Experience a taste of life in the countryside from this rustic renovated farmhouse discovering the marvellous mountains and lakes around Cumbia’s Kendal. This characterful property, which dates back to the 15th century, is a perfect base to make memories with a group of friends or the extended family.
Entering the door to the property there is a spacious hallway to hang coats and muddy boots after a long day out exploring. A wooden door leads into the main farmhouse with a gorgeous open-plan living/dining/kitchen area with sumptuous seating around a roaring wood burner creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere, and there’s a Smart TV too for your favourite shows. Behind the seating area sits a beautiful, country-style kitchen with ample storage and surface area to cook up a feast for all the family, which can be served up on the oak dining table for ten. There is also a convenient utility area for washing with an additional sink. A second sitting room offers time to relax and recoup, with more cushy seating and a second wood burner – it’s a great space for spending quality time together, or taking some time away. The master bedroom sits on the first floor, one of the oldest parts of the farmhouse, and boasts a number of original charming features, a king-size bed and luxurious en-suite bathrooms with both a bath and walk-in shower. A staircase from the open-plan living/dining room/kitchen leads up a staircase and through to the second king-size room, benefitting from marvellous views over the fells. There is a further twin room and king-size room, both of which also enjoy countryside views and a final twin room, each with quirky features nodding to the property’s past. The final room in the property is a spacious tiled bathroom with a bath and a walk-in shower, great for unwinding at the end of the day. The garden is an enclosed area surrounding the property with stunning views, an aromatic herb garden and tables with chairs, allowing all guests to enjoy the great outdoors.
Located just 3.5 miles from the market town of Kendal, within the rolling countryside, there is so much to explore, starting with walks right from the doorstep and around the private settlement. In the village, there’s an array of eateries from quaint cafes and pubs to well-regarded restaurants, bakeries and breweries. Kendal Castle is a great walking route for dogs and humans alike stretching 2 miles in total, past the River Kent and provides panoramic views from its prominent position. Windermere is 11 miles away for water sports on the lake, gentle strolls and picnics, great for all ages.
