Brathay How is a unique and impressive home with sensational views and is ideal for entertaining, corporate hospitality or other business use.

A galleried landing overlooks the stunning entrance hall and the reception rooms provide fabulous views of the surrounding fells.

Like the accommodation downstairs, the 12 bedrooms combine luxury and comfort and many of them are en-suite. One of them could even be a dance studio as it has a vaulted ceiling, wooden floor and mirrored wall.

If dancing isn't your thing then you could chill out in the indoor pool suite which includes a large pool with adjoining patio, whirlpool spa and attached gym. There's also an old tennis court in the grounds, with walks, climbing and sailing outdoors.

Brathay How, at Clappersgate near Ambleside, has access directly on to Loughrigg Fell and superb views of the Coniston range and Langdale Valley.

It is for sale at £3.35m from Hackney & Leigh who describe it as one of the most outstanding properties in the region and a simply wonderful family home.
