The Property
Woodside House is a traditional Cumbrian farmhouse with range of outbuildings surrounded by glorious and peaceful countryside within the Lake District National Park. The property is situated in a private location with excellent access to the Western Lakes and pretty coastline with quiet beaches. Internally, the property has light and airy accommodation which is flexible and well laid out with generously proportioned rooms. There are period features such as exposed beams and fireplaces, and there is huge potential to create a wonderful country home.

Externally
The approach to Woodside House is via a private country lane and through open countryside. To the front of the house are large expanses of lawn, screened by mature hedges, and to the rear is a traditional farmyard with the outbuildings to either side, making a nice courtyard setting.

The extensive range of outbuildings provide excellent opportunities for stabling, garaging and storage. There is also the possibility of development, subject to planning permission. There is further land adjoining the property with around 20-30 acres available by separate negotiation.

Local Information
Woodside House is surrounded by spectacular unspoiled countryside within the Lake District National Park. The property is perfectly positioned for exploring in this beautiful area, with a fantastic range of outdoor activities available both from the doorstep and in the vicinity, such as hiking and mountain biking up the 600-metre high Black Combe. The beaches at Bootle and Silecroft are within a few minutes drive, whilst the market town of Broughton-in-Furness is close by.

Also easily accessible via pretty drives are the River Duddon, Corney Fell, Coniston Water, the Furness Peninsula, Furness Abbey, The Dock Museum, Walney Island Nature Reserve, Piel Island and the Cumbrian Coastal Way. Muncaster Castle and "La'al Ratty" miniature steam railway at Ravenglass all make for wonderful days out as do the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, the Aquarium of the Lakes and steam boat cruises on Windermere.

For schooling there is Waberthwaite C of E Primary School and both a primary school and secondary schooling available in Millom. Primary schooling is also available in Broughton, along with a nursery. There are train links from Bootle, Ravenglass and Millom, with local trains to regional centres, and onward to all national centres.
