And now a Lake District home, formerly known as Garnet House, once owned by the Queen Mother, is also up for sale at £3,750,000.
The property, in Winster, was used as a stopover for when The Queen’s mother was travelling back and forth from London to Scotland.
Despite her ownership however, the Lady of the Garter never stayed there – but it has been used by Princess Margaret for just a single night. Now known as The Old Vicarage, the property was given to the gardener at the local church.
The name, quite oddly, has no previous connection to the church. Its current owners bought the home in 1987 and have extended and remodeled the house to suit family life.
The “quaint and characterful” property, dating back to 1623, has the nooks, crannies, quirks and eccentricities of a period home. Decorated with colour and pattern, there is an atmospheric dining room, hospitable kitchen and a series of useful pantries and stores.
The kitchen size was increased by reducing the size of the adjoining pantry, a home office created for working from home and a conservatory was added to provide a large room for entertaining.
An old stable was converted into a one bedroom annex and an extension provides an extra bedroom and entrance hall. In total, there a four good-sized reception rooms.
There is also a detached garage block with garden stores and wine cellar was also built.
In total there are seven bedrooms with two being ensuite, four further bedrooms and a house bathroom.
Outside is equally as stunning as formal and informal gardens wrap around the house and also has a detached double garage, plenty of parking, an outdoor kitchen and orchard. There is also a detached garage block with garden stores and wine cellar was also built.
An adjacent paddock offers around one acre of land making the total area just over three acres. Every orientation of the home offers incredible views of the wider valley.
