Potential buyers are always on the look out for that special something...
A property that has land, is in a remote location, has great walking routes. What about all of the above In abundance!
The famous Skiddaw House is sat within the hills of the Lake District and is infamously considered one of the most remotely located properties in the UK!
We all know that one person that loves their own company, maybe this is the place for them.
- It sits around 1,500 feet above sea level in the middle of the fells.
- The nearest public road is roughly 4 miles away.
- There are no neighbouring properties, at all.
- Access is mainly by walking, mountain bike or authorised 4x4 vehicles.
The surrounding area is incredibly quiet — no traffic noise, streetlights, or phone signal in many spots. At night, the darkness is almost total, making it a huge draw for stargazers and hikers.
The house was built in 1829 by the Earl of Egremont as a shooting lodge and shepherding base for the surrounding estate.
Today it’s owned by a charitable trust and operates mainly as a remote hostel/bunkhouse for hikers, cyclists, and outdoor groups.
Would you live here? If so, how long could you live here for...? Port by the fire anyone? 🔥🍷
