What Will £1 Million Get You In The Lake District?

 

---

This month in our What Will £1 Million Get You… property series, we’re heading north to one of the UK’s most breathtaking locations – the Lake District. Working with our colleagues at Ashdown Jones, we’re showcasing a truly special home that offers the perfect combination of elegance, comfort, and iconic Lakeland scenery.

A Home with History and Heart

No. 3 The Hoo is part of a distinguished residence originally built in 1913, inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement. Once a gentleman’s home, the building was later divided into three properties in the 1970s, with No. 3 offering today’s buyer the ideal blend of characterful period features and modern luxury.

From the moment you pull off the A591 and make your way up The Hoo Lane, the setting feels idyllic. Wrapped in greenery and surrounded by the fells, this three-bedroom home enjoys panoramic views over Lake Windermere and the countryside beyond.

Inside No. 3 The Hoo

Step through the traditional stained-glass doorway and you’re greeted by original parquet flooring and oak doors that set the tone for the rest of the home. The accommodation, all on one level, has been designed for both style and practicality:

• Three generous bedrooms including a light-filled master suite with a bay window and modern en-suite.

• A study – the perfect space for working from home, reading, or simply enjoying a quiet retreat.

• A kitchen-diner with a large contemporary island and integrated Neff appliances, ideal for family meals and entertaining.

• A spectacular living room, once the music room of the original house, complete with dual-aspect bay windows, high ceilings, elegant panelling, and a log burner – a true heart of the home.

Gardens and Grounds

The beauty of the Lake District continues outside. The mature gardens are a haven for both people and wildlife, with winding woodland paths, colourful borders, and tranquil seating areas.

Enjoy morning coffee on the flagstone terrace, dine alfresco in the summerhouse, or relax beneath the ancient Acer tree. Wildlife lovers will delight in the pond, birds of prey overhead, and deer wandering through the woodland.

Practicality hasn’t been overlooked either, with a garage and undercroft storage for bikes, paddleboards, and gardening tools – everything you need to embrace outdoor life.

The Best of Both Worlds

No. 3 The Hoo is more than just a home; it’s an opportunity to live in one of the most sought-after regions in the UK. Whether you’re searching for a family home, a peaceful retreat, or a bolt hole to enjoy weekends in the fells, this property offers a lifestyle like no other.
