The property

High Mill House is an impressive and characterful home set on the rural edge of the thriving town of Penrith.

Positioned close to a river and lying between the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines National Landscape, the property is well placed for those looking to immerse themselves in Cumbria’s striking scenery.

This detached period building, once a working mill, has been carefully renovated and enjoys views across the surrounding countryside and river, with the added benefit of convenient off-road parking.

Step inside to discover a spacious kitchen and dining area, offering plenty of space for preparing meals together, with a range of well-appointed appliances set within attractive cabinetry and a dining table ideal for shared mealtimes.

A conservatory sitting room provides a bright and inviting space filled with natural light, offering lovely views across the garden and making it an ideal spot to enjoy a morning coffee while planning the day ahead.

On warmer days, open the double glass doors and step out into the garden, where a raised terrace provides a seating area with far-reaching views over the river and countryside beyond.

This outdoor space is perfect for alfresco dining accompanied by birdsong and the gentle sound of flowing water, while the lawn below offers space for relaxed picnics.

Arranged over three floors, the bedrooms begin on the first floor, where a king-size and a double bedroom both benefit from generous proportions and en-suite facilities.

Two further bedrooms are located on the second floor and are served by a contemporary bathroom, offering family-friendly layouts.

One bedroom features a double and a single bed, while the second is a twin double room sleeping four.

Penrith offers a wide selection of shops, pubs, and eateries, along with historic attractions including Penrith Castle and King Arthur’s Round Table.

From the property, guests can enjoy countryside walks and riverside views, with easy access to the North Pennines, while the Lake District National Park is close by and home to a wealth of walking routes, scenic lakes, and dramatic landscapes.

Popular walking destinations include Scafell Pike, Helvellyn, Aira Force, Skiddaw, and Cross Fell, all offering memorable views across mountains and water.

Ullswater, Derwentwater, and Bassenthwaite Lake provide opportunities for watersports and wild swimming, with lakeside viewpoints such as Friars Crag adding to the appeal.

For an unforgettable escape surrounded by outstanding natural beauty, High Mill House offers an excellent base from which to explore Cumbria and the Lake District.

About the location

PENRITH

Keswick 17 miles; Carlisle 20 miles.

The bustling market town of Penrith, once the capital of Cumbria, enjoys a central position between the Lake District, the Westmoorland Dales and North Pennines and is ideally placed for taking in all that the region has to offer. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle, Brougham Hall (The Windsor of the North), Lowther Castle and Gardens, Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
