This detached property makes a brilliant base for groups of friends and family keen to explore the Lake District’s western edge. It sits in the lovely village of Gosforth, where you can explore quaint shops and welcoming eateries. To the west, the Cumbrian coastline offers wide beaches and fresh sea air, while inland you’re perfectly placed for classic Lake District adventures. Scafell Pike (14 miles) beckons if you’re keen to conquer England’s highest peak, with the starting point at Wasdale Head 9 miles away. Wast Water (6 miles) delivers dramatic scenery beneath towering fells, while Buttermere (20 miles) and Loweswater (18 miles) offer gentler walks and peaceful picnic spots. Whether you’re planning hikes, water sports or scenic drives through famous lake-country landscapes, you’ll find lots to fill the days.
Stepping through the front door, drop off coats and walking boots in the hallway before settling in. The lounge forms the heart of the house and is divided into two areas: one with a comfortable corner sofa and Smart TV, and the other a cosy snug beyond sliding doors with additional seating. Through an archway is the well-equipped kitchen with everything centred around a gas AGA to inspire your inner chef. The oak dining table provides the perfect feasting spot. To the rear, a bright conservatory provides a peaceful spot to unwind, with garden views and comfy armchairs. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms – one with a super-king-size zip-and-link bed that can be made up as a twin on request, and two double rooms. The bathroom has a roll-top bath for relaxing soaks, and a separate shower.
Step outside to a generous garden which has a decked area for dining and a lawn. On warm evenings, you can fire up the BBQ. There is a long drive with two parking spaces, plus additional on-street parking.
