Enjoy a romantic couples’ escape at this period cottage, located on the privately-owned Atkinson Ground Estate in the heart of the Lake District. Nestled close to Coniston Water, you’ll find ample mountain and lakeside walks on your doorstep - making it the perfect place to explore with a canine companion. And once you’ve finished exploring, return to your home away from home and relax beside the wood burner with a well-earned glass of wine.
Character and charm ooze from this property, where traditional and contemporary decor combine to achieve a homely and cosy ambiance. Step through the oak front door and into the open-plan kitchen/diner, where you can cook a romantic meal or quick breakfast beneath the traditional exposed beams. Stairs lead up to the warm and welcoming lounge - the perfect place to unwind in the evening and watch a film with your loved one. In the summer months, venture out to the small patio area to the front of the cottage which makes for a peaceful spot for a delicious BBQ or al fresco drink. Back inside though, a further stairway takes you from the lounge to the king-size bedroom, which has been tastefully decorated in neutral tones and features a decorative fireplace and a delightful window seat so you can sit and take in the incredible countryside view.
Explore the northeast head of Coniston Water and its spectacular scenery. The surrounding rugged mountain ranges offer a challenging but enjoyable trek for adventurous walkers, while the local area offers far more gentle strolls for all abilities. Lake Windermere is just 7.5 miles from the property, with plenty of boat trips, water sports, and lakeside walks to enjoy. Grizedale Forest (5.5 miles) also offers ample woodland walks as well as plenty of sticks for your hound to fetch.
