The most expensive home for sale in Coniston boasts ten acres of ancient woodland.
Knipewood is the highest-priced property in Coniston listed for sale on Rightmove.
This charming home is being marketed by Hackney & Leigh for £1.35 million.
Added to the property website on 9 April, Knipewood is described as a 'real beauty.'
Situated on the east side of Coniston Water, the property provides expansive views that sweep across the lake to the Coniston fells.
John Ruskin, the famous art critic who once resided at Brantwood next door, reportedly described the view as "the best in England."
The house itself is a four-bedroom property with two reception rooms and a study.
It has a spacious, light-filled hallway upon entry, which leads into a sitting room with a full-width bay window looking out to the stunning views.
A separate dining room with the same view can accommodate up to ten around its main table.
A rear hallway (with back door to the garden) leads through to the large family kitchen, which is fully fitted with built-in cupboards and appliances.
It offers a picturesque view over the garden.
The property also offers an independent one-bedroom studio cottage.
The agents point out: "Perfect for dependent relatives or guests.
"If desired, it would also make a wonderful designated workspace for those lucky enough to be able to work from home in such enviable surroundings."
The gardens, affectionately described by the agents as "an absolute delight," envelop the house, featuring several seating spots to soak in the views.
A tiered lawn is dotted with flower beds, shrubs, and mature trees, crisscrossed by two small streams that pass under quaint bridges, one of which flows through a sizeable lined pond.
The verdant spaces are said to be at their best in springtime when the snowdrops, daffodils, rhododendrons, azaleas, and camellias are in full bloom.
The ten acres of ancient woodland that come with the property enclose the garden on two sides.
The woods extend to the boundary with Grizedale Forest.
