Enjoy a special gathering of friends or family in this spacious house with a huge garden and a games room. In a quiet location surrounded by beautiful countryside, it is perfectly placed for exploring South Cumbria and the Lake District.
Five stone steps lead to the front door of this impressive, whitewashed cottage. Inside, the airy lounge consists of two seating spaces, one gathered around the wood burner and Smart TV and another, smaller area that’s a great option for board games or reading. The large kitchen is open-plan to the dining area in the bay window, making this a sociable place for preparing and sharing meals. Four of the five bedrooms are on the ground floor, overlooking the garden. One of the double rooms has an en-suite bathroom and French doors opening onto a peaceful courtyard, and the other has an en-suite shower room. The two zip-and-link twin rooms (which can be joined to create two king beds on request) share a family bathroom. Upstairs, the king-size bedroom boasts a Juliet balcony and stylish en-suite bathroom. Also on the first floor, there’s is a fabulous games room where you can play pool or table football, or sit back and watch TV. The garden boasts mature trees, a stream, an extensive lawn (sure to set tails wagging) and a patio with tables and chairs.
The National Trust’s Fell Foot (8.5 miles), at the southern tip of Windermere, is a lakeshore park with stunning mountain views and space for walks, games, picnics, swimming and boating. Four-legged friends are welcome on the lead in most spaces. Head to Bigland Barrow (10.5 miles) on the edge of Windermere for beautiful walks through woodland and fells, or explore the 1,600-acre estate at Sizergh, where a 3-mile circular route takes you through historic parkland and ancient woodlands to wetland which is a haven for birds.
