Build a country house in the Lake District National Park
An opportunity has arisen to construct a breathtaking architect-designed property in the Lake District National Park with views over Lake Windermere

Planning permission has been obtained to build an outstanding contemporary country house in the Lake District National Park overlooking Lake Windermere. The house has been architect-designed and will have five bedrooms, four reception rooms, a leisure complex with a 60ft indoor heated swimming pool and gymnasium together with a separate two storey detached six car garage.
The property will be set in an extremely mature private garden which extends to two acres and there are direct views over one of the best-loved lakes in Britain, Lake Windermere. The planning permission has been granted free from any occupancy restrictions and offers a fantastic one-off opportunity to build in an area which has little in the way of modern development.
