Overview
Aynsome Manor Park lies just under a mile from the beautiful village of Cartmel. Located on the Cartmel Peninsular, surrounded by rolling hills that tumble down to the coast, the village is picture perfect, with ancient buildings, an impressive medieval priory, a towering arch and a sweet, clear river all centred on the village square, along with a selection of fine pubs and restaurants
Ducks Haven is one of a group adjoining apartments and cottages that flank a small shared courtyard. The building was formerly the old mill and is separate from the main park, which offers privately owned lodges.
Living Spaces
New owner Graham has enjoyed refurbishing Ducks Haven for his guests to enjoy, relax and unwind. From the shared courtyard you enter a communal hall, then into the property.
Open plan, you have a small hall area leading through to a well-appointed kitchen, opening out to the dining area and sitting room.
Light, airy and modern here you have a big comfy sofa and armchair to relax in, put your feet up, read the latest bestseller, or maybe to take in a movie on the big wide screen TV. To one side is the dining table with delightful views of the garden and duck pond.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
There are two bedrooms, one a double the second a twin, both very comfortable and well furnished.
The fully tiled shower room has a shower cubicle, basin and WC.
Garden Spaces
Delightfully the property overlooks the garden and duck pond. Each apartment tends to have its &'own bit'; of garden space and for Ducks Haven this is simply a step outside the sitting room door. Here you can sit with a drink, have a barbecue on a warm summer night and watch and delight in the coming and goings of the many resident ducks and pond life.
All in all, this is a very relaxing and romantic apartment, perfect for couples or a small family.
