Leave the rat race and go on holiday to this five-bed house in Askam-in-Furness village, with great views over the Duddon Estuary. The Lake District National Park starts just 5 miles from this traditional property, making it an ideal base for exploring lakes like Coniston Water (14 miles) alongside quaint towns and hills. Add in the coastline of the Furness Peninsula and you’ve got lots of options, making this spacious and versatile house appealing to both an extended family or friendship group.
You’ll feel thoroughly spoilt in this characterful Lakeland house which has stacks to offer both inside and out. There’s a wood burner to cosy up by in the snug, and another in a further comfortable seating area with a dining table. But, in warmer weather, you’re more likely to enjoy spending time in the generous conservatory with another dining table as well as comfortable seating. You can access the exterior space from here and enjoy sundowners with sea views from the patio or dine alfresco in the shared courtyard. The large kitchen has a rustic vibe with its Aga, beamed ceiling and tiled floor. After dinner, retire to the lovely triple-aspect lounge, complete with sumptuous sofa seating, a piano and yet another table for a relaxed yet grand feel. Two sets of stairs go up to the sleeping accommodation which comprises two king-size and three double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite. All of the bedrooms are lovely, exuding calm for a great night’s sleep.
Get to know the Cumbrian coastline which is within 1 mile – you can walk to the Duddon Estuary through the village that also has a train station, takeaways and a pub serving drinks at weekends. Or enjoy forays into the Lake District National Park to experience the majesty of its hills, lakes and fells.
