The property branded Britain's "loneliest house" featuring 30,000 acres of land and three mountaintops has been put for sale for £10 million. Skiddaw House in the Lake District has hit the property market for the first time, with locals labelling the lavish pad as the "one of the loneliest dwelling-places in all the British Isles".
The deserted former shooting lodge offers up three separate mountaintops in the surrounding area and a long walk between the property and local villages, the Daily Star reports.
The walks can take around an hour and 20 minutes with potential buyers advised that they would require a map, whistle and torch for the trek.
Despite the lengthy journey to the property, the gorgeous Lake District property built by a nobleman in 1892 ticks many other boxes as it boasts peaceful surroundings of a picturesque countryside.
Access to the premises via car is not likely given that Skiddaw Mountain has a narrow winding track that doesn't accommodate bulky vehicles.
The secluded property has caught the attention of many buyers since it was first put up for sale in 2021 but the isolated nature of the place is proving to make it quite difficult to sell. Sales organiser Andrew Wright said it is "one of the largest areas of the Lake District national park ever to be sold."
Wright added that they are expecting "a lot of interest" in the property which has a high value, standing somewhere in the region of £10million. Explaining the hefty price of the lonely building, Gavin Bland, a Cumbrian sheep farmer said: "You can't value it.
"There's nothing to compare it to. It's what someone is prepared to pay for it."
The property was described as one of the 'loneliest' in all of England by author Hugh Walpole in his novel, the Fortress with the premises already falling to ruin in the 1970s.
Since then, it has been used as a youth hostel in one of the rare independent estates in the Lake District, with most others owned by the National Trust.
