Property Description

Ditch the Desk, Keep the 6-Figure Income. This is a 17th-century farmhouse and boutique B&B combined into one breathtaking 10-bed estate. With 4 acres, alpacas, and a hot tub with spectacular fell views, this is country living with real commercial clout. Why settle for weekends in the Lakes when you could live AND make your living here full-time? At Bolton Head Farm and 1692 Wasdale, you get the best of both worlds – a historic family home and a successful boutique B&B, all wrapped into one stunning ten-bedroom estate with masses of potential. Lets start with the numbers. The B&B side-1692 Wasdale-is a proven performer, with a turnover of almost 250,000 in 2023. Featured (and victorious) on Channel 4s Four in a Bed, its a ready-made, profitable business with glowing reviews and loyal returning guests. Converted from barns dating back to the 17th century, the B&B offers contemporaryaccommodation. Each of the six guest rooms is individually styled and finished to an exceptional standard with Porcelanosa bathrooms, underfloor heating, and bespoke touches throughout. The Stone Suite features bifold doors, a private patio, and a copper-themed luxury bathroom on a glass mezzanine. The Cairn Suite has east-facing valley views and a deep stone resin bath – perfect after a day on the fells. The Tarn Suite is bright and lofty with flagstone floors and direct access from the reception. The Fells Suite is the largest, with a silver freestanding bath, west-facing views, and striking contour tiling. The Herdwick Suite has a sleek walk-in shower and a private patio accessed via the guest lounge. The Collie Suite offers flexibility for families (when booked in conjunction with The Herdwick Suite), with dual-aspect views, underfloor heating, and oak flooring. Guests also enjoy the vaulted dining room, contemporary lounge with feature fire and apex beams, an honesty bar, and a large hot tub with views stretching over the Wasdale Valley and out to the Isle of Man. And then theres the farmhouse itself. Bolton Head Farmhouse is full of Cumbrian country charm -with exposed beams, wood-burning stoves, and thick stone walls. There are four generous double bedrooms (one with an ensuite), a stylish four-piece family bathroom, a cozy snug, a lounge, a large kitchen-diner, a wine cellar, a utility room, a WC, and a boot room. Everything you need for family life, with more than a touch of Lakeland character. Outside, the estate extends to around 4 acres – including an orchard, formal gardens, a large parking area, and multiple outbuildings. Theres a home office (with attached linen store), a large barn/workshop, and a separate agricultural building with further development potential (subject to planning). The former slurry pit even has planning permission in place to become a swimming pool. And yes, there are alpacas. Four of them. And they can also be included, subject to negotiation. The setting is just as special. A world away from the busy south and central lakes, the westerly side of the national park is a wild & rugged gem offering walks and activities for all abilities. Youre on the edge of the Wasdale Valley – home to Englands highest mountain (Scafell Pike) and deepest lake (Wastwater). The nearby village of Gosforth offers everything from a top-rated bakery and welcoming pubs to an excellent nursery and primary school. Five miles away in Seascale, youll find rail links, beach access, and additional amenities, while Whitehaven and Cockermouth are both within easy reach for Georgian architecture, shopping, and schools. Whether youre looking to continue the thriving hospitality business, convert the B&B into a second separate dwelling, or develop a wellness retreat with no local rival, this is a rare opportunity to live, work, and grow in one of the UKs most spectacular locations.
