About this property

A semi-detached, three-storey cottage, located in a quiet corner of Broughton-in-Furness on the quiet south west corner of the Lake District. This cottage has been lovingly restored by the current owners to provide spacious, well-equipped accommodation which is ideal for a family or a group of friends wishing to get together and enjoy this largely undiscovered area. This cottage features an open plan living area with a warm and cosy woodburning stove, a delightful summer room, a modern kitchen and four well laid out bedrooms. Just a two-minute walk from the cottage is the charming town centre with its beautiful square lined with Georgian houses and the local pubs and restaurants. Just six miles away is Coniston Water and for the more energetic there are the challenging fells of The Old Man of Coniston and Wetherlam, which offer a stiff challenge. Visit the market town of Ulverston, or explore a little further on the coastline to Ennerdale and the magnificent Scafell Pike, the tallest point in England and probably the most beautiful area in Lakeland. A wonderful cottage, to be enjoyed at any time of the year.

Broughton-in-Furness is situated in the south of the Lake District, six miles from Coniston Water. The village has a square which is enclosed by shops, pubs and homes.

    it was good value. But i do think there is room for improvment . Think the cleanliness could be better. And i think better quality bedding and towels are needed . There is four bedrooms. but did feel cramped in the down stairs living space.

    Thank you for decorating it for Christmas, it was lovely to be able to put our presents around the tree. Although the fridge and freezer were small we compensated by using the conservatory as a cold room which helped. The beds were incredibly comfy, we all slept very well in them. The only downside for us were the steps into the property. The top step isn't large enough to safely put your foot on and also being on a slope it was a struggle for both my elderly parents and myself (bilateral knee replacements) to get in and out of the front door. We were lucky that it wasn't icy. The back door and conservatory were better exits but then we had to walk down a steep slope. Maybe some grab handles to aid us fogies would be nice, other than that the property was wonderful and we all had a brilliant Christmas together.
