Offering breathtaking views towards the stunning Coniston Water and the surrounding fells of Grizedale, this stylishly updated former miner’s cottage makes a fabulous holiday base for couples, families or friends. Elegantly renovated throughout, the characterful retreat dates back to the mid-19th century, and has been sympathetically reimagined to offer idyllic accommodation for five guests exploring an unforgettable part of the Lake District. With a cheerful wood burner, slate flooring and exposed stonework, this sweet bolthole enjoys an elevated position overlooking the picturesque village of Coniston.
Stepping inside this inviting traditional cottage, a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner offers a fantastic space for you all to settle back and unwind in peace. The relaxing lounge features slate floors, comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a roaring wood burner set within a striking stone fireplace. A central dining table provides a cheerful spot for getting together for family meals which you can rustle up in the beautifully presented, fully equipped kitchen. The ground floor also features a convenient utility room and WC. Upstairs, there’s a charming family bathroom and three cosy bedrooms: a single, a twin and a king-size room with spectacular views. Outside, the tiered garden is across the road, with paved and lawned areas, and ample outdoor furniture providing a superb spot for dining alfresco while taking in the magical Lakeland scenery.
