anyway, Lake District and its a beauty!

£3.5m

Yep - rather nice that, although the outside is a little dark and dowdy for me

Used in a tv show recently? Lake District? Son or a daughter went missing or something?

I thought that for a moment, but there are plenty of houses around there built in that stone, and in that vernacular.

Deep Water with Anna Freil.

It looks similar but yes I think maybe not the same.

Correct. It’s near Hawkshead.

It's Leasehold. I'm out.

I saw that. Quite surprised for a property of that type. Who owns the freehold I wonder?

Is that a common practice in the area?

Lovely property otherwise.

Graythwaite Estate are huge landowners on the West side of the lake.

12 Acres a stones throw from Epsom race course?

6 Beds
£2.999M

Needs some serious modernisation work, but that stable complex could hold a hell of a car collection

It's hucking fugly and that stable block may only accommodate Fiat 500s, smart cars and invalid carriages.

Yes, the house from the Deep Water drama on ITV last year.

It is a beauty.

Not for me either. The lake’s a nice feature, but the budget hotel architecture and tacky entrance gates/railings etc are big negatives for me. And the adjacent council gravel store doesn’t help.

Funnily that is a big plus for me, not the gravel but that’s an old railway line made into a path that goes for miles
Great for before mentioned dogs

Except none of those stables are deep enough to house a car so you would need to extend everyone one them somehow! Stables are not often big enough for cars.

There's the same running past my back fence, so you can get that without spending all that cash!

Mine actually goes past my parents house if you carry on for 100 miles or so.

That's gotta be a short lease because even as a Cumbrian, that is cheap!

We can agree on the dog walking benefits of that place at least

Nice lake, the rest is a bit Gypsy.

it reminds me of some odd properties we saw in Norfolk many years ago. We called them bank robbers houses

Are you a millenial? "Invalid carriages" were a thing and tricky to airbrush from history.

Quite a creepy thing, as it happens. There used to be an old lady near us who had a very shabby one with rain cover and her skeletal features peering through the screen used to scare the bejesus out of us as children.

We used to call them “light blue Sp***er-mobiles”, well, those light blue three wheeler ones anyways.
