A charming shepherd''s hut set on a working dairy farm on the edge of Skirwith, one of the many delightful villages found across the Northern Pennines. Ideal for couples seeking a romantic getaway in stunning surroundings, the deceptively spacious hut features a rustic, open-plan living area, a private garden and easy access to popular walks and market towns including Penrith (9 miles).
The hut is tucked away from the outside world within the owner''s mature garden, an area surrounded by rolling pasture, woodlands and streams. It has a homely feel thanks to its wood cladded interior that is beautifully complemented by rustic furniture and a natural colour palette. The kitchen area boasts a Belfast sink, a mounted dresser and copper taps, while the double bed at the end of the hut is separated from the rest of the living area by a subtle curtain. The Relieve and Refresh hut just to the side of the main hut contains a charming shower room, while the seating and chimenea nearby act as the hut''s garden - with further access to the owner''s grounds beyond. Private, off-road parking for one car is also available.
The hut''s location makes it the perfect base for exploring the Lakes, Eden Valley, and beyond. From the village of Little Salkeld (4.5 miles), walkers can take in the loop that includes Long Meg and Her Daughters and Lacy''s Caves (both within 7.5 miles). The market town of Penrith (9 miles) offers a variety of independent shops and restaurants, while the likes of Ullswater (13.5 miles) are a must for water sports lovers.
