In total, the property comes with a six-acre plot, 200 metres of lake frontage, a jetty, a gated drive, a triple garage, and easy access to Grizedale forest. 

Within the grounds are sculptures from the Grizedale forest Sculptures in the forest exhibition from the 1970s.

The sun rises at the back and sets at the front, and there is a large balcony at the front and a terrace accessed by the garden and garage to enjoy the sunsets. 

It even comes with its own spring water, with a UV filter. 

The property was originally the gardener's cottage for neighbouring property The Heald, formerly owned by author Arthur Ransome.

The outside render and stonework are designed to blend with the landscape, while the interior decor is modern and minimalist to provide 'the ultimate in comfort and style.'

Once through a glass and exposed stone porch, guests are invited into a double-height entrance hall, with a chandelier and lake views as you ascend up the stairs.
