Perfect for family holidays or a getaway with friends, plus two canine companions, this bright and airy house in the village of Chapel Stile is beautifully decorated throughout and has an enclosed garden that’s great for games of fetch.
Drop your boots, walking gear and dog leads in the porch as you enter this spacious property, where large windows fill the open-plan living space with light. Leather sofas are gathered around the Smart TV and an impressive exposed-stone fireplace – this is a great place in which to curl up after a day out exploring, with your pups at your feet. The elegant kitchen, with integrated appliances and an American-style fridge-freezer, makes it easy to prepare delicious meals, which you can enjoy at the adjacent dining table. On the ground floor there’s also a utility room and a shower room. Head up to the first floor and you’ll find four appealing bedrooms. The main, king-size bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and there are also a king-size, twin and bunk-bed rooms sharing a handsome family bathroom. The cottage has a garden to the rear and side, with a large lawn that’s perfect for children and dogs to let off steam, plus a patio area with furniture for summer dining.
Just metres from a dog-friendly pub, the cottage is set in spectacular countryside, with a choice of walks from your front door. If you want to hop in the car, you’ll be at Waterhead in 4.5 miles, where you can join an elegant cruiser or hire a self-drive motorboat and explore Lake Windermere from the water. Wander round the shops and places to eat of Ambleside, 4.5 miles, before strolling a mile to either the Roman Fort or the spectacular waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force.
