Description:Searching for elegance, modernity, and a fantastic setting all wrapped into one manor house in the UK? You 've found it! This large manor house has oak-paneled libraries and an open fireplace, Victorian follies in the garden, and is near a village with two award-winning restaurants. Face it-- what you 've been looking short is nothing short of Paradise... Which is perfect, since this holiday manor house in the UK is located in the Eden Valley. n nThis English country hall is a Grade II listed manor home nestling in the foothills of the North Pennines, one of 40 classified areas of outstanding natural beauty in England and Wales. It is set within its own sandstone walled grounds, which are entered through an arched gateway at the edge of the village. The grounds include an archery lawn, walled vegetable gardens and a Victorian castle folly at the foot of the lawn. The forested grounds extend for 20 acres, and incorporate a small tributary of the River Eden. The village of Melmerby is in the Eden Valley, lying between the Pennines and the Lake District, 12 miles from Ullswater and 9 miles from the historic market town of Penrith. There are a number of outstanding walking areas nearby along the edge of the River Eden, and one of England 's largest Druidic stone circles, Long Meg and her Daughters, is also close by. The village of Melmerby is unusual in that, despite its small size, it contains two Egon Ronay award-winning restaurants The Shepherd 's Inn Pub, and The Village Bakery. There is also a post office, tea shop and art gallery. nThe first mention of the existence of the Hall is during the reign of Edward II (1307-27) when it was owned by John de Denum. It passed some time later to the Threlkeld family, who extended the tower in the 17th century and again in the 18th century in a Georgian style at the front of the house. As a result of its gradual extension over the last 700 years, the house contains a number of unusual features including a priest hole, an enormous inglenook fireplace, doorways through old fireplaces, and roman barrel vaulted wine cellars. n nGround floor - hall, drawing room with open fire, oak paneled library with open fire, dining room with oak flooring and an enormous open fire salvaged from one of the local castles, family living room with open fire and adjacent playroom, front cloakroom, a large breakfasting kitchen with oak parquet flooring and hand crafted oak cabinetry, a sandstone larder room, utility room, boot room, back cloakroom, and a sandstone terrace with built in barbecue accessed by French doors from the family living room. The bedrooms on the upper floors are all furnished with antiques dating from the periods for which they are named with the exception of the luxurious master bedroom. First floor - master bedroom with a king size bed and en suite bathroom with a large built-in shower and a cast iron roll-top bath and dressing area. The master bedroom is connected to the 1st twin bedroom (Jacobean Room). The 2nd double bedroom (Chinese Empire) has washing facilities. The 3rd double bedroom (Edwardian) has an en suite bathroom with built in shower and separate bath, and is connected via two doors to the 2nd twin room (Georgian) which has a decorative open fire. The 4th double bedroom (French Regency) also has a bathroom en suite. (NB: two of the en suite bathrooms have second doors which allow access from the landing). Second floor: 5th double bedroom (Victorian) with a mahogany four poster bed, open fire and en suite bathroom, a billiards room with a full size table and an open fire, and a wc/shower room. 6th double bedroom (Edwardian) and a further twin bedroom (The Nursery) and a separate shower wc/shower room. This gives a total of 6 double bedroom and 3 twin bedrooms of accommodation for guests. Extensive outbuildings and stables. nFeatures: The house is furnished throughout with antique furniture. Other amenities include an oil fired four oven Aga, gas cook top and additional oven, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge, freezer, microwave, 2 TVs and videos (in family room and children 's playroom), open fires, oil central heating, very large gardens and ample parking. Baby sitting and dinners cooked by arrangement. Clay pigeon and other shooting can be arranged as well as fishing along the Riven Eden. Bicycles are available and Melmerby lies close to the new coast to coast Cumbrian cycle route. The keyholder lives in the housekeeper 's cottage next to the house. Guest privacy will be respected at all times. Sorry no smokers and no dogs. Saturday to Saturday during July and August.
