Thoughtfully positioned to balance seclusion with convenience, Meadow Brow Estate offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty, tranquility and distinctive character of the Lake District, while remaining just minutes from Grasmere’s cafés, celebrated walking routes and rich cultural heritage. Crafted in collaboration with skilled local craftsmen and leading interior designers, an extensive and sensitive restoration has re-imagined this imposing Victorian residence as a timelessly elegant luxury retreat—an exceptional home from home, created to be enjoyed by generations of families and longstanding friends.
From the front entrance, steps lead into the welcoming main hallway. To the left sits a well-appointed utility room with washer, dryer, sink and generous hanging space. Adjacent is an elegant lounge, centred around a characterful wood-burning stove, complemented by a large wall-mounted TV, sumptuous soft furnishings and solid oak furniture. A thoughtfully positioned writing desk captures inspiring views towards Stone Arthur, while the adjoining library is a reader’s delight—the perfect place to curl up with a favourite book or enjoy one from the curated collection. A side door from the library provides direct access to the outdoors and more of that wonderful view. To the right of the hallway, and a few steps down, lies the heart of this beautiful home: a spectacular open-plan dining kitchen and living space designed for sociable gatherings. Deep cushioned sofas sit beside another warming wood-burning stove, while French doors open out to the terraces, inviting al fresco dining when Lakeland weather permits. Solid oak cabinets house twin dishwashers, microwave, coffee machine, fridge, freezer and a dual-fuel range cooker with six burners and double ovens. This exceptional space is perfectly suited to long, leisurely breakfasts and memorable dinners with family and friends. Beyond the kitchen, a boot room leads to the rear of the house, with stairs descending to a superb cinema room featuring an enormous TV, cosy seating and a popcorn maker. This unique and inviting space will ensure movie nights are a hit with guests of all ages. The first floor hosts a cloakroom with hand basin and WC, along with the first of five exquisite bedroom suites. The master suite is a super-king bedroom with its own private patio overlooking the grounds. The marble en-suite features twin sinks, WC and a freestanding bath with shower attachment, perfectly positioned in front of the bay window to enjoy the views. Suite two is a charming kingsize room with some limited head height, is accessed via a narrow spiral staircase. Its en-suite bathroom sits at the foot of the stairs and includes a deep bath with shower over, basin and WC. Suite three offers a unique two-storey layout, with a dressing area and en-suite walk-in shower room on the first floor. A private staircase leads to the king-size bedroom above, beautifully styled with an elegant banquette-style bed and a freestanding roll-top bath—perfect for indulgent, relaxing soaks. Suite four is a spacious super-king bedroom with en-suite shower room, basin and WC. Suite five features a king-size bed and a luxurious en-suite wet room with walk-in shower, freestanding bath, basin and WC.
Outside, a series of terraces and sweeping lawns provide ideal spots for outdoor living and enjoyment when the weather allows. Beyond, the estate’s beautifully manicured two acres of grounds are yours to explore, offering panoramic views and an ever-changing Lakeland landscape.
There are also two other apartments on the estate, which can be booked alongside this property. These are called The Lion and The Lamb.
