The Old Vicarage - Morland

Step back in time at this expansive manor house nestled in 4 acres of meticulously landscaped gardens with panoramic views of the Pennines. Located in the charming village of Morland in the heart of the picturesque Eden Valley, modern comforts and historic charm meet in perfect harmony at this spacious home that’s perfect for a group gathering accompanied by a couple of furry friends.

Inside, the oak-panelled hall transports you to a bygone era. On the ground floor, a cosy sitting area with a wood burner awaits in the inner hall, while the large drawing room boasts comfortable seating for 19, a grand piano, and a working fireplace the Fido is sure to adore. The dining room, with its splendid mahogany table, seats 16 and features an open fire for an inviting atmosphere. The kitchen, furnished with a beautiful oak dresser and a grandfather clock, provides a delightful space for informal meals at the breakfast table. The utility room, snug, cloakroom, and games room complete the ground floor. The nine first-floor bedrooms are equally as characterful as the rest of the house, offering en-suite facilities or access to three family bathrooms. Outside, a private enclosed lawned garden with a patio, table, chairs, and a BBQ provides the perfect place for a game of fetch. The house gardens, open to the public, feature 4 acres of lawns, a kitchen garden and a rose garden. There are also riverside walks, waterfalls, a secret Victorian quarry rock garden, a croquet lawn and bike storage.

In Morland, you’ll find a lovely cafe just around the corner and an inviting dog-friendly pub less than 3 miles away. Alternatively, immerse yourself in the historic ambience of Appleby, 7 miles away. For a day in the Lake District National Park (6 miles), explore Lowther Castle, paddleboard on Ullswater, or take a steamer trip to the enchanting Aira Force waterfall, all of which can be enjoyed with your canine companions by your side.
