A substantial Victorian residence with a rich and varied history, having served over the years as a gentleman’s residence, a country guest house, and now offering four well established holiday apartments comprising two one bedroom and two bedroom units, together with spacious and extensive ground floor owners’ accommodation.

A substantial Victorian residence with a rich and varied history, having served over the years as a gentleman’s residence, a country guest house, and now offering four well established holiday apartments comprising two one bedroom and two bedroom units, together with spacious and extensive ground floor owners’ accommodation.

While the property would benefit from investment, refurbishment, and modernisation, it presents an exceptional lifestyle and business opportunity, with income potential from the existing holiday lets.

In addition, we understand that planning permission has been submitted to allow the property to revert to use as a single principal residence, whilst also retaining the flexibility for its current mixed-use arrangement.

Nestled in approximately 6.25 acres of private natural and fellside garden bordering woodland with a delightful array of plants and bushes. Enjoying far reaching south facing fell and country views.

Dower House offers an unrivalled opportunity to fully immerse yourself in nature’s splendour. This is more than just a property – it’s a lifestyle choice. As you leave the M6 and head west, the journey itself becomes a scenic escape. Roads grow quieter, narrower, and more enchanting, winding through ever-more dramatic landscapes with the iconic Lakeland fells rising majestically on the horizon. This is a place where the pace of life slows and the natural surroundings have remained virtually untouched for centuries.

Whether you are seeking an inspiring base for active family life, a peaceful retreat for retirement, or an exciting investment opportunity, this property offers an exceptional combination of lifestyle and potential.

The surrounding landscape is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for rock climbing, high fell walking towards Scafell and beyond, as well as gentler valley strolls, all accessible directly from the doorstep and only a 15 minute drive to the Silecroft Beach.

Despite its relatively secluded setting, everyday amenities remain conveniently close by. The charming market town of Broughton-in-Furness provides a range of independent shops and services, including a butcher, traditional bakery, cafés, public houses, GP surgery, veterinary practice, and fuel station. Further afield, Ulverston offers a wider selection of amenities, including supermarkets such as Booths, M&S Food, and Aldi.

For visiting guests or leisurely day trips, many of the Lake District’s most celebrated destinations, including Wasdale, Eskdale, Coniston, Hawkshead, Bowness-on-Windermere, and Ambleside are all within comfortable reach, allowing you to enjoy the very best of the Lakes before returning to the peace and comfort of your own private retreat.
