With nearly 58 years under the same ownership, this semi-detached family home is a rarity within the Lake District National Park. High Rigg sits peacefully along a quiet road on the upper outskirts of Windermere village, just a stone’s throw from Queen’s Park. Originally designed as a five-bedroom residence, the house spans four floors and offers awe-inspiring elevated views over Lake Windermere and the Lake District’s most renowned fells.

The property is enveloped by tall hedges and well developed trees, ensuring privacy. Thanks to its prime location, High Rigg places you within walking distance of Windermere village where you will find supermarkets, shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, pharmacies, and transportation links. This well proportioned and much loved property is now in need of renovation and updating with plenty of scope for remodeling tailored to reflect your unique taste. High Rigg appeals to a range of buyers from families seeking a permanent residence to couples looking to upsize or those desiring a splendid second home.
