Lingholm Boat House

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 have been reviewed by a design review board and the local Council due to the extremely sensitive nature of the shoreline of the lake. Planning has now been approved for the final design and work is due to commence early 2017. The finished boathouse will offer private mooring for the client with unique holiday accommodation above in what is likely one of the last new boathouses to be allowed on the shores of Derwentwater.
