Keswick, CA12

Welcome to Fieldside Manor — A Grand Restoration Opportunity in The Lake District Nation Park

Set against the breath-taking backdrop of the Lake District National Park, Fieldside Manor offers a rare and inspiring opportunity to acquire a substantial period home in one of the UK’s most cherished locations. With its impressive proportions, elegant architectural features, and sprawling private grounds extending to approximately 3.35 acres, this landmark property is a canvas for those with the vision and ambition to restore a house of real historical substance.

 Fieldside Manor stands proudly on the eastern outskirts of Keswick, quietly tucked away yet within easy reach of the town’s thriving amenities, acclaimed eateries and renowned schools. The home itself, though in need of full renovation, retains a rich sense of heritage, with large sash windows, high ceilings, fireplaces and traditional details throughout that hint at its former grandeur.

 Space, Scale and Architectural Grandeur

The internal accommodation stretches across multiple levels and offers exceptional scope. A grand central hallway welcomes you into the house, with three generously proportioned reception rooms flowing from it — ideal spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or reimagining into open-plan living. The ground floor also hosts not one but two kitchens, plus utility rooms, a study, laundry room, and access to the cellar.

Upstairs, eight bedrooms provide flexibility for large family living or luxury guest accommodation. There are two bathrooms and additional WC facilities, with ample space for a modern reconfiguration to create principal suites, dressing rooms, or en-suites. The full-height attic and multi-room cellar further increase the home’s potential, whether for additional accommodation, storage, or leisure spaces such as a home cinema or wine cellar.

Outside, the grounds are equally impressive. Mature woodland borders the property, offering seclusion and tranquillity, while filtered views across to Latrigg and the towering Skiddaw range serve as a daily reminder of the region’s natural beauty. A detached double garage sits to the side, with space to create a gated entrance or formal driveway approach.

Endless Potential in a Prime National Park Setting

 Fieldside Manor is not currently habitable and is considered un-mortgageable in its current state. For this reason, the property is available exclusively to cash buyers. The property requires substantial renovation work and although we can carry out viewings, not all rooms are accessible.

 A Rare Find in a World-Famous Landscape

Opportunities such as this rarely come to market. Whether you envision creating a luxurious family home, a boutique retreat, or an exquisite holiday residence, Fieldside Manor offers the scale, location, and potential to deliver something truly exceptional. Just a short drive from Keswick and the shores of Derwentwater, this is a location that inspires. From fell walks and lake swims to Michelin recommended dining and artisan markets, this corner of Cumbria attracts discerning residents and visitors year-round.
