Perched on the north-eastern shore of Coniston Water, this elegant Georgian house offers a magical base for your Lake District adventures. Providing ample accommodation for twelve guests and welcoming two happy hounds, it’s ideal for families and groups of friends that love the great outdoors. Backed by a rugged mountain range with awe-inspiring views across the lake, it’s easy to see why this property inspired the likes of William Turner and welcomed many famous guests over the years.
Inside, this property is every bit as grand as it appears from the exterior, offering a beguiling blend of traditional and contemporary decor that really sets it apart. With a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the mountains, the expansive lounge invites relaxing evenings, with space for everybody to gather in comfort while the pups stretch out before the open fire. The handsome fitted kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals for your entire pack, including an impressive AGA. There’s a table here for casual meals, as well as a formal dining room with dual-aspect windows offering yet more delightful views. On warm evenings, dine alfresco on the terrace amid ambient lighting and peaceful surroundings, while your pups potter around the lawn. As night falls, choose between six relaxing and inviting bedrooms, three king-size and three twin rooms, two of which are beneath the eaves in the attic. Three bathrooms plus two additional WCs offer comfort and convenience for all.
Enjoy lakeside picnics on your private shore, shared with a handful of neighbouring properties, or bring your own boat to launch from the jetty. Your canine companions can join you on a lake cruise around the water, and you’ll have a ball discovering the many trails over the legendary fell, the Old Man of Coniston (1.5 miles). Further afield, sniff out adventure as you explore the numerous trails through Grizedale Forest (6 miles).
