Set on the lower ground floor of the magnificent Applethwaite Hall, this bright and appealing retreat is perfect for keen walkers, cyclists and nature lovers discovering the region’s beautiful fells, woodlands and lakes. Dating back to 1901, this idyllic Arts and Crafts property occupies private gardens with chances to spot deer and badgers in the surrounding woods and fields and offers stunning views over Orrest Head and the Langdales.
Entering this impressive country house, the hallway leads down to the beautiful apartment on the lower ground floor. Stepping inside, the inner hallway has a handy reading area, desk and a choice of useful maps and local books. The welcoming lounge/diner is a great space to relax, watch a movie on the Smart TV, play a game on the PS4 or share a meal around the elegant dining table.
