We imagined rolling countryside, birdsong, and a sense of calm.When we discovered Fallapit House, it felt like all our hopes had been answered. The tranquillity of the parkland and surrounding woodland offered everything we were looking for: natural beauty, a peaceful atmosphere, and a warm sense of community with like-minded neighbours.We were immediately captivated by the views — the shifting light over the lake, the rustle of the trees, the serenity of the sunsets viewed from the lakeside bench. There is a timeless elegance to the estate that makes every day feel a little more special.Over time, we have carefully updated the apartment to combine modern comfort with the historic charm of the house, creating a space that is both stylish and functional. We've hosted many wonderful evenings with friends, who often leave saying how envious they are of the life we’ve created here.Now, due to family circumstances, we must relocate. Leaving Fallapit House will be a great loss to us — but we take comfort in knowing someone new will soon experience the joy, peace, and beauty this special place offers”.IMPORTANT INFORMATIONShare of freehold
