A gloriously pretty property in the small Lakeland village of Bouth, this two-bed home has all the quaintness of a traditional Lake District home. It’s conveniently located slap bang between Lake Windermere (4.5 miles) and Coniston Water (5.5 miles), opening up excellent opportunities for walking, boating and water sports. You’ll have a welcoming village pub within 150 metres for a post-dinner pint, a handy farm shop 1 mile away, and plenty more amenities in the market town of Ulverston (6 miles).
This delightful home is part of a row of 17th-century cottages, all with rustic appeal and surrounded by greenery. On arrival, enter a charming country-style kitchen/diner with attractive wood-panelled walls and a flagstone floor. Look out for original features like low ceilings and elegant wooden beams throughout. From the kitchen, step down into the warm, inviting lounge where an open fire and comfy seating await – lovely for relaxing in the evening. Outdoors, a gravel courtyard leads to the pretty lawned garden, where you can cook up BBQs and admire the meadow views. There’s also an ever-so-sweet garden room, a chalet-like structure featuring double doors for the warmer months and a wood burner to keep you cosy in the winter.
There’s plenty to do for lovers of the great outdoors – the surrounding nature reserves, fells and mountains beckon walkers, hikers and climbers with a variety of trails ranging from easy-peasy to highly challenging. You’ll find a number of National Trust properties nearby, including Beatrix Potter’s enchanting Hill Top home (8.5 miles). Fell Foot Park (5.5 miles) offers stunning mountain views, a cafe for afternoon tea, and water sports hire.
