A traditional 17th Century Lakeland farmhouse, as mentioned in the "Rogue Herries" novels, Derwent Farmhouse stands in a quiet courtyard, with the garden sloping down to the River Derwent. The house has many original features including beamed ceilings, an inglenook and a curving stone staircase. It enjoys views to the west of Maiden Moor and Grange Fell to the east.

The grounds, shared with the neighbouring property, are an excellent place to relax and enjoy Borrowdale and the surrounding fells. Entering the farmhouse, a large hall way leads to the kitchen/dining room with a large inglenook. Across the hall way is a pleasant sitting room with an open fire and comfortable seating (3-seater sofa, 2-seater sofa and an armchair). From the hall way, a spiral, stone staircase with rope hand-rail leads to the three bedrooms: a family room with a double and single bed and en-suite bathroom, a twin and a further double bedroom. Also upstairs is a second bathroom with WC and wash basin. An accessibility statement is available upon request for this property.
