The School House

Glenridding 0.9 miles.

The School House is an appealing retreat situated in Patterdale, Cumbria, enjoying rural views, communal parking, a garden with sauna, and a sitting room centred around a woodburning stove.

Well placed for families and groups exploring the Lake District, this welcoming property combines spacious accommodation with a distinctive decorative style and easy access to the surrounding fells, local amenities, and nearby lake.

From the moment you enter, The School House reveals a personality of its own.

A thoughtful Indonesian theme runs throughout the rooms, with most of the furnishings brought directly from Indonesia, giving the interiors a rich sense of colour, craft, and travel-inspired character.

The sitting room is made for gathering together at the end of the day, with the woodburning stove bringing a glowing centrepiece to evenings spent chatting, watching television, or planning the next adventure.

The kitchen provides the everyday essentials for preparing meals, while the dining room sets the scene for long breakfasts before walking boots are laced and maps are unfolded.

Across five bedrooms, guests can choose from two ground-floor double rooms, each with an en-suite walk-in shower room, two king-size rooms, and a single bedroom.

A bathroom with bath and shower over, plus a cloakroom, adds practicality for larger groups.

Outside, the lawn, patio, furniture and decking make the garden a real highlight, with rural views providing a fine backdrop to time spent outdoors.

A pub is close by, with a shop also nearby, and the lake within reach for waterside days.

Glenridding offers Ullswater Steamers, Aira Force, and fell routes towards Helvellyn.

Ambleside is ideal for Stock Ghyll Force, Bridge House, and the Armitt Museum, while Keswick brings Derwent Pencil Museum, Theatre by the Lake, and Castlerigg Stone Circle.

Enjoy a memorable Cumbrian stay at The School House.
