1 Summerscales
Framed by the dramatic fells of Wasdale and surrounded by countryside, this home at Summerscales offers a lifestyle defined by space, elegance, and exclusivity. With only two of its kind available, it’s a rare opportunity to own a residence that blends timeless Lake District character with the very best of modern living.
This four-bedroom detached home has been crafted to exceptional standards using locally sourced materials, combining natural textures with contemporary design. The approach sets the tone: a block-paved driveway, landscaped gardens, and architectural detail that exudes presence and style.
Inside, light and space flow effortlessly. The kitchen — complete with a striking central island — is a statement in both function and design, the perfect setting for relaxed family breakfasts or sophisticated evening entertaining. Expansive doors open onto the gardens, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living, while a dedicated utility room ensures practicality is never compromised.
Generous living areas, a large bay window with sweeping fell views, and French doors opening onto the garden create a seamless connection between home and landscape, while carefully considered finishes elevate every moment of daily life into something extraordinary.
Upstairs, the master suite is a private retreat with its own ensuite and breathtaking fell views. Additional bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom offer space and versatility for family, guests, or a home office, ensuring this property adapts effortlessly to modern life.
Beyond the home, Gosforth offers charming cafés and restaurants, independent shops, and welcoming pubs, with countryside walks leading directly to the dramatic fells and sparkling lakes of the Lake District. Summerscales is more than a house — it’s a luxurious home, a stage for memories, and a lifestyle few ever get to enjoy.
