Tucked away in the bustling market town of Ulverston, this home offers easy access to the Lake District National Park and the Cumbrian coast. While the town isn't much of a tourist attraction, step out, and you'll find yourself yards from its cobbled high street, with a butcher, a baker, and a greengrocer (no candlestick maker, unfortunately) within 100 yards of the front door. Given the region's changeable weather, the proximity of the art deco Roxy cinema is bound to be a bonus. Alternatively, seek out scene-stealing natural beauty 9 miles away at Coniston Water or Windermere. Meanwhile, Scafell Pike offers a challenging uphill hike, around an hour from home.
