Nestled a stone's throw from the peaceful shores of Coniston Water, this welcoming getaway offers the perfect base for families or groups of friends keen to explore the surrounding fells and lakes. This beautiful location at the foot of one of Cumbria's most popular fells, the Old Man of Coniston, provides easy access to Coniston's wonderful selection of pubs, shops and cafes. Hire a canoe, paddleboard or kayak to explore the tranquil waters of Coniston Water, less than a mile from the doorstep. Don't miss a visit to Brantwood, 2.5 miles away, the former home of John Ruskin, with spectacular gardens and lake views to enjoy. Surrounded by low-lying hills with spectacular views across to the higher Coniston fells, Beacon Tarn, 8 miles away, offers some of the best walking country in the southern Lake District.

Beneath the charming red brick exterior, you'll find an oasis of quirky charm in the cosy lounge that greets you; a bold colour palette and homely touches set a wonderfully peaceful ambience. Beyond the lounge is a light and bright dining area with banquette seating, ideal for enjoying hearty breakfasts and delicious dinners with loved ones. The adjoining handcrafted country cottage-style kitchen will capture your imagination, equipped with everything you need to get creative with your new local flavours. Upstairs, the first floor encompasses a beautiful en-suite double bedroom with lovely views towards the Old Man of Coniston and a cosy twin bedroom that looks out over Yewdale Fell. On the second floor, the king-size bedroom offers a serene and stylish retreat with sweeping views of the fells to wake up to. Across the landing on this floor, you're met with a sophisticated bathroom with a roll-top bath perfectly positioned to enjoy lovely views of the village.

Outside, you'll find an enclosed courtyard leading to a detached lawned garden across the lane, perfect for outdoor dining or a peaceful morning coffee. The patio area in front of the garage provides extra seating, and the garage itself offers secure storage for bikes and outdoor equipment, ideal for adventure seekers.
