This lovely cottage is situated in a serene and tranquil hamlet towards the southern end of Coniston Water. Take the private pathway to the lake where you will find a private beach for residents of the estate, or take one of the many walking routes leading into the woodlands and around the lake. Hop in a kayak and paddle to Peel Island, or Wild Cat Island, made famous by the novel, Swallows and Amazons. Keen walkers will enjoy climbing The Old Man of Coniston (6 miles), a fell with remarkable views from the summit across the Lake District. There s plenty to do at Coniston Water including hiring a pedal boat or taking a gondola ride, yet you ll be well placed to explore the south of the Lake District too. Enter the slate home into a spacious hallway, where guests can hang their coats and boots after a busy day trekking the fells. A handy WC is situated off the hallway and a little further down is the lounge/diner. Fire up the wood burner and take a seat on one of the sofas while watching a film on the TV, or your favourite series on Netflix. There is a six seater dining table for enjoying a home cooked meal together. Through to the kitchen, you will find an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washing machine/tumble dryer for convenience. A back door leads out onto the garden s patio area. Upstairs are three bedrooms. The master suite has a double bed and en suite with a walk in shower and WC. The other two bedrooms are twin rooms with lovely woodland views, and share a family bathroom with a WC and a shower over the bath. To the rear of the property is a lovely patio area with a dining table, chairs and a BBQ. There is sloping woodland immediately beyond the patio, and you may just spot one of the many different birds or other wildlife animals that visit here. The house is set in a private courtyard and parking for two cars is available at the courtyard entrance. A short, dog friendly walk from the estate leads to a private swimming beach shared by residents. Part of the woodland was severely hit by storms in late 2021, causing fallen trees and damaged pathways which will take a while to repair. Guests are still able to access much of the woodland, but care must be taken.
