CALTHWAITE HALL

Calthwaite Hall is an imposing Victorian “Gentleman’s Residence’ set in mature grounds of around 9 acres. Situated mid-way between Penrith and Carlisle, with easy access to main transport links and within striking distance of the Lake District National Park this is a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial Victorian Hall, with excellent established wedding and holiday business.

Built in 1837 Calthwaite Hall is solidly constructed of local sandstone, the property has been extensively refurbished and modernised by the current vendor, whilst maintaining the original features of the Gothic style architecture. The property is further enhanced by the extensive work which has gone into developing the wedding and holiday businesses, including the recent completion of a purpose-built Orangery with commercial kitchen and bar and 9 luxury lodges.

Both businesses have a healthy pipeline of bookings for 2022 and 2023, business information can be supplied upon request.

The grounds are immaculate and include a recently resurfaced ménage, horse paddocks, stables and immaculate formal gardens surrounding the main Hall, providing a perfect backdrop for wedding photographs.

CALTHWAITE HALL The main hall sits in private well stocked gardens, approached by a sweeping drive, with security gated access. The garden comprises formal lawn to the front with pond and private enclosed courtyard to the rear with heated outdoor swimming pool and separate plant room.

In addition to the hall being a private residence it has a full licence and has been used for select wedding events, it is able to cater for up to 80 visiting guests during the daytime and 150 evening guests and can provide sleeping accommodation for 17. Larger events can be accommodated in the Orangery in the grounds.

The hall would lend itself to easy conversion, the main hall being used as full-time guest accommodation, with the west wing forming self-contained, owners accommodation.
