Both outside and in, this stunning period property is a wonderful destination for families and friends with a games room, two reception rooms and fantastic outdoor spaces.
Located in an idyllic position between Cockermouth and Keswick, this marvellous property is brimming with history and offers a unique vantage point for six humans and an accompanying hound. There are outdoor adventures, activities galore and more pup-friendly pubs than you can shake a stick at throughout the Lake District National Park, and your excellent garden has formal tiered gardens and woodland to investigate too.
Inside is a marvellous blend of old and new with period features and contemporary style at every turn, creating a cosy ambience for snuggling up with a few well-earned treats. Tufty-pawed guests can snooze in comfort by the roaring open fire in the lounge or accompany you as you take tea in the snug, bagging the best spot in front of the wood burner. There’s a farmhouse kitchen complete with an Aga for cooking traditional meals, and the dining room is fit for family feasts. In terms of convenience, there’s a utility room in the outhouse to take care of muddy paws, and the grounds are a delight to explore. Completing the property is a generous bathroom and three bedrooms including an impressive room with a four-poster bed and an en-suite bathroom. There’s even a games room outside for some healthy competition.
Situated close to the River Derwent, your abode is an excellent base for walking, fishing and cycling as well as a whole host of other exciting activities that will set tails wagging. Watch Hill lies just 2 miles away, and the serene shores of Bassenthwaite Lake (14 miles) are a must for soaking up the views and enjoying the wildlife. For those partial to a tipple, the Lakes Distillery is positioned at the northern reaches of the lake and offers dog-friendly areas such as the courtyard dining area.
