Full Description: <p>A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional Grade I Listed mansion house occupying a convenient position on the west Cumbrian coast, set within beautifully landscaped grounds. Dating from 1620, the property has been extended to the rear and has most recently operated as a successful hotel.</p><p><strong>Importantly, this is not simply a hotel opportunity. The property could also make an exceptional and highly individual family home</strong>, subject to the necessary consents. With its substantial accommodation, generous grounds, period features and impressive entertaining spaces, it offers the scale and flexibility to create a truly unique private residence.</p><p>The property is approached via a sweeping driveway, with attractive gardens surrounding the mansion to create a private and picturesque setting. To the side is a substantial summer house, which could provide an excellent entertaining space, home office, studio, gym or additional leisure area. A walled paddock to the eastern boundary provides further land and potential, subject to planning.</p><p>The main house retains a wealth of charm and character. A grand entrance hall and reception area leads to a newly installed bar on the right and a spacious dining room to the left. A commercial kitchen is also installed, while an original wooden staircase provides access to the upper floors.</p><p>Currently configured as a hotel, the property offers 13 generously proportioned en-suite guest bedrooms, including three impressive four-poster rooms. There is also potential to create a further two bedrooms on the top floor, potentially forming a substantial family suite, subject to the necessary consents.</p><p>Over the past three years, the restaurant, bar and many guest areas have been extensively refurbished, while a number of the bedrooms have also been updated. This provides a fantastic foundation for a purchaser looking to continue the existing hospitality use, explore an alternative commercial venture or, subject to the relevant permissions, transform the property into an impressive family residence.</p><p>EV charging facilities have been installed to the rear for hotel guests.</p><p>The whole site is held within two separate Land Registry title numbers, with the relevant title plans available within the property particulars.</p>
