addremove
Sitting in a gloriously remote location at the mouth of St John s in the Vale, this delightful cottage is well placed to make the most of the Lake District s offerings. The lakes make an excellent setting for a leisurely stroll or a more strenuous hike, all with something different to offer. Go nature spotting Bassenthwaite is well known for its nesting ospreys and you can hire a rowing boat or hop on the steamer at Derwentwater. Outdoor capital, Keswick, sits on the northern shores of Derwentwater with its independent shops, eateries and outdoor specialists. Keen walkers/cyclists will be pleased that Blencathra, Helvellyn and Skiddaw are also nearby, where a range of routes and trails lead to spectacular views. Grasmere is also worth a visit for its gingerbread and Wordsworth connections. This stunning, sympathetically restored cottage built in the 1500s is immaculately presented. Original features, such as exposed beams and flagstone floors, have been effortlessly combined with contemporary décor to create a homely cottage feel. The lounge/diner is at the hub of the house with a wood burner and comfortable sofas for snuggling up of an evening. There is ample seating for everyone around the dining table, whether you re eating, playing or planning! The kitchen is well equipped, whilst the utility room is a welcome addition for storing muddy boots. Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom. From the kitchen, head up the stairs to the first floor. Here you ll find the king size bedroom with stunning views of Skiddaw, and the twin room with views of the garden, both of which are spacious and tastefully decorated. Outside, there is a large orchard style garden. There are several places to sit quietly or dine al fresco, whilst enjoying the beautiful views. The sound of the stream running through the garden will also add to the sense of calm and relaxation.
