Description The sale of The Holesfoot Estate presents an exceptional opportunity to purchase a picturesque residence in a tranquil corner of the Eden Valley. Holesfoot uniquely combines a manageable, private estate steeped in history with a lovely country residence and the ability to generate significant income (currently c. 24,000 per annum). For an Estate of this calibre to be offered to the market presents a rare opportunity to acquire what must be one of the most delightful properties of its type in the North of England. Holesfoot House The house is a handsome six-bedroomed country residence dating from the early 19th Century and enjoying splendid views from the principal rooms to south, north and west.

Wings were extended in the early 20th Century using imposing stonework from Edenhall. In recent years Holesfoot has been the subject of a sensitive refurbishment programme which has retained and improved many period details including fine carved panelling, detailed plaster cornices and fireplaces. Some of the internal panelling is reputedly from the Foundling Hospital in London, and may well be from the actual room where Handel performed a number of concerts.
