Located in the peaceful village of Finsthwaite on the south-western reach of Lake Windermere, this fantastic cottage is brimming with charm and character. There are many scenic walks on the doorstep and its proximity to the lake makes this a great choice for those looking to get back to nature. Accommodating four people, it would ideally suit couples or a small family looking for a peaceful retreat.
With exposed beams, period features and antique furniture throughout, this property offers a real home-from-home, in a tranquil location. The open-plan living area is both spacious and inviting, with a high pitched ceiling and wooden flooring. Gather around the open fire on chillier evenings, as you unwind on the comfortable sofas for an evening of relaxation. A large table in the dining area is suitable for more formal dinners, while the table in the farmhouse-style kitchen is great for breakfast and snacks. This room is reached via a small flight of steps which lead down from the living room. From here, double doors open into a sunny conservatory which is a delightful additional space for curling up with a good book or enjoying your morning coffee. A restful en-suite double bedroom is on the ground floor, while up a winding staircase you’ll find the en-suite master bedroom, another pretty and calming room. Step outside from the conservatory and take a seat in the large garden, which is dissected by a small beck coursing down over little waterfalls.
