Dating back to the early 1600s, the Grade II Listed Bordriggs Farm has been modernised and extended over the years, maintaining its character and charm with traditional random rubble walls, a round Westmorland chimney, oak details highlighted in the ceiling beams, doors, and windows.

Versatile and packed with potential, this impressive 5-bedroom family home is currently a highly successful holiday let, with the bonus of the adjacent 1-bedroom 'Stable Cottage' also being let out. An additional barn is ripe for conversion, and with just under 3.5 acres, Bordriggs promises abundant opportunities, inside and out.
Serene and peaceful, yet mere moments away, you will reach the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist towns of Bowness and Windermere beyond. Bordriggs Farm really is the best of both worlds!

Pull up along the elegant curve of the circular driveway where the beauty of the home is accentuated by the picture-perfect blossom tree, standing centre stage. A welcoming home indeed.

Find plenty of parking in front of the chocolate box exterior, keeping the hidden depths of the home at bay until you step in through the side stable door into the kitchen.
A traditional farmhouse style bespoke Webbs kitchen waits inside, where practicality meets period. Oak Sable-coloured beams adorn the ceiling, highlighted in the tones of the granite and Corian worktop that sparkle under the spotlit ceiling. Cream cabinetry provides storage for all your cooking necessities, and the electric oven, hob, and dishwasher allow every meal to be effortless. Children and guests can sit at the large central island whilst the host cooks up a storm, chatting and reminiscing.
Warmth emanates from the Aga, enhancing the warm and cosy feel. Note the country cottage-style windows that allow the sunlight to seep in.

The sizeable pantry, adjacent, extends the kitchen storage, making for a perfect spot for the washing machine, dryer, and large fridge freezer. Ideal for hosting.
Just off the kitchen, discover a versatile room; currently used as a bedroom but would also make a fantastic playroom to keep kids' toys at a minimum, or an office for those working from home.

Continue your journey into the hub of the home - the open-plan dining and living room. A spot to come together, to eat, and to rest. This grand room showcases the home's fine features in an original spice cupboard, elegant oak window seat, sturdy rustic beams above, dual aspect windows that frame the views of meadow and mountain, as well as a cosy focal log burner to gather around.

Pop through the door and discover an extension to the home for visitors, family, or as a business opportunity. Herringbone flooring extends underfoot into the living space with ample space for living, dining, and is complete with a classic kitchenette. Step out through the double doors onto the decking and take a quick dip in the hot tub.
Spot the handy downstairs WC before heading upstairs to the most beautiful bedroom. Set beneath more handsome beams, find a luxurious four-poster bed standing opposite a raised bathing area where a double shower and a wow-factor freestanding copper bath with floral inlay stand! Quite an extraordinary room.

Retrace your steps to the main hall and ascend the stairs to the sleeping quarters. The large landing adds extra space to this airy and sumptuous home, leading into the linen cupboard, three double bedrooms, and a family bathroom.

Take the first door and be presented with a good-sized double room. Bedroom 2, a lovely-sized double with built-in wardrobes and en-suite shower room, lies next door. Both bedrooms make for calming havens to unwind in with pretty views of the lush green countryside beyond. A further door in bedroom 2 links through to the separate annexe, showcasing the versatility and flexibility that Bordriggs has to offer.
The family bathroom with WC, heated towel rail, underfloor heating, double sinks, oval bathtub, and separate shower is a luxurious room to refresh in.

Dreamy and simply stunning, step into the master bedroom to discover an extraordinary raised open-plan bathroom finished to the highest specification, where glistening tiles surround the double shower and a freestanding standout copper tub commands attention and promises relaxation and romance. It's a bedroom of dreams, and with the addition of built-in wardrobes providing tons of storage, you will be right at home here.

Stable Cottage
Adjacent to the main home is 'Stable Cottage', a stunning 1-bedroom retreat with separate access. This beautiful self-contained annexe, currently used as a holiday let, would be perfect for visiting guests or dependent relatives.
Feel instantly welcome as you step into the open-plan farmhouse-style kitchen diner. Perch at the practical and feature-rich central island, which provides prep space and storage for dishes and pans. Reach for a glass from the open shelving, fill it with your favourite tipple, and make yourself comfortable at the dining table beside the mullion window whilst the water begins to boil on the hob and the roast cooks in the built-in oven.

Flow through to the comfy and cosy sitting room, where you can put up weary feet after a day of exploring the fells.

Just as in the main home, the bedroom and bathroom, found upstairs, are a sanctuary for those visiting. The spacious double bedroom in classic green hues mirrors the surrounding countryside, creating a relaxing space to sleep. The bathroom is designed with comfort and elegance in mind. Ease into the standalone oval bathtub and enjoy a sumptuous soak; a shower, WC, and vanity unit with washbasin completes the space.

Gardens and Grounds
The outside of Bordriggs is equally unique, with 3.5 acres of land laid mainly to lawn and patio with meadowland and fields beyond. Perhaps you are itching to live off the land or start a small holding with chickens and goats, well, Bordriggs is the ideal spot to achieve your dreams.

There is something for everyone in the gardens of Bordriggs, with patios to relax and bask in the warmth of the sun, a lush green lawn that children will run wild on, and for those who would prefer to sit in the shade catching up on your latest novel then there's areas for you too. Even with the ever-changing weather and seasons, the hot tub is on hand for refreshment and relaxation. Of course, these quiet spots work just as well when having friends and family over for summer BBQs and celebrations.

Softened by the mature evergreens, roses, azaleas, and rhododendrons that fill the flowerbeds along with the surrounding fields, the outside space is calm and serene, promising visits from wildlife and a beautiful space to return home to after a busy day.
Note the feature blossom tree that leaves a sprinkling of confetti on the manicured lawn and the enormous boulder, pulled from Lake Windermere some years ago, and now a nod to the rustic charm that surrounds you.

A wonderful quality of the gardens and grounds is that they are incredibly low maintenance, ideal if you were considering continuing to run it as a holiday let.
If you wish to live sustainably, look no further than the spacious barn, hosting numerous possibilities featuring striking rafters, providing so much storage and workshop space, and perhaps could be used for additional living, another holiday let, or somewhere to house the animals; the choice is yours.
Bordriggs isn't just a home, it's so much more!
