oodlands is a superb Victorian country house in the desirable village of Ireby, presently run as a licensed country guest house. The main house has five ensuite bedrooms, with a modern single storey accommodation building providing three additional ensuite guest rooms. An attached annex with potential for a variety of uses presently serves as owner accommodation and the former stable building has been converted into a two bedroom self catering cottage generating further income.

It is located in the picturesque fell village of Ireby on edge of the Lake District National Park, within easy reach of iconic North Lakeland fells, lakes and market towns. The residence is set within delightful grounds overlooking open countryside and hills, with distant views of the Skiddaw fell range to the South.

This handsome property was built in the Victorian era as the village vicarage and has retained much of the original grandeur and period features. The rooms are of generous proportions with high ceilings and large windows offering wonderful views of the grounds and surrounding countryside.

This is a superb opportunity to acquire a stunning period property and successful holiday accommodation business in a prime location, with scope for growing the income. There is also potential to reinstate the house as an impressive private residence, subject to consent to change of use.

Woodlands benefits from the Governments Non-Domestic Renewable Heating Incentive, which covers the complete cost of the central heating and hot water which is provided by the biomass boiler until September 2032.
