If your idea of the perfect Lake District holiday is to have magnificent lake views, walks from your doorstep up onto mountain paths, a village within walking distance and plenty of activities both on and around the water, then Bracken Barn may well be a perfect choice.
Bracken Barn adjoins The Hay Barn, both sitting opposite Heathwaite Farm and Cottage. All overlook and have wonderful views of Coniston Water, and lie on the lower slopes of Coniston Old Man.

Set in some ninety acres of grazing meadow and fell, in the heart of the Lake District, the properties are approached by steep narrow lanes from the village, which open onto a long private drive. Paths lead on up to the summit, giving the walker a stunning panoramic view of the lake district.

Wildlife is abundant, with Buzzards soaring overhead, Green Woodpeckers hammering trees and Swallows performing avian aerobatics in and out of the old barns. The surrounding meadow is grazed by Herdwick sheep and cattle which, on occasion, are driven into the farm yard for dipping and shearing, a fascinating sight for children and adults alike - keep the camera ready.

Bracken Barn

The barn is bank built. You step into a small hall where a short flight of steps take you up to the open plan living space. The sitting room area is of a good size, with a comfortable sofa and arm chairs set under a beamed ceiling and, to add a little atmosphere, a living gas fire. All very perfect to tuck up in the evenings after the days explorations.

The kitchen is open plan to the sitting room, and leads into the dining room. Well equipped to self cater, all is comfortably furnished, ideal for lazy lunches or tasty dinners long into the night.

Back down to the hall and a few stairs take you to the lower level and two bedrooms. One is a double the other a twin. Finally there is a bathroom with bath, overhead shower, basin and WC.

Out side to the front is a small patio area to enjoy a drink or relax with a book, or you might care to explore the surrounding meadows and fell and find the perfect spot for a picnic.
