About this property

Large Lake District House in Hawkshead. Ensuite Rooms, Pets, Parking & Garden

The Old School House is a listed property situated in the heart of Hawkshead village, central for exploring all that the Lake District has to offer. Formerly home to William Wordsworth.

There is plenty to see and do both in Hawkshead itself and the surrounding areas. Within a short stroll from the house there are several pubs, cafes, shops & galleries.

To the right is a grand dining room with a large oak table comfortably seating 10/12 people. In addition there is a seating area with armchairs looking out of the floor to ceiling windows across the village towards Latterbarrow.

A full size Pool table is a big hit with children and adults alike.

To the rear of the house is a second lounge/snug with slate floors, open fire & smart tv. This room leads on to the well appointed kitchen with a large double oven, dishwasher, large fridge/freezer and washing machine.
