Immerse yourself in the gorgeous countryside in this part of the Lake District with all the family - including your canine companion - staying in this barn conversion which oozes charm inside and out. From here, you can explore the wonderful walking trails of Hawkshead, Outgate and the circular route of Tarn Hows.
This lovingly converted upside-down barn seamlessly blends contemporary touches with the property’s original features to create a characterful living space for families. Opening up into a large hall, you’ll be greeted by warming underfloor heating, ample storage space and a large utility room before heading through to the single bedroom. The room has beams across the ceilings and a quaint window in fitting with the history of the property. The main open-plan living spaces of the conversion are located up a bespoke oak staircase, so you can make the most of the views. Relax in front of the wood burner and TV for a quiet night in or enjoy preparing a family meal in the country-style kitchen where you’ll also find a dining table for six underneath the bright skylights. Completing the sleeping arrangements are the upstairs bedrooms, which include two king-size bedrooms boasting an en-suite shower room and an en-suite bathroom allowing extra privacy. Finally, there is a family shower room where you can refresh after a day out exploring. The outside area is an enclosed garden just across the lane where those on four legs as well as two can burn off some energy and marvel at the landscapes.
From the hamlet of Knipefold where this property lies, travel to Hawkshead village (1 mile) with a small selection of dog-friendly cafes and restaurants for a bite to eat. Just south of Hawkshead is Esthwaite Water where you have an adventure with your canine wandering through the patchwork landscapes over to Lake Windermere. Alternatively, head to Coniston Water (4 miles) for the National Trust’s Steam Yacht Gondola (7 miles) where top dogs can jump aboard the outer decks for a leisurely afternoon.
