Property code: OC-88651

The village of Ireleth-in-Furness, perched above the Cumbrian coast, has magnificent views of the sea, sand, and on a clear day, the Isle of Man. This unique property is perfect for families looking for a quiet base for an active holiday exploring the Furness Peninsula and Lake District. The Duddon Estuary, less than a mile away, is an easy walk from the house. If you want to leave the car behind, then the railway station at Askam is perfect for accessing destinations up and down the coast.

This impressive property features a thoughtful reverse-level design that places the living area upstairs and the bedrooms downstairs to make the most of the stunning estuary views. The entrance on the ground floor leads to the two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The inviting open-plan living area upstairs benefits from high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with natural light. This bright space with colourful furniture and pictures on the wall offers a lounge area with three sofas and a Smart TV, perfect for the family to relax together and enjoy a movie, play games or take in the amazing views. The kitchen and dining area are at the opposite end of the property to the lounge. As both are open plan, everyone can join in the cooking. Outside, a shared patio area with plenty of seating awaits for evenings of al fresco dining in fine weather.

There are plenty of family days out to choose from as the edge of the Lake District National Park is less than 15 miles away. The Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway (seasonal) is 11.5 miles away, Holker Hall and Gardens is 16 miles away, or you could take a trip to Coniston Water (12 miles) and kayak or canoe to Wild Cat Island.

This was my first visit to the beautifully renovated Coach House, and I very much hope to visit again this real home-from-home. Chris provided excellent, helpful instructions for entering the property, and a lovely welcome gift of goodies. The EV charger was a great attraction, although with the narrow entrance to the courtyard perhaps not for the Read moremore nervous driver. The views from the lounge and terrace were stunning, and the Isle of Man could be clearly seen one evening. The house was absolutely spotless, very well-equipped indeed, beautifully presented - and with an excellent mattress for restful nights. Askam is a brilliant location for local coastal walks, including at Walney and Kirkby-in-Furness, and also slightly farther afield at the stunning Silecroft beach. When walking on Black Combe, saw only one couple on the whole of the walk. A truly stunning location and so tranquil compared to the tourist hot spots of Lakeland. Chris and Peter are the perfect hosts (there for just the weekend when I visited): friendly, and helpful, but also thoughtful and never intrusive. Hide

We just had a fantastic stay at the coach house. We were a party of two couples. The house is very spacious and well equipped for all needs and entertainment.

We stayed at The Coach House in Ireleth , outside Askam in Furness, drawn by the setting and by how peaceful it was during the heatwaves in June and July. The property itself is lovely, and for most of our stay the patio at the rear of the coach house lived up to the listing genuinely a delightful, peaceful spot for al fresco dining, with the sea Read moreviews promised. We really appreciated the new renovations, the new furniture, tasteful decor, and plenty of seating areas with wonderful views from the full length windows overlooking the bay in the distance. It was the perfect place for reading and doing some writing , as it was so peaceful. The location was great for exploring the south lakes, and we went to Cartmel, Holker Hall, Coniston, Windermere. It was easy to walk to the beach at Askam once we had worked out which road leads to the beach as there are no signs anywhere. There was only one decent grocery shop ( Co-Op) in Askam, and no village pub unfortunately. For a bigger supermarket , there was a Booths in Ulveston. The only decent pub was in Cartmel. There are a few lovely walks, and walking on the Askam beach was great. The only downside is the close proximity to the Parsonage. The inner courtyard patio is shared, but guests at the coach house have their own patio anyway. Most guests staying in the main house respect that boundary. But during the end of our stay, a family with three young children and various other people arrived and that boundary wasn't respected at all: the children ran onto our patio repeatedly, which is genuinely dangerous given the sheer drop at its edge. They played racket games in the courtyard, yelling, and the whole atmosphere was ruined. This took the edge off the restorative benefits of our holiday. By 8am the next morning there was an outdoor fitness class running in the courtyard with a trainer, in full view of our ground-floor bedroom windows. The noise was unbearable. Having a house that can accommodate 10 people is definitely a negative point here because the energy from all those people spills over into the coach house area. I don't know why guests didn't use their own lawned garden at the side of the house. It also makes parking extremely difficult as there is no space for parking when Parsonage guests arrive and stay in several cars. All in all a wonderful property but the proximity to such a large house is too disruptive and we would sadly not stay here again. Hide
