Property Description
Built in the late 18th century, this beautiful, terraced Georgian home was originally the Butler's residence for the neighbouring Soutergate House and until the mid-1980's, the two buildings were still internally connected by the servants' stairs. Although built as a grand family home, the main house has served many purposes over the years, including a doctor's surgery, a school, a boarding house and a meeting place for the local Women's Union. It also had connections with Ulverston's workhouse. Bought by the current owners and renovated over a period of 18 months, The Butler's House is now a comfortable bolthole within walking distance of shops, pubs and restaurants.
Located on the Furness Peninsula and surrounded by stunning scenery, The Butler's House is just over a mile from the shores of Morecambe Bay, and the Cumbrian lakes of Coniston Water and Windermere are a 10-minute drive. Shop 400 yards, pub and restaurant 100 yards.
