Ideally located for exploring both the coast and the Lake District National Park, this inviting cottage is a charming home away from home, perfect for friends or family to get away from it all in the wonderful Cumbrian countryside. Recently refurbished, this delightful property offers a fabulous combination of chic modern finishes alongside lovingly preserved original features.
Enter this welcoming home and into the cosy lounge/diner, a tranquil oasis where you can sink into the comfortable sofas and unwind in front of the cosy fireplace, complete with a beam mantle and wood burner-effect electric fire. In the next room, discover a spacious kitchen with its central island and breakfast bar, the perfect spot to gather with loved ones to plan the next day’s activities over a delicious meal prepared in the stylish kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find three luxurious bedrooms: a twin room with an ornamental fireplace, a double room with a low cottage window and pretty views of the village, and a king size bedroom that overlooks the rolling fields beyond. There is also a lovely family bathroom for a relaxing soak at the end of the day. Outside, a raised garden with a lawn and seating area is a fantastic place to enjoy a leisurely breakfast or share an evening drink with friends and family against a backdrop of rural views.
