Are you ready for some peace and tranquillity in a superbly equipped, luxurious house with stunning views in the beautiful Eskdale Valley? Somewhere you can wander through bluebell woods, watch lambs gambolling in the fields, swim in the crystal clear waters of the River Esk, sit and dream beside sparkling waterfalls, climb England's highest mountains, play golf on what must be the prettiest course in England, watch buzzards soar overhead, observe deer, foxes and badgers at dawn or dusk, listen to the owls hooting, experience the valley ablaze with autumn colours, and return to relax in front of cheerful log fires, have a sing-song round the piano or share a meal with family and friends around the impressive dining room table.
