Gatesgarth is a substantial detached five-bedroom house in an enviable position above Ullswater, set within grounds of around 3.5 acres. It has distinctive gabled elevations, a slate roof and tall chimneys, and offers about 223 sq m (2,392 sq ft) of accommodation over two floors. With its garage and a range of outbuildings, the total gross internal area is approximately 305 sq m (3,281 sq ft). The house has been left unoccupied and needs comprehensive renovation and repair, so it is a rare chance for a buyer to put their own stamp on a property in a spectacular setting. Many period and character features remain, including fireplaces, built-in storage and large windows framing the views. Gatesgarth is available separately or together with Gatesgarth Cottage, a detached two-bedroom bungalow with its own garden.
