely original features. Now with five ensuite letting bedrooms and two-bedroom owners' accommodation, it also has the very important added feature of car parking to the rear. In a lovely, elevated position enjoying views out over the surrounding Lakeland fells, Abacourt House enjoys an ideal position being only an easy short walk from the town center, yet being in a cul-de-sac gives a delightfully quiet location.
