Bedroom details
1 Bedroom (Sleeps 2 + cot)
As the former gatehouse to Eden Hall Mansion, Khari sits beside grand pillars marking the entrance to Edenhall Estate. The architecturally magnificent building was designed by Sir Robert Smirke, who was also responsible for designing the iconic Royal opera house and the British museum.
The owner has lovingly restored this historical abode with a beautiful mix of reclaimed fixtures and original fittings to create a soothing escape from everyday life. This honey-hued home offers an abundance of space for couples looking to retreat to the Lakes, with three marvelous sitting rooms, a romantic bedroom, and a charming garden, complete with a bubbling wood-fired hot tub for magical moments alfresco. Explore your splendid surroundings, taking in the beauty of the Cumbrian countryside and reconnect with nature.
Living
With three beautiful lounge areas, there's ample space to relax and unwind after days spent exploring the Lake District. The formal sitting room, with vibrant William Morris Bellflowers wallpaper and a plush velvet sofa in deep purple is a soothing space to enjoy calming retreat moments. Light the fire and embrace your tranquil surroundings, curling up with a gripping page turner. Wild deer can often be spotted grazing from the grand lounge windows, a magical sight to behold in such an idyllic setting.
Retreat to the relaxed sitting room for movie nights, with a Smart TV and a soft grey corner sofa, dressed in neutral cushions and throws, just made for such cosy moments. You'll also find a beautiful feature marble fireplace and lamps to set the mood.
