External Details
Scale House sits on an estate of circa 5.5 acres including substantial lawned gardens giving superb countryside and fell views, a smaller but equally pretty rear garden and a lovely, peaceful leafy walk around the periphery of the plot.
A sweeping private driveway leads from the main gate, past the hedged and gravelled ornamental gardens on one side and on the other, private woodland which separates the property from the road.
The gravelled forecourt provides parking for 12-15 cars comfortably and the patio terrace, with its southerly aspect and glorious vista, has plenty of garden furniture and a hot tub, making it a fabulous place for enjoying the sun as well as barbecues, alfresco dining and star gazing. The Opportunity It is rare for a property of this quality and magnitude to come to the market, especially one which offers a potential buyer, both residential and business options.
As a home, Scale House represents a great opportunity to live in a period luxury property in a National Park environment, surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery and quaint villages that England has to offer. The quality of property and location is also a massive draw for leisure and hospitality trade should a buyer wish to continue with the business which our seller clients have already built.
Indeed, a third option, and one which our clients undertook for several years, would be to live in the house on a part time basis whilst creating an income by leasing to guests while they were away, and hence, enjoying the best of both worlds.
