Today, vast new home constructions include amenities to exhibit the owner’s wealth and stature. Although the contents have changed significantly, this is no different than mansions of a century ago.
The mansion of Hylands in Cumbria is a prime example. Built in 1910 by Abraham Pattinson, Hylands showed off the owner’s wealth and the superior architectural taste of the Edwardian Era. Details include various types of windows, nine bedrooms, vast lawns and walking paths, and oak detailing everywhere from molding to the grand staircase.
The current inhabitants, however, recently placed the 2.3 acre property up for sale at the listing price of £1.4 million.
Although prices of housing dropped in the recession of 2008, this vicinity of South Lakeland came out remarkably unscathed. The stunning views and walking paths bring in visitors who may use the guest houses and cottages available on nearby estates, including Hylands’ west wing holiday cottage.
South Lakeland is an ideal location for holidaymakers, as well as those who long for a mountainous lakeside retreat.
