A smart, semi-detached holiday home in the pretty village of Backbarrow, this property makes a terrific base for an active Lake District family break. At the south end of the village, the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway begins its scenic Lakeland circuit under steam power. Exploring a little further afield, kids will love the Lakes Aquarium, just 2.5 miles away, while Beatrix Potter’s charming house at Hill Top is also on the western shore of Windermere, 8 miles away. A trip to Grizedale Forest, 8 miles away, makes a terrific day out too, with walking and cycling tracks, mountain bike hire, an adventure playground and a sculpture trail.
This welcoming property has been thoughtfully appointed for a family group. On the ground floor, the elegant lounge/diner is a spacious room, enjoying light from French doors which lead out onto the patio. Here, you’ll find sofa and armchair seating around a wood burner and, to the rear of the room, a dining table and chairs for four, perfect for enjoying an evening meal together and then cosying up in front of the TV. A contemporary kitchen and a handy cloakroom complete the ground-floor accommodation. Up on the first floor, there are two good-sized bedrooms – one queen-size and one twin – and a bathroom with both a bath and an overhead shower.
Outdoors, an enclosed, fenced patio with garden furniture and a BBQ is an ideal space for fun al fresco feasts in good weather.
