Lingholm - BoatHouse

The boathouse at Lingholm Estate was the key reason for the purchase of the estate in 2013 by our client. The estate had the benefit of an existing boathouse structure on the side of Derwentwater, however this is in a poor state of repair. Design analysis of the site and local vernacular has led to several design options for the proposed boathouse, which were subject to review by a design review board and the local Council due to the extremely sensitive nature of the shoreline of the lake and the location within he National Park, SSSI and World Heritage site.

The finished boathouse offers private mooring for the client with unique holiday accommodation at first floor with stunning panoramic views of the lakeland setting. It is considered that this is one of the last new boathouses to be allowed on the shores of Derwentwater.

Status: Completed 2019
