Once owned by John Myers, the cousin of William Wordsworth, this converted chapel has an enviable position with views over the Whicham Valley, Black Combe Fell and continuing towards the Coniston Fells. It’s the perfect bolthole for a couple looking for a romantic getaway. However, if guests want to be part of a bigger party, this property can be booked with another property for larger groups – a converted farmhouse that sleeps four guests. With Black Combe Fell and the Whicham Valley on the doorstep, there are many walks from the front door. Coniston in the southern Lake District fells is 12 miles away, Lake Windermere’s Newby Bridge 15 miles away and Wastewater just over 22 miles distant.
To take advantage of the views, this property has been configured with the living and sleeping area upstairs. The whole top floor is an open-plan living space with a bedroom, with many original features, oak beams, stone walls and chapel-style windows. It's a fantastic space with wooden flooring, a welcoming, warming wood burner and comfortable seating – a great room to unwind in at any time of the day. Downstairs, there is the kitchen that has everything guests would need for an easy self-catering holiday. The dining table offers lovely views across the garden whilst enjoying dinner. The bathroom is located just off the kitchen equipped with a walk-in shower and free-standing bath – a peaceful spot to relax at the end of the day's exploring.
There is an enclosed mature garden with a seating area overlooking the rolling countryside.
