Set within the boundary of the Lake District National Park, could one of West Cumbria's most expensive homes be your dream place to live?

Just outside the historic town of Wordsworth's former home sits the village of Lorton – which houses a stunning £925,000 property.

The five-bedroom Grade II listed home sits in its own six acres of land, located within the World Heritage Site, with stunning views and gardens surrounding it.

The detached house was the former home of philanthropist William Alexander Lancaster in 1840, and is accessed by a private road.

In addition to the five bedrooms, Shatton Lodge boasts a large kitchen with a gorgeous aga, a handful of reception rooms with period features, a beam-adorned dining room, and its own pond.

Listed on Zoopla for offers over £925,000, the Lorton Road property is one of the most expensive in the area, according to the site.
