Enter the lounge, and you're immediately drawn to the wide bay window, flooding the room with natural light and accentuating the high ceilings and plush seating. It's a welcoming spot to settle after a day roaming the Lake District. Just beyond, a light-filled conservatory provides a peaceful corner for a morning coffee or an evening read. Outside, there's a private lawn to the front and a gravel yard to the rear.
