Dufton Hall is a stunning Grade II listed, attached period family residence, nestled in the heart of the upper Eden Valley, offering easy access to Penrith and set amidst breathtaking countryside. This beautiful home, part of the historic Howard/Greystoke Family estate, dates back to the 12th Century, with the current property being a late 17th Century gem. It has been a cherished family home for over 30 years, meticulously maintained and enhanced with a comprehensive renovation and modernization program. The property boasts a wealth of original features, including a carved sandstone porticoed doorway, oak panelling, doors, and woodwork, as well as an impressive oak "dog leg" staircase. The interior is rich with period charm, featuring decorative plaster mouldings, sandstone pillars, and an Inglenook fireplace in the welcoming reception hallway. The kitchen dining room, sitting room, games room, and a downstairs shower room are accessible from this central space, with a study offering additional privacy and a potential connection to the rear of the building. Upstairs, the property offers four double bedrooms and a fifth single bedroom, with the flexibility to expand into the attic space, which features exposed seventeenth-century "A" frame oak beams. The master bedroom has the option to be enhanced with an adjacent dressing room or ensuite, further adding to the property's versatility. The first-floor bathroom is a luxurious retreat, complete with a seven-piece suite, a freestanding bath, and a mezzanine level with a Jacuzzi and sauna, all with views of the surrounding fells. Situated just off the village green, Dufton Hall is surrounded by mature formal gardens that have been thoughtfully designed for low maintenance, featuring beech hedging, lawns, a pond, and a wetland area that attracts wildlife. A hidden workshop with electric gates, biomass boiler system, and subsidized heating and hot water contributions through RHI grant payments until 2034, offers additional space and potential income. This magnificent property is a rare opportunity for a discerning buyer and a viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the grandeur and character on offer.
