About this property

Sitting in the heart of Grange-Over-Sands is this romantic, double-storey house in the Lake District, Low Lodge. The house was the billiard room of the main house but is now a separate dwelling.

Low Lodge was originally the billiard room of the main house and this had very high ceilings. A floor has been added so the magnificence of the original ceiling can only be appreciated from the main bedroom. Mr Porritt, who commissioned the building of Rocklands, was a mill factory director in Lancashire. It was built in 1896. The grounds were quite extensive but parts have since been sold (some houses on Highfield Road sit on land where the tennis courts were) or gifted (the small wooded area in front of the property was gifted to the authorities with the proviso that it should never be built on). Message from the owners: 'When we are in Grange, we enjoy walking along the Promenade and the Gardens. In addition to these two walks, we will occasionally walk to Hampsfell Hospice from the house. Humphrey Head is a short drive away and there are many walks starting from the car park in Cartmel. We hope you will enjoy your stay in Low Lodge.' Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1096336, together sleeping up to 9 guests.
