Ravenbridge Mill, located in Penrith, Cumbria, is an extraordinary vacation home set within 21 acres of stunning natural beauty. This six-bedroom house accommodates up to 12 guests and offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern amenities. Nestled at the foot of the fells, the property features its own lake, river, woods, and orchards, providing a serene environment where guests can enjoy picturesque views from every window, with no other houses in sight. The outdoor wood-fired sauna by the lake and a separate games studio enhance the experience, making it an ideal location for a magical holiday.
The history of Ravenbridge Mill dates back to 1675, beginning as a small cottage with an adjoining corn mill. The original structure was built by local farmers who sought an alternative to the high milling fees imposed by their landlord. Over the years, the house expanded to include two barns and a byre, which now serves as a games room. The interior boasts a spacious family kitchen equipped with modern appliances and a large dining table, while the cozy sitting room features a wood-burning stove that creates a warm atmosphere. The house includes four double bedrooms and two twin rooms, each uniquely named to reflect their history, providing a personal touch to the accommodations.
Outside, the expansive grounds of Ravenbridge Mill offer a wealth of activities and natural beauty. The stone-walled courtyard garden, complete with seating and a fire pit, is perfect for relaxation. Guests can enjoy various outdoor amenities, including a trampoline, badminton net, and boats for use on the lake. The sauna, hidden among the trees, is a favorite spot for guests looking to unwind. The surrounding landscape invites exploration, with opportunities for fruit picking, nature walks, and building shelters in the woods. The property is also a prime location for cycling enthusiasts, as it sits at the base of Hartside Pass, a popular route for cyclists tackling the Coast2coast challenge.
Ravenbridge Mill's location offers easy access to the breathtaking scenery of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Lake District. Guests can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling, fishing, and swimming. The nearby town of Alston and the stunning views from Hartside Pass provide additional exploration opportunities. With local amenities such as grocery stores in Lazonby and Penrith, as well as the proximity to larger towns like Carlisle and Keswick, Ravenbridge Mill is not only a retreat into nature but also a convenient base for discovering the rich landscapes and attractions of this beautiful region in the North of England.
