Hoff Lodge was originally built as a shooting lodge for Lord Hothfield in Appleby-in-Westmorland with a focus on design aesthetics using local craftspeople using local materials in protest against the same style of house being constructed around the end of the 19th century.
This six-bedroom residence, set within over five acres of private grounds, is available for offers over £950,000.
It is currently being marketed by Fine & Country.
Hoff Lodge has retained its period features, including solid oak doors, brass door plates, and cast-iron radiators.

As well as six bedrooms, this home has three bathrooms and four elegant reception rooms, alongside a detached coach house offering ‘significant development potential’.
A sweeping, tree-lined driveway leads to the grand arched entrance,
opening into a reception hall with an open fire, original oak Arts & Crafts fireplace, and parquet flooring.
The front-facing drawing room and dining room provide views across the grounds, each featuring period fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, and adjoining sunrooms.
To the rear, two additional reception rooms offer versatile living space, alongside a kitchen with solid oak cabinetry, a five-oven Aga, and modern appliances.
Upstairs, the grand staircase leads to six spacious bedrooms, four with ornate fireplaces, and two bathrooms.
The front-facing bedrooms offer panoramic countryside views, while the recently
renovated bathroom showcases period William Morris wallpaper.
Beyond the main residence, the detached coach house presents an opportunity for conversion, with planning permission for a holiday let or ancillary accommodation.
The estate also includes a private woodland, organic vegetable garden,
and a charming west-facing rear garden with a patio and fountain.
Hoff Lodge is located just two miles from Appleby. The estate also benefits from a share in surrounding land.
