How Head House is a very special place. It is set in one of the most idyllic locations in all of the Lake District with spectacular views out every window. Located on the north eastern corner of Coniston water, the house has sweeping views of the lake, the village and the magnificent mountain Coniston Old Man. The home is thoughtfully furnished and decorated.
From the minute you step inside the front door, you will be delighted. An elevated ceiling shows the exposed beams from centuries past, and you are welcomed into a spacious inviting dining room. To one side there is a short staircase which leads to a lounge area with a wood-burning stove and cozy seating with a SmartTV in the corner. Returning back up from this seating area through the dining room you will find the kitchen. The kitchen is warm and inviting and well equipped with gas hob, oven, microwave and large American-style refrigerator - a great place for creating your evening meal. This level also has the master bedroom off the dining room, which features a super king size bed, well-positioned sofa to take in those gorgeous views and an en-suite bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Head to the lower ground floor, where you find the remaining four bedrooms, including a super king size room, a twin bedroom, two single rooms, a family bathroom, WC and laundry. Across the driveway is the spacious games room with pool table, sitting area, kitchenette, and WC. Through the French doors off the games room facing the lake there is a patio with a large outdoor table and chair - with seating for eight people – a great place for your evening glass of wine or your morning cup of coffee.
You will find plenty to do in and around the property and there are lots of walks and bike rides which you can start right from the front door. If you need supplies, there is everything in the village, (a gentle mile and a half away) to Hutchinson ’s family Butcher and the Co-Op. Just some of the few places to visit locally… John Ruskin's house Brantwood with the Terrace restaurant, Hawkshead Village, Coniston boat house and the Bluebird café, the Black Bull pub and brewery in the village with its Bluebird series of beers, the Herdwick Café and Sara's Indian restaurant. How Head House is truly a wonderful place to spend your lake district holiday.
