The Lake District House Running Costs

And…breathe. Because next year you could be waking up on Christmas morning to the fresh air of the Lake District, in the luxury of this £4,000,000 Enchanting House on the shore of Coniston Water. Wandering through the ancient forest of Grizedale before gathering for the ultimate Christmas feast overlooking the lake and its magnificent fells, unwrapping presents from under the tree and cosying up around the slate hearth of a sunken, outdoor lounge. If you’re our Lake District House Grand Prize Winner we want you to be able to drop your shoulders, exhale your worries and enjoy the perfect Christmas in this treasured national park.

Here’s how we help:

  • We’ve styled and furnished the house with beautiful pieces worth £160,000, so it’s all ready to move into.
  • As always, we’ve taken care of the mortgage, stamp duty and legal fees, so there’s nothing left to pay.
  • We’ll give the winner £250,000 in cash to help with running costs and settling in.

We’ve estimated the running costs of the Lake District House (as of November 2024) to be £862 per month based on:

  • Electricity: £400 per month  
  • Air source heat pump service: £33.00 per month
  • Water (bore hole service): £33 per month 
  • Broadband: £65 per month
  • Council tax: £316 per month
  • Gate access: £15 per month

There are also additional services that the winner may wish to engage such as hot tub maintenance, a mooring license, cleaner and gardener, which we would expect to come to around £1,220 per month.
