Description
Sitting in an elevated and standalone position, enjoying breathtaking fell views and with a three acre paddock, this beautifully presented, detached Lakeland home sits on the edge of the picturesque village of Dockray. The property has been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a spacious and versatile home finished to an exceptional standard.
With its peaceful setting close to Ullswater and Aira Force, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home in the heart of the Lake District National Park.
Occupying a superb position on the edge of Dockray, Fauld Riggs offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity within one of the Lake District’s most sought-after and unspoilt locations. Surrounded by open countryside and with direct access to some of the area’s most celebrated walking routes, including those leading to Ullswater and the dramatic Aira Force waterfalls, Helvellyn, Great Dodd, and Sheffield Pike. The property perfectly balances tranquillity with adventure. Whether enjoying peaceful mornings in the garden overlooking the fells, or stepping out to explore the surrounding landscape, Fauld Riggs provides a rare chance to embrace the very best of Lakeland living in a home of comfort, style, and character.
The ground floor comprises a characterful boot room, inner hallway, a ground floor bedroom, shower room, a well-appointed kitchen with AGA and island unit, a cosy lounge extending into the dining room with French doors leading onto a side terrace. A recently added sunroom sits to the rear with views over the rear paddock and access to terraces on both sides. The ground floor is completed by a utility room. Steps lead from here to a flexible store room, ideal as home office, playroom or home gym.
On the first floor there are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the principal bedroom featuring a vaulted ceiling and fitted wardrobes, with all windows on the first floor framing the magnificent views to the dramatic Lakeland Fells.
Externally the home enjoys wonderful gardens and terraces, surrounded by a dramatic backdrop. The gardens are well stocked with an abundance of trees and shrubs, making it a haven for wildlife. To the side there are a number of raised beds, a high quality Polytunnel and chicken coop. Access to the field is either through the garden or independently through a gate from the roadside. In addition to this, there is direct access onto the fell via a private gate at the top of the field. The gardens and land offer a wonderful opportunity to be self-sufficient and embrace the rural lifestyle!
