Exquisite Victorian Country House in the Heart of the Lake District

Broomlands presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished mid Victorian country house, gracefully situated in the picturesque Lakeland village of High Lorton. Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Lake District National Park, this impressive residence is enveloped by iconic fells, shimmering lakes, and verdant forests, offering an unparalleled setting for refined country living.

Set within approximately one and a half acres of private grounds, Broomlands exudes an air of tranquillity and exclusivity. A gated driveway leads to the property, revealing meticulously maintained gardens, a former stable building that has recently been re-roofed and is currently used for garden equipment and a beautiful greenhouse promising a harmonious blend of elegance and functionality.

Spanning over 300 square meters, the interior boasts well-proportioned rooms that seamlessly combine period charm with modern convenience. Two grand reception rooms provide ample space for formal entertaining, while a magnificent orangery offers a tranquil retreat with panoramic views of the Lorton Valley. The property further comprises four generously sized double bedrooms, each featuring a luxurious ensuite bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for family and guests alike.

Constructed in 1874, Broomlands exemplifies classic Victorian architecture, characterized by grand proportions, soaring ceilings, and expansive windows that flood the rooms with natural light. Original period features have been lovingly preserved, including ornate cornicing, elegant fireplaces, and a striking staircase with a feature window framing captivating fell views.

The heart of the home lies in the dining kitchen, complete with bespoke fitted cabinets and an Everhot range cooker, perfect for culinary enthusiasts. A flexible study/family room, also suitable as a fifth bedroom, offers versatility to suit individual needs. The property has benefited from recent investment that includes the full refurbishment of the house and the addition of a substantial orangery.

Outside, the extensive private grounds provide a haven for relaxation and recreation. Gravel parking areas and an integral garage offer convenience. The beautifully landscaped gardens showcase manicured lawns, a thriving orchard, ornamental hedges, and a diverse array of flora and fauna. Looking onto ten Wainwright fells, the views are simply breathtaking. The garden faces south, bathing the garden in sunshine.
