An 'Arts and Crafts' Lakeland house from 1901 is accepting offers in the region of £2,400,000.

Nick Elgey, property sales and marketing consultant for Hackney and Leigh, is managing the sale of the property, known as Lingy Acre, located at Portinscale, near Keswick.

Mr Elgey said: "Lingy Acre is a wonderful Arts and Crafts house with extensive, beautifully-mature gardens and an idyllic Lakeland setting.

"Properties with these combined attributes are immensely appealing and are rarely offered for sale."

The property, featured in the January 1912 edition of Country Life, has stunning views of the surrounding fells and is situated on a private side road and covers a 0.8-acre site.

Among its features are five bedrooms, four bath/shower rooms, three reception rooms, a study, and an 'impressive orangery'.

It also boasts a double garage and an oak framed treble garage.

Mr Elgey said: "New Road in Portinscale is a highly desirable residential location and includes an impressive variety of individually styled houses, some of which were designed by William Henry Ward, the acclaimed architectural assistant to Sir Edwin Lutyens."
