This stylish rural hideaway is ideal for couples seeking space, scenery and indulgent luxury – including a wood burner and a private hot tub with stunning views. Perfectly positioned between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, the cottage is surrounded by excellent walking and cycling trails, and within easy reach of the vibrant town of Kirkby Lonsdale.
The elegant escape features a reverse-level design, with the impressive king-size bedroom on the ground floor. This airy space, decorated in calming tones, boasts a walk-in wardrobe (complete with fluffy bathrobes), spacious en-suite shower room and French doors that let in masses of natural light. On this level, there’s also a generous area for storing coats, walking boots and outdoor gear. Upstairs, light pours into the open-plan living area, where soft seating is arranged to make the most of the panoramic views. Underfloor heating adds to the atmosphere, and there’s a wood burner for added cosiness on cooler evenings, plus a Smart TV for entertainment. The kitchen includes a handy microwave as well as that all-important coffee machine, and the sleek breakfast bar is a lovely spot for relaxed meals. Patio doors open onto a private terrace with a hot tub, and you’ll also have access to an elevated patio furnished for al fresco drinks – perfect for watching the sun set or for stargazing in the expansive dark skies. Private parking is available for two cars.
From your door, you can walk just a few metres to access the footpath to Middleton Fell, while further walks and cycle paths will take you among beautiful woodlands, dales and riversides. The lovely village of Barbon, where there’s a shop and a pub, is just 2 miles away, while the market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, a favourite of food-lovers, is 6 miles.
