Sitting within its own grounds in a peaceful village-edge position, this handsome holiday home is well-placed for waggy-tailed walks in the Western Lake District and along the Solway Coast. A choice of social spaces and fun additions such as a cinema room, piano and pool table ensure entertainment for all ages.
Your pair of well-heeled pups will love sniffing out the countryside that surrounds this impressive stone property. Ample driveway parking makes it easy to unload dogs and luggage; leave your outdoor gear in the entrance hallway, and, to your left, a characterful lounge sets the scene for companionable evenings before the wood burner and Smart TV. Across the hallway, the elegant piano/library room offers a peaceful retreat; curl up on the egg chair while the dogs doze at your feet. As tummies start to rumble, the country-style kitchen has all the must-haves of home; cook up a Cumbrian feast, take your seats in the striking dining room, then enjoy a game of pool or air hockey for after-dinner fun. Downstairs, the snug-style cinema room – complete with a projector and games console – is a brilliant break-out space, while upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms: one a super-king-size and the others all king-size. A family bathroom and a separate shower room complete the comfort for all. Enclosed gardens wrap around the property, with plenty of lawn space for ball games, outdoor seating and a BBQ.
Many of Cumbria’s most memorable landscapes are in reach – the beautiful lakes of Loweswater, Crummock Water and Buttermere all within 18 miles, while Whinlatter Forest Park is 12 miles away. Well-heeled pups will enjoy a trip to the Georgian market town of Cockermouth (5 miles), home to independent shops and an appetite-whetting choice of inns and eateries. Alternatively, explore the Solway Coast National Landscape, known for its rich birdlife and long sandy beaches.
