Built in 1968 for the owners of the well-renowned and prestigious Lodore Swiss Hotel, Mr Robert England and his Swiss wife Merthie Muggler, Lodore House is a unique and highly striking property, constructed on stilts and designed by a prominent and well-regarded firm of local architects.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the spectacular Lodore Falls and next to the appropriately renamed Lodore Falls Hotel, the property is situated in an elevated position with floor to ceiling windows in most rooms capturing the magnificent panoramic views across Derwentwater to the imposing and majestic Catbells mountain range.

Being immensely individual and very much 'of its time' Lodore House has been updated with modern fixtures and fittings and enjoys a glamorous contemporary feel with a fabulous open plan and sociable reception space with the dining room open through to the sitting room. The spacious and well-served bedroom accommodation forms a separate wing: master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe (with original 1960's bespoke wooden interior fittings) is complemented by three further double bedrooms, a house bathroom and a shower room.

In 1968 Lodore House was granted a prestigious Civic Trust Award for contribution to the local scene. Standing well with woodland to the rear and constructed with Lakeland stone, glass and wood, it creates a true statement piece of architecture.
