Situation
The village of Bampton Grange is to be found on the eastern edge of the iconic Lake District National Park in the Lowther valley, where The Haweswater Beck joins the River Lowther, an area of countryside famed for its stunning scenery, breath-taking beauty and strong agricultural tradition. Grange House occupies an elevated position just to the east of the village. It has wonderful views across the valley to the fells in the distance. The neighbouring villages of Bampton and Askham each have their own village shop. Penrith and Ullswater are approximately 9.5 miles north and 11 miles west of Grange House. Penrith provides a complete range of services, including schooling. Shap (4 miles) also has a primary school. By car, via M6, Carlisle (28 miles) and Lancaster (43) miles can be reached within 45 minutes and 55 minutes respectively. The West Coast mainline railway from Penrith to London Euston takes 3 hours and forty minutes. Grange House is an ideal base for those wishing to take advantage of the wealth of scenic, sporting and recreational activities available locally. It is just under 26 miles from Lake Windermere, slightly further to Ambleside. Its location within The National Park ensures access to a wide range of rural pursuits and activities such as fell walking, wild/birdlife watching, climbing, sailing, open water swimming, diving, riding, game shooting and fishing. Description Grange House is a fine-looking farmhouse with adjoining barns, perfect for those looking to put their own stamp on a substantial family home located in fabulous Lakeland countryside. Dating from1856, the house retains many of its original features and is full of charm and character. Although in need of refurbishment throughout, much can be made of its generous and elegant proportions internally and opportunities externally. On the ground floor there are three spacious reception rooms, as well as a large kitchen. An impressive staircase leads from the hall to the first floor where there are six This Plan is based upon the Ordnance Survey Map with the sanction of the Controller of H.M. Stationery Office.

NOT TO SCALE. bedrooms. Together with the rooms on the second (attic) floor there is scope to rationalise the bedroom and bathroom accommodation (subject to obtaining the necessary consents) to create a really comfortable and striking family home. Outside, a long private drive leading from the public road, sweeps through the lawns up to the front of the house, whilst the back drive continues around to the rear courtyard where there is plenty of sparking. Adjacent to the main house, but currently not linked to it, is the utility room and garage. Next door is the former dairy; across the concrete yard is stabling inside a two-storey traditional barn. Adjoining, and running at right angles to these buildings is the impressive (also two storey) Cumbrian barn. All these buildings have potential for conversion to alternative uses (possibly income generating), including secondary accommodation. A concrete yard separates the Cumbrian barn from two redundant, relatively modern, livestock buildings and a redundant silage pit. In front of the house is a grass field which provides excellent grazing and is interspersed with specimen trees in shelters. It is bound by a stone wall and wire fence, with amenity woodland along the southern edge. Along the north-east boundary of Grange barn is a belt of trees and a small paddock with a traditional Cumbrian byre/field shelter.
