Boasting an impressive location on the north-eastern shore of Coniston Water, this gorgeous barn conversion is a wonderful base for a break with friends or family. Accommodating up to six people, it’s located on a small country estate with guests enjoying access to its private lake shoreline. With the village of Coniston and local pubs 1.5 miles away, and some great walks and hikes passing the front door, this is a true rural retreat.
This delightful semi-detached property shares a courtyard with four other holiday homes and is characterful and homely throughout. The light-filled kitchen is a lovely spot for cooking up a delicious family meal, which your guests can enjoy while gathered around the spacious dining table. The roomy yet cosy lounge is a sociable place for everyone to relax and unwind, with comfortable sofas and a wood burner to add to the room’s peaceful ambience. Off the main hallway on this level is the small bunk bedroom, which is under a sloping ceiling and ideal for children, though fine for adults too. A pretty king-size room is also on this floor. Heading upstairs, you will find a further twin bedroom with sloping ceilings, along with a large bathroom which features a whirlpool bath. Take in the stunning views from the sunny patio outside, which opens out onto a large walled garden.
Wander down to the estate’s lakeshore edge and have a paddle and a picnic. You can even moor your own boat here. Coniston Water itself has something for the whole family, including scenic walks, water sports and boat trips. Grizedale Forest (6 miles) is a great family day out with woodland strolls and sculpture trails.
