Set in the picturesque Lakeland village of Hawkshead, this impressive family home is built into a hillside with extensive views over the surrounding fells. Located just north of Esthwaite Water, the village is steeped in history with a 15th-century church and a school once attended by the poet William Wordsworth. With a multitude of attractions and activities all around and flexible accommodation for up to eight guests, it’s ideal for family gatherings and holidays with friends.
Light and airy throughout, this spacious family home has been lovingly renovated with stylish decor and superb attention to detail to create a warm and sophisticated home from home. Located on the first floor with far-reaching views, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner forms the heart of this property. This sociable room features a modern fitted kitchen, a large family dining table, and a light-filled lounge with dual aspect windows and a corner sofa big enough to seat everybody. When night falls, take your pick of comfortable bedrooms. There’s a twin zip-and-link on the ground floor (which can be made up as a super-king-size on request), with an en-suite shower room. Another twin zip-and-link, a king-size and a double can be found on the first floor. All bedrooms are fitted with a Smart TV. A family shower room is also on this floor. Challenge your travelling companions to a game of darts or pool in the garage, which can also be used for storage, and clamber up the steep lawn to the small patio to enjoy a cuppa while drinking in those views (please note the garden isn’t suitable for playing games).
Wrapped in magnificent Lakeland scenery, Hawkshead is perfect for those that love outdoors activities, with an abundance of walking and cycling trails, and water-based activities at Windermere and Coniston (within 5 miles). Beatrix Potter’s former home, Hill Top, is just 2.5 miles away.
