Lying close to the heart of the Lake District, this delightful cottage is full of charm and character and makes a fabulous hideaway for families, couples and friends exploring this incredible area. Surrounded by truly breathtaking scenery, the cottage dates back over three centuries and has been sympathetically updated to provide fresh, cosy accommodation for up to six guests. Set at the end of a single-track road in a beautifully secluded spot on a working sheep farm, this tastefully furnished getaway features ancient timber beams, exposed stone floors, whitewashed walls and a wood burner set in a rustic-style inglenook.
A wood-panelled hallway greets you as you enter, leading through to the cosy lounge/diner. Brimming with character, this beautifully furnished room has latched doors, wooden beams, comfortable seating and a lovely wood burner alongside a relaxing dining table. The ground floor also has a stylishly updated, fully equipped kitchen and a cheerful bathroom with underfloor heating. Upstairs, there are three characterful bedrooms with picturesque views, latched doors, low ceilings and some uneven floorboards: Upstairs features two comfortable double bedrooms and a twin room, with one of the single beds being slightly smaller and best suited for children. Outside, the fenced garden has a large lawn and a picnic table making it an ideal spot for sitting back and taking in the magnificent views surrounding this tranquil, secluded property.
Encircled by dramatic fells, the cottage is a fantastic base for walkers, climbers and hikers, with Latterbarrow, Cathedral Cave and The Old Man of Coniston all within 5 miles. Also within a 5-mile radius are Coniston Water, Windermere, Rydal Water, Esthwaite Water and Grasmere, with other local attractions including Rydal Mount and Gardens, Wray Castle and Brantwood, all within 7 miles.
