Making a delightful holiday retreat for up to six guests, this country cottage is a great base for families, adventurers and wildlife watchers exploring the idyllic countryside along the border of Cumbria and North Yorkshire. Perfect for encountering the upper stretches of the Lune Valley, the property lies within the tranquil hamlet of Greenholme, just outside the historic village of Tebay (3.5 miles), which is home to a friendly pub and the earthwork remains of Castle Howe. Heading north, Orton (3 miles) is a lovely village known for its famous chocolate shop. The charming market towns of Appleby, Kendal, Sedbergh and Penrith are all within 18 miles. Walkers can explore Orton Scar, Great Asby Scar National Nature Reserve and Cautley Spout, all within 15 miles. Other local landmarks include Windermere, Gunnerkeld Stone Circle, Haweswater Reservoir and Rutter Force, all within 17 miles.
Entering this beautiful, traditional country cottage, a welcoming hallway leads you past a convenient utility room and through to a characterful farmhouse kitchen. With a charming central breakfast table and ample equipment, this lovely space also has plenty of storage and workspace so you can rustle up all your favourite family dishes. Exploring this bright and relaxing retreat further, the spacious lounge/diner is a great space for everyone to gather and unwind, featuring a Smart TV, plush seating, a sociable dining table and a roaring wood burner set in an eye-catching inglenook. For a more active evening, head through to the games room which has a mini pool table, table football and dartboard, alongside another Smart TV. The ground floor also features a shower room. Heading upstairs you will find a refreshing bathroom – with a sumptuous freestanding bath, separate shower cubicle, skylight and towel rail – and three elegantly decorated bedrooms. The first is a cosy king-size room, alongside a snug twin and a zip-and-link super-king-size room which can be made up as a twin on request. Please note some of the rooms have low sloping ceilings.
From the dining area, French doors lead out into the charming enclosed garden which features a sweet patio area with plenty of outdoor furniture and a soothing hot tub for you to luxuriate in. There’s also a pretty lawn and idyllic views towards the river. Ample parking is available for three cars.
