A charming Lakeland retreat, this attractive former coach house offers a beautiful blend of original charm and contemporary comfort. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom cottage nestles in picturesque surroundings, with a friendly inn less than 1.5 miles away, and the pretty market village of Hawkshead (1.5 miles) featuring quaint shops and eateries. From the back door, explore the beautiful fells of the national park, including Black Crag, or head out on two wheels to Grizedale Forest (1 mile) for mountain biking opportunities. Walk less than 2 miles to the National Trust’s Tarn Hows, with its woodland walks and waterfalls. Venture 3 miles to Coniston Water to board a steam yacht gondola out on the water. While away an afternoon in Ambleside, 4 miles away, meandering through the shops and pausing for tea in a cafe. From here, make your way just over 0.5 miles to take a cruise on Windermere, England’s largest lake.
Let your friends and family into this friendly, three-storey Lake District hideaway to discover it has ample space for you all. From the front door, make your way into the open-plan kitchen/diner, with its beamed ceiling. Prepare hearty meals in here for your party, then set the long, wooden table as your feast roasts in the range-style oven. Take a step down into the games room to challenge each other to table football or darts. There is also a sofa in here and access to a WC. Climb the stairs up to the first floor of the house to emerge in a generous hallway leading to the rear terrace and your private parking space. Take a step down into the welcoming lounge, where you can gather for movie nights and stoke up the wood burner during the autumn and winter months. Two of your bedrooms, the attractive super-king-size and the twin, are also here, together with the family bathroom. Venture on up to the top level of the property to find a family suite encompassing a gorgeous double bedroom leading to a dressing room and another double bedroom. There is also a handy family shower room on this floor.
Spill out into the delightful, terraced garden on fine days. Bask in the sunshine on the patio or enjoy the various levels of this enclosed space. The cottage comes with private parking for two cars, found at the front and rear, with additional roadside parking available nearby.
