This charming semi-detached converted barn is located in the hamlet of Colthouse, a short stroll from Hawkshead. The perfect bolt hole for a family vacation in the beautiful countryside.
Discover the Lake District National Park from the quintessential vantage point of Hawkshead, a pretty village steeped in history. Offering ample socialising and sleeping space for six, this family-friendly abode is an ideal base for your explorations just 0.5 miles from the heart of the village. Return from scenic walks to a crackling coal wood burner and some locally sourced treats on chilly evenings, but when the weather is fine, the large garden is glorious for al fresco meals.
Beamed ceilings, slate floors and a charming stone exterior set the scene from the moment you approach your home-away-from-home. Cook up a storm in the kitchen and transform hand-selected produce into a feast, best enjoyed around the farmhouse-style table in the lounge. This space is the ultimate relaxing spot with its deep sofas and coal wood burner, so you’ll soon find yourself lost in a good book or your favourite films. Upstairs, the bedrooms are crisply dressed and ready for slumber, just beware of reduced head height in the double. Completing the property is the large garden with its attractive patio area, and there is off-road parking for two cars.
Hawkshead is best known for being the former home of William Wordsworth and regularly frequented by Beatrix Potter herself, it’s a charming destination with cobbled streets, friendly eateries and chocolate-box cottages seemingly lost in time. Coniston Water lies just 5 miles away, promising an exciting day out on the water whether you are tempted by sailing or would prefer a leisure cruise. Grizedale Forest is another excellent destination for adventure-seekers 3 miles away, as is the imposing Old Man of Coniston 5.5 miles away.
