Set in a peaceful spot in the Augill Castle grounds, this property is ideal for couples who love lacing up their boots and heading straight into nature. Just a mile to the south, the North Pennines open up with heather-covered trails and far-reaching views, including the stunning walk to Nine Standards Rigg (9 miles), where a series of ancient cairns line the ridgeline above Kirkby Stephen (5 miles). To the north, the Yorkshire Dales tempt with quiet valleys and dramatic climbs, including the iconic route to High Cup Nick (10 miles), where the U-shaped glacial valley cuts deep into the landscape. The Lake District’s fells, 25 miles away, add yet more variety. After a day on the hills, enjoy a relaxed evening in nearby Brough (2 miles) or Appleby-in-Westmorland (9.5 miles), perfect for hearty food and quiet charm.
Retreat to this delightful, cosy cottage set on the private grounds of Augill Castle. Step into the welcoming lounge/diner, where a comfortable sofa and deep chairs are neatly arranged around the central wood burner and Smart TV. Here is the perfect spot to unwind with a tipple and arrange your plans for the week ahead. Beyond the living space is a pretty cottage-style kitchen with sleek units and lovely neutral tones. Whip up family favourites before serving around the table laid for four. Upstairs on the first floor, the property boasts two good-sized bedrooms: a tasteful double bedroom at the front of the bolthole and a cosy twin room at the rear. The modest bathroom is located on this floor and has been fitted with a bath, shower and WC.
From the kitchen, head through the back door and discover a lovely lawned garden with a patio-style area for seating. Enjoy a cuppa and a slice of Yorkshire parkin in the sunshine while watching the children run along the grass.
