Ideal for families or friends, this bright and spacious cottage is in the small hamlet of Roger Ground. From the property, you can stroll a mile along a level, country footpath, crossing sheep-dotted fields, down into the picturesque village of Hawkshead. Here, you'll find a good selection of shops, pubs and cafes dotted around the pretty square. While in the area, don't miss a visit to Hill Top, the former home of Beatrix Potter at Near Sawrey (2.5 miles), and a walk around the picturesque Tarn Hows (3 miles), surrounded by woodlands and stunning views. If you're feeling adventurous, Go Ape in the Grizedale Forest is also just 3 miles away. Located between Esthwaite Water and Coniston Water, and only 3.5 miles from Windermere, this is a fabulous base for outdoor enthusiasts, with a huge choice of hiking trails, cycling routes, adventure activities and water sports available nearby.
This impressive holiday escape is light, bright and surprisingly spacious, with elegant furnishings that seamlessly blend old and new. Step through the front door and follow the hallway into the handsome lounge, which has picture windows that flood the room with light. Cosy up around the wood burner and enjoy a film on the Sky TV, or simply enjoy a quiet corner with a good book, listen to some music or simply sit back and soak up the glorious view. The impressive kitchen boasts a host of excellent appliances and ample storage and workspace for everyone to lend a hand with dinner. It flows through to the beautiful dining area, a perfect entertaining space with an ornamental fireplace and a picture window – allowing you to enjoy every meal with a view. The sleeping accommodation – all on the same level – is equally stylish and comfortable. The double bedroom has an en-suite shower room, while the king-size (which has yet more wonderful views) and twin bedroom share the spacious family bathroom, which has a shower over the bath and WC.
The front terrace overlooks the pristine grounds that give way to far-reaching views towards Kirstine Pass and the surrounding mountain range. At the back, the terrace offers views over rolling countryside to Sawrey and beyond. Enjoy the gorgeous vistas and the fresh air with a morning coffee or an al fresco meal on the patio, accessed via several steps. This high-quality property also offers private off-road parking for two cars.
