Independent Apartment, Netherby Hall, Longtown

Set within the stunning grounds of Netherby Hall, Independent Apartment is one of nine properties offering characterful and beautifully decorated accommodation. Aptly named, Independent Apartment benefits from a lift access to the first floor living accommodation with a second bedroom and wet room on the ground floor.

On entering the property, a modern hallway has a staircase leading to the first floor living accommodation, along with a comfortable bedroom with en-suite wet room. Access to the first floor is either up the stairs or via the lift which is large enough to accommodate a wheelchair user and one other person. Upstairs, the contemporary living area is open-plan with a feature Bio Mass remote control pellet fuel fire and very well-equipped kitchen.

Independent Apartment is located in 36 acres of parkland, where you can enjoy manicured lawns, a Victorian pleasure garden and a walled garden that stretches for over an acre. The estate is nestled in north Cumbria, with spectacular views over the undulating landscape to the Scottish hills beyond. Glorious walks abound, including a path alongside the River Esk, a burbling brook that is beautifully clear.

The history of Netherby Hall dates back to Roman times, and parts of the grand house may even have been built using stones from a Roman fort. Beautifully decorated, the apartments and cottages are all thoroughly modern, with plenty of touches of 21st century luxury.
