Attractive stone house set in mature gardens surrounded by gorgeous countryside. Less than a mile to the local pub, serving great food and local ales. Close to the Lake District and the coast.
Get all of your loved ones together for a break at this smart stone house in picturesque Grizebeck. Sleeping eight people over five bedrooms and welcoming four canine companions, this stylish and spacious home dates back to 1886, and is a charming accommodation option for large families or groups of friends who have a special occasion to celebrate. Spend your days spotting deer at Duddon Mosses Nature Reserve or canoeing at Coniston Water, and your evenings hosting dinners in the formal dining room or sipping wine as you warm your toes by the wood burner in the summer house.
Step inside this home and you’ll find a welcoming porch where you can drop off all of your outdoor gear. Head down the hallway to the country-style open-plan kitchen/dining area. Rustle up some dinner on the AGA and serve a meal to remember in the formal dining room. After dinner, step out onto the patio to enjoy the garden views, or stroll down to the bottom of the garden and enjoy a glass of wine by the wood burner in the quaint summer house. Alternatively, head to the lounge to slip onto a sofa by the feature stone fireplace, or retreat to the conservatory to lose yourself in a good book. At the end of the day, you’ll find two bedrooms on the ground floor and three bedrooms up on the first floor.
Coniston Water (10 miles) is a great spot for stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing or kayaking. Alternatively, head into the lovely Lakeland village of Hawkshead (14.5 miles) to stroll the cobbled streets, enjoy some afternoon tea and check out the Beatrix Potter Gallery. Or make your way to Sandscale Haws National Nature Reserve (9.5 miles) to see the migratory birds and enjoy the views across the Duddon Estuary towards the Lakeland Fells.
