Set in a quiet Cumbrian village, just 10 miles from the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s a wonderful landscape for cyclists, birdlife, and the rare natterjack toad.
This family-friendly property lies in the peaceful village of Little Clifton, surrounded by countryside. Head for the coast and discover the shingle beach and coastal town of Workington (4.5 miles) where you’ll find shops, cafes, theatres, cinema, and museums. Hop on two wheels and explore the 72-mile West Cumbria Cycle Network (4 miles) which takes in disused railway lines, coastal paths, and verdant countryside. Enjoy country drives with lake views as you discover Bassenthwaite (10 miles), Loweswater (12 miles), and Ennerdale Water (12 miles). Visit the market town of Keswick (18 miles), tee off at Cockermouth golf club (8 miles), or swing from the treetops in Whinlatter Forest Park (15 miles).
Head up the garden path and step inside this country-style cottage. Leave muddy boots in the seat chest by the front door, and hang coats in the cloakroom under the stairs before wandering to the open-plan dining and living room. Take a break after your long walk and sink into comfy seating by the warmth of the wood burner while you admire the original timber beams. Enjoy favourite programmes and films on the TV and DVD player, the thoughtful owners have even included a selection of DVDs to choose from. And let the coffee table inspire your adventures with its embedded ordnance survey map. Family meals are a breeze with the well-equipped kitchen featuring an electric oven and gas hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, and handy washing machine, along with views towards the courtyard garden. When sleepy heads nod, head upstairs to find a handsome king-size bedroom and a pretty twin bedroom, decorated in restful tones, plus a stylish and spacious family bathroom with a shower over the bath (set into an alcove), and WC.
Step out to the rear of the property where you’ll find a gravelled courtyard garden and seating by pretty summer flora, perfect on sunny afternoons. There’s also a secure shed for bike storage, along with access to the village playing field. On-road parking is available for one car, at the front of the house. Further on-road parking can be found on the road behind the terrace. There’s a pub and restaurant within a mile, and a shop nearby (1.5 miles).
