1,2,3 The Knowe A grand country house set in magnificent grounds
A
grand country house, which is currently divided into three separate residences and offers flexible layout and use options, in addition to exciting development potential. The property has land and grounds totalling around four acres, as well as various outbuildings and an off road parking area. Set away from the property is a large coach house, with potential for an additional dwelling (subject to planning consent). The residence is located on the edge of the rural village of Baggrow, surrounded by open countryside and only around four miles from the magnificent Lake District National Park. The main house has been divided into two residences and could be converted back into an impressive five bedroom home. It has been unoccupied for a number of years and requires full renovation but retains many superb period features, including a grand staircase, stunning tiled entrance hall floor and a wonderful stained glass porch. The rooms are well proportioned, with high ceilings and large windows bathing them in light. The adjoining former servants quarters have been renovated and currently serve as a comfortable two bedroom cottage. The site as a whole offers a huge amount of scope and flexibility, along with excellent income and development potential.
