Nestled on the southern edge of the Lake District National Park, this beautiful period property is perfect for large families or groups of friends who want to explore the natural beauty of the Cumbrian coast and countryside. Georgian market town, Broughton-in Furness, is less than 2 miles away with a few quaint pubs and eateries on offer. It’s also a good starting point for gentle countryside strolls in the picturesque Duddon Valley. You’re also well-placed to explore the Southern Lakes, which offer scenic walking routes, water sports and charming lakeside towns and villages.
This beautifully-presented, terrace property is deceptively spacious, with original features adding charm and character throughout. Discard coats and shoes in the hall, before heading into the cosy lounge to warm up in front of the open fire. When it’s time for tea, the well-equipped, contemporary kitchen has everything you’ll need, whilst there is plenty of space in the dining room for everyone to eat together. Arranged over the first and second floors, there are four bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. Outside, a long, narrow front garden with sea views is ideal for lively children and dogs. There is bike storage in the backyard.
Whether you prefer gentle strolls or more strenuous hikes, the delightful village of Coniston (11 miles) on the shores of Coniston Water is a good starting point. Just north of there, you’ll find a traffic-free village, Hawkshead (15 miles) which is close to Hill Top (17 miles), once the home of Beatrix Potter. Heading further east you’ll arrive at Lake Windermere, the largest of the National Park’s lakes. If you’re looking for adventures amongst the trees, Grizedale Forest (15 miles) has lots of activities on offer. For something more leisurely, head to Ravenglass (14.5 miles) for a scenic train ride through the Eskdale Valley.
