Established as an iron furnace in 1736, Nibthwaite Mills has a rich industrial history in the area until the end of the Second World War. It was then acquired in a derelict state in the 1980s and underwent a complete renovation and reconfi guration to create a beautiful home designed to enhance the wealth of original features, charming aesthetics and lovely views. The present owners took over around 12 years ago after searching for a tranquil holiday retreat; they fell in love with the picture perfect location and Nibthwaite Mills’ own 140m mill pond. The property has since been further updated to include a new kitchen, bathrooms and roof to both the house and garage. Along with the spacious accommodation that includes a kitchen with adjoining dining room and large living room, there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large cellar running the length of the original mill which is great for storage and houses the original furnace. The terraced gardens run down to the mill pond and river, offering a selection of private and unique seating areas from which to enjoy this one of a kind, secluded setting. The 150 metres of river frontage also benefi ts from fi shing rights from the private banking that stretches between the river and the delightful mill pond.

Just under a mile south of Coniston Water, it lies in the Crake Valley, a lovely peaceful , quiet and unspoilt area of the South Lakes. Charcoal House along with others in the little hamlet of Low Nibthwaite all served the iron smelting furnace at Nibthwaite Mills. The property overlooks the River Crake below and Coniston Old Man can be seen from the sitting room balcony. Readily accessible to the central lakes, the location is convenient for the market town of Ulverston (15 mins), the A590 trunk route leading to Kendal and the M6, and fast trains from Oxenholme (Kendal) reach London in 2½ hours.

The entrance door opens into a useful entrance porch with practical tiled floors. Setting the tone for this Grade II* listed home, glazed windows look down to the lower ground floor bedroom giving a glimpse of a large exposed stone wall and archway that was formerly the access for the carriages delivering charcoal to the furnace.

Hidden seating areas are found across the gardens, interconnected by wrought iron bridges and steps that extend across to the mill pond to a raised patio above the River Crake. This is a great spot to make the most of the fi shing rights or you can take a stroll down the private banking that runs between the mill pond and river down to a private lock. The elevated decked terrace accessed from the dining area is the perfect vantage point to take in these stunning surrounds, with the gentle sounds of the river adding to the relaxing aesthetics. The natural shrubbery planting of the garden creates relatively low maintenance spaces ideal for those looking for a second home. Practically, there is parking for 3 vehicles on the drive that extends down to the attached single garage. Steps from within the garage lead down to the large cellar that runs the length of the original house. This is a great space for storage and also houses the original furnace of the mill.
