The Estate

Eleven acres of private parkland above Ullswater, a house that sleeps eighteen without ever feeling crowded, and gates that close behind you.

Sleeps: 18
Bedrooms: 9
Bathrooms: 8
Dogs: 3

The Story

Built in the 1820s and held by one family for five generations, The Estate has hosted rather a lot of consequential weekends. It has the bones for it: a hall that takes a long table, a library that takes a quiet conversation, and grounds that absorb children, dogs and marquees with equal grace.

It is the house we suggest when a celebration matters and privacy matters more.
