Three Mile House

About this property

Kirkby Lonsdale 7.1 miles. Three Mile House is an exceptional house resting in Killington, Cumbria, featuring sweeping rural views, ample off-road parking, EV charging, an enclosed garden, and a hot tub. Tucked within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and perfectly placed for exploring both the Dales and the Lake District, this impressive retreat offers a memorable setting for family celebrations and getaways with friends. Step through the porch and into a spacious hallway, where the scale of the home immediately becomes apparent. Two welcoming sitting rooms create opportunities for everyone to spend time together, whether gathered around the crackling woodburning stove or enjoying the glow of the open-fire after a day outdoors.

The dining room provides a wonderful space for long lunches and celebratory suppers, while the conservatory invites the countryside inside with views across the garden and surrounding landscape. The large kitchen is designed with group stays in mind, offering plenty of space for preparing hearty breakfasts before a day of adventure. Upstairs and down, five beautifully appointed bedrooms look out across rolling farmland, creating an ever-changing rural backdrop throughout your stay. Beyond the doorstep, the area is rich with opportunities for exploration. Visit Kirkby Lonsdale and admire the famous Devil's Bridge before wandering along the River Lune to the celebrated Ruskin’s View.

Head to Kendal, often known as the gateway to the Lake District, for historic streets, Kendal Castle, and cultural attractions that make for an engaging day out. For those drawn to the outdoors, the nearby Howgill Fells offer miles of picturesque walking routes across open countryside that inspired Alfred Wainwright himself. Whether you're exploring the landscape, seeking family adventures, or simply soaking in the hot tub beneath wide northern skies, Three Mile House provides an outstanding base for every occasion.

The attractive old market town of Sedbergh (pronounced Sed-Ber), with its old-world atmosphere, is not only set in the magnificent western dales of the Yorkshire Dales National Park but is also close to the rugged eastern fells of the Lake District. The town, with its narrow streets, little shops, traditional pubs, famous school dating back to 1525 and its 12th century church, has been a thriving community for hundreds of years, with a market dating from the 13th Century. Leading from Sedbergh is Dentdale, the jewel of the Yorkshire Dales with its rolling hills and dry-stone walls, stretching 14 miles from the windswept moors below Whernside to the confluence of the Rivers Dee and Rawthey. At the centre of the dale is Dent, with its cobbled streets, which has existed since Norman times and nearby Dent railway station is on the renowned Settle-Carlisle railway line. There are three golf courses nearby, as well as tennis, riding, and fishing, and the area is a paradise for walkers, ramblers, runners, and cyclists. This, together with the tranquillity of the surrounding valleys, the two National Parks and it being England's book town, makes an ideal year-round holiday destination.
