Set on its own private island within the River Lune, this exceptional retreat promises a truly memorable escape for group gatherings with a loyal hound or two. Hidden away within a gated estate at the far end of the scenic Crook O' Lune and accessed via a bridge, the house comes completer with a hot tub, sauna and swim spa.
Enter through the impressive double doors, and you're greeted by a vast hallway that sets the tone for what's to come. The wood-panelled billiards room features a full-size snooker table and classic Chesterfield seating, while the expansive lounge/diner brings everyone together around a large table for celebratory meals. A casino-style games room invites you to try your luck, before moving through to the sleek kitchen, where a central island also serves as a sociable breakfast bar. Film nights are taken to another level in the glass-roofed cinema room, complete with tiered seating and a popcorn machine. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom, along with a shower room/utility and a separate WC. The lower ground floor reveals a fully equipped hair salon. This level also houses three bedrooms: a twin with en-suite, a double, and a family room with two doubles, plus an additional shower room. Upstairs on the first floor, four more bedrooms await, including a king-size suite with its own balcony. There’s also a large family room, a double, a twin, and shared bathroom facilities. At the top of the house, there’s a beautiful king-size room with a four-poster bed, vaulted ceilings and window seats. The enclosed rear garden gives added peace of mind, with a lawn for zoomies and a patio set up for outdoor dining with a built-in BBQ. Challenge your group to a game of table tennis, or sink into the hot tub after a long walk, followed by time in the sauna or a dip in the swim spa.
The surrounding 6-acre grounds and riverbank are a dream for a curious canine, whether that’s splashing at the water’s edge, sniffing out new scents, or simply padding alongside you on a peaceful stroll. For bigger adventures, both the Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales lie within 30 miles, offering miles of open terrain for energetic paws. Closer to home, the seaside at Morecambe (7 miles) is great for breezy beach walks.
