Middle Reston

Sleeping ten people in luxury

Middle Reston is a stunning and unique Arts and Crafts house located in the Lake District’s National Park. The 3 storeys Edwardian house was built in 1907 as a gentlemen’s summer residence. The property is situated in a private, leafy location, with wonderfully mature and colourful gardens and grounds.

The interior of the property still has many of the original quality and fine design features.? These include decorative stained-glass windows, oak panelling throughout, fine original fireplaces in almost every room, and an impressive oak staircase.

Nestled below Reston Scar, and part of a private and secluded Lake District estate, close to the village of Staveley, and only a 5-minute drive from Windermere. During your stay you have exclusive access to twelve acres of secret woodlands and gardens which can be explored from a secure gated entrance.

Recently refurbished it is the perfect base for friends and families to enjoy with the property accommodating 10 adults comfortably.

?Every room in the house has magnificent vistas from the windows and you will be forgiven if you find yourself daydreaming, looking out at the impressive views. Beautiful oak curved windows are a fantastic feature of this house, allowing an abundance of light and postcard views of stunning views across the valley to the fells.

The ground floor offers 3 reception rooms, a large breakfast kitchen room with a double-sided log burner along with patio doors overlooking the garden. The first floor has five individual bedrooms and two bathrooms.

During it's restoration, great care was taken to ensure many of the original character and features were retain. The dining room has the character of fine country estates of old, with original bespoke furniture dating from 1907 still in place.
