Spectacularly positioned above Grasmere enjoying unrivalled panoramic views, The Wyke must surely be one of the Lake District's most beautifully located estates enjoying seclusion and privacy right in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Situated half a mile from the renowned Lakeland village of Grasmere, the estate includes a five bedroom period house with a one bedroom attached cottage, outbuildings, formal gardens, and is set in approximately 60 acres of land including deciduous woodland, fell, three paddocks and approximately 100 yards of frontage to the lake. We understand the property was constructed in 1801 with the extension in 1856.
The house itself has been carefully located to take in the fabulous views of the central Lake District fells including Lord Crag, Heron Pike, Great Rigg, Fairfield and Seat Sandal together with the well known view of Helm Crag with the rock formation of the Lion and the Lamb being prominent to its peak. Enabling a new owner to create a stylish and comfortable home of significance, the property has been extended with the formation of two splendid wings and a cottage to the rear which can be incorporated into the main residence if required. The current owner has drawn up plans to reconfigure the interior of the central portion of the property providing more versatile accommodation taking advantage of the views, and to provide for more appropriate current living styles.
For those moments of retreat, one can take advantage of the estate itself with delightful walks through the ever changing woodland and with access leading down to the lake from where dinghies and rowing boats may be launched. In all The Wyke is an extremely rare property within one of the country's most popular national parks and which must be regarded as a world class situation.
The accommodation briefly comprises; entrance vestibule, cloaks, hallway, drawing room, living room, study, dining room, breakfast kitchen, utility, pantry and larder. To the first floor there is a master bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom, four further bedrooms, a shower room, bathroom and cloaks with the cottage to the rear having a sitting/dining room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. In addition there is a cellar, fuel stores and double garage. Within the extensive gardens which have been landscaped, there are shrubs and plants with rhododendrons and azaleas with a pathway leading up to a folly.
