Located in the popular village of Hawkshead, this impressive four-bedroom Victorian home is a spacious hideaway for family and friends celebrating a special occasion or holiday. Welcoming up to eight guests and three canine companions, it boasts large gardens for play and exploration, with south facing views over the Esthwaite Valley. Just 5.5 miles from Lake Windermere, the property is also within walking distance of a shop, pubs and a restaurant, making this a super base for a restful break.
With its period features and elegant accommodation, this beautiful property is both homely and welcoming. At its heart is a stylish lounge with comfortable leather sofas, where your guests will be happy to unwind and relax while the open fire crackles away. The shaker-style kitchen with traditional Aga and slate floor, will appeal to the keen cooks in the family, making this a sociable space throughout the day. The dining room also features a working fire, which adds to its cosiness during family meals. Each of the bedrooms has a true country feel, decorated in neutral tones to aid a restful night. Three are to be found on the first floor, while a twin room is on the second. Stepping outside, the children and dogs can roam freely in the garden while you take a seat on the patio to enjoy a drink at the end of the day.
Stroll along Hawkshead’s cobbled streets before visiting the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which is home to many of the author’s original illustrations. Adventurers will love trying out the water sports on offer at Coniston Water (4.5 miles), while those who prefer to stay on dry land will find plenty of walking and cycling routes nearby.
