For the plot, not the house.
Can't be long before next door is torn down as well.

Ah yes, they are. Wondered who was reopening that as I’m pretty local. Nice location… The Askam owners own a couple of other places too George and dragon etc I think…. Prob decided it’s easier to make proper restaurant money in the actual national park though ..although clearly not short of a bob or two anyway. In the olden days the Lakes were quiet about now in Feb, especially there, but no longer. I went for walk this morning out the front door after dropping the kids at school and the saga middle class retired crew were out in force in their new Patagucci jackets and Osprey bags.

Askham Hall is G1 listed (with G2 gardens), and the owners can't afford the upkeep and the wage bill.

Their new wedding venue (with the Michelin starred restaurant) is only about five miles away, and they're adding 16 bedrooms to the George and Dragon, which is a out 2 miles away, so anyone who buys the Hall will have stiff - established - competition and a huge annual maintenance bill

You would REALLY need to like golf to drop £7m on that.

Agree entirely. Can’t see it selling with v significant reduction.

By the way. Have we had this? Probably but I’m too lazy to check. It’s the south side of Ullswater too so you can walk to their new restaurant

Happy to move in once the fxxk bucket is ripped out, some of the modern tat and lighting is deleted and the one wall wallpaper cliche gets a painting over.

I assume that some future rental value is baked into that price tag

I'm not sure if this belongs in here, it's certainly not pawn at the moment. It's a hell of a place though and in some beautiful countryside. I've driven and rode past it umpteen times and I'm currently doing insane levels of man maths to figure out how I could afford it...

I think the placement of the bathroom cabinet is genius. The mould, less so...

I have canoed past a few times - a lovely building from the river. Askham is great as well, and not far to Penrith. I do think you might get some motorway noise though...hmm.
A pig in a poke, I fear.
It has been taken off the market one day after going on.

It would take a brave person to open that toilet lid...

I went to school with the girl who lived there - albeit many years ago. Back then it was old barns, all but a farmyard, and a rather lovely old house.

I can appreciate it for what it is - a grand property.

Does nothing for me as a place of my own.
