Surrounded by breathtaking countryside, this tastefully updated property dates back to 1886 and makes a fabulous retreat for up to eight guests exploring the southern fringe of the Lake District. Offering fantastic rural scenery, the property has a large mature garden, a delightful conservatory, a pretty summer house and a warming wood burner. Just a few miles from Coniston Water, this welcoming house is a wonderful base for a family reunion or for keen walkers and cyclists discovering the region’s lakes, villages and coastline.
With a cosy wood burner, stylish shuttered windows and a feature stone fireplace, the spacious main lounge is an ideal spot for getting together and unwinding with a movie at the end of a great day. There’s plenty of additional space to sit back in the beautiful light-filled conservatory where you can watch the birds and wildlife in the garden. You can gather together to enjoy a special meal in the light and formal dining room, while the tastefully designed kitchen is a pleasure to cook in. The ground floor also offers an invigorating shower room and two cosy bedrooms: a single and a double. The sweeping staircase leads to the first floor and three further bedrooms: two pretty double rooms and a charming single, plus an elegant family bathroom. Outside, the extensive garden features mature shrubs and trees, as well as a pretty summer house with comfortable seating and a wood burner, providing a lovely space for a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening.
This is a fabulous area for walkers and nature lovers, with chances to spot deer, barn owls and other wildlife. Local attractions include Duddon Mosses (0.5 miles), Langholme Mill Gardens, Swinside Stone Circle, Coniston Water and the Laurel and Hardy Museum in Ulverston (all within 7 miles).
