A True English Gentleman Residence <br /><br />This is a grand mansion, built in the 1930s with no expense spared in the beautiful English Lake District. There are two wings, one wing is lived in by the owners and the west wing is available as a holiday home. The location was carefully chosen for it's outstanding views up the Wasdale valley to Great Gable and Scafell beyond.<br /> <br /> With amazing views of the Wasdale fells, Santon House is a fantastic starting point for hundreds of walks, either on the high fells or along the banks of the River that flows past the pub at Santon Bridge.<br /> <br /> The Santon Bridge Inn is just a 15 minute walk away and hosts the International “Greatest Liar” competition towards the end of the year. It also serves good food and fine ale. Wasdale (5 mins drive) also boasts England's deepest lake (Wastwater), highest mountain (Scafell) and smallest church (St Olaf's).<br /> <br /> Eskdale is another lovely valley, only 5 minutes drive away, with hundreds of river and mountain walks. It also houses a terminus for the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway - a popular miniature railway that travels seven scenic miles to the coastal fishing village of Ravenglass. Muncaster Castle, Gardens and Owl Centre is also 15 minutes away and has lots going on all year round.<br /> <br /> The splendid main entrance takes you to a magnificent hallway and staircase. The main sitting room has piano, open fire, TV & DVD player. Next to the sitting room is the drawing room with grand piano and outstanding views over the gardens and the fells beyond.<br /> <br /> The kitchen is opposite and equipped with electric hob and oven, microwave, fridge with freezer in the cloakroom next door. Next to the kitchen is the dining room, once again with fantastic views over to the Wasdale valley.<br /> <br /> There is also a cloakroom with WC downstairs.<br /> <br /> Upstairs are three bedrooms (one double and two twins), all good sizes with sinks in each of them.<br /> <br /> The bathroom upstairs has bath and separate shower. The WC is next door to the bathroom.<br /> <br /> Outside the grounds stretch to seven acres with colour most of the year, although May is the best time to visit when the rhododendrons and azaleas are a riot of colour. Aside from lawned gardens there is a patio area, orchard and wildflower meadow with (unfenced) ponds stocked with trout and carp. There is an abundance of bird life as well as deer, foxes, badgers and butterflies.<br /> <br /> When you come to stay at Santon House, you have a chance to live as a true country gentleman.
