Windermere, Cumbria LA23

Lot 3 - tarn house
Tarn House occupies an exceptionally private and unique setting, sitting on the edge of its own lake, Middlerigg Tarn, and surrounded by approximately 16 acres of land. With direct frontage to the water, the house enjoys a peaceful outlook and a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find in the Lake District.
Constructed in the 1960s/1970s, the three-bedroom Tarn House offers well-balanced accommodation, ideally suited to family living, and also has a double berth boathouse under the building. The property offers significant scope for redevelopment to enhance its position, outlook and setting.

The Tarn House occupies a highly desirable position on the shores of its own lake, Middlerigg Tarn, located at the heart of the Lake District National Park. The Lake District is one of England's most distinctive and historic landscapes, designated as a unesco world heritage site, characterised by rugged fells, ancient woodland, and dramatic glacial valleys and lakes. The estate offers a rare combination of accessibility and seclusion, enjoying a strong sense of rural privacy amid some of the nation's most celebrated scenery.
The nearby village of Troutbeck Bridge provides everyday amenities including local shops and traditional public houses, while the larger town of Windermere offers a wider range of facilities. These include a selection of shops, cafés and restaurants, together with a selection of wellregarded primary and secondary schools. Notable schools in the area include Windermere School, Sedbergh School and St Bees School, all of which have excellent reputations.
The surrounding countryside is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and offers exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation. Lake Windermere offers opportunities for sailing and water sports, while the wider area is well suited to walking, riding and cycling.
Despite its peaceful and secluded setting, the Tarn House remains well connected. Windermere railway station connects to Oxenholme Lake District station, from which direct mainline services run to London Euston in approximately 2 hours 40 minutes. Manchester airport is accessible in approximately 90 minutes, and the M6 connects the area both to the north and south.
