Blencowe Hall

A multi award-winning exceptional Grade I listed, fortified manor dating back to the 1400s that has undergone extensive renovation, bringing the two embattled Peele towers back into use for the first time in more than 300 years. Blencowe Hall sits on a bluff above the small river Petteril and is encompassed by its own gardens, grounds and fields incorporating access to the river.

It has views to the nearby Lakeland fells and across the rolling Eden Valley fields.

Blencowe Hall won an English Heritage Construction Conservation Award which was accorded to the 20 most outstanding projects undertaken with their supervision in 2008, an Eden District Design Award, the NWDA Conservation Award and the RICS National Conservation Award. It is 5 Star Gold Award rated by Visit England.

This property features oak panelling and beams, ancient masonry walls and doorways, spiral stone staircases, four poster beds, and Juliet balconies, as well as modern living comforts such as LCD television, DVD player, iPod docking system and telephone. There is sustainable wood chip central heating, and the Billiards Room has a gas fired open fronted cast stove.

The owners would be happy for the guests to hire a hot tub at the property. This can be arranged with Cumbria Hot Tub Hire - 07703 046523 or info@cumbriahottubhire.co.uk. The owners will ask for a £30 surcharge to be added to the reservation to cover the cost of extra water and electricity used.
