Beautifully finished detached property, offering the perfect base to discover the north Pennines and Eden fells, a short drive from the Lakes.
Luxuriate in a group stay at this exquisite holiday home at Blencarn, on the fringes of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sleeping eight guests, and also welcoming a pair of happy hounds, this beautifully presented, four-bedroom retreat is also just 12 miles from the spectacular Lake District National Park. From here, make excursions to beauty spots such as Cross Fell, a 5-mile hike, with its panoramic views, or Ullswater, a 14-mile drive, with its glorious scenery. Return to sit out on the terrace at the house and gaze out across the village green, with a glass of chilled wine in your hand.
Wander into the property from the rear, leaving your outerwear in the boot room and discovering a utility room and ground-floor WC close by. Stroll on through to the airy kitchen/diner, where you can take turns cooking up holiday feasts for everyone to enjoy at the table. Afterwards, while away your evenings in the lounge, where you can play games together or watch the Smart TV against the backdrop of a roaring wood burner. When eyelids start to droop, climb the stairs to find a super-king-size room, two king-size bedrooms and a twin. There is also a family bathroom up here, as well as a family shower room. Spill out into the courtyard during fine weather or sit out to the front of the house on occasion too. You also have parking for four cars.
Plan forays into the Lake District. Drive 14 miles to Pooley Bridge to hire boats out on the water. Undertake a section of the 20-mile Ullswater Way, which goes all the way around the picturesque lake. Catch an Ullswater steamer and disembark at Aira Force to climb up and see the impressive waterfall.
