Be charmed by the amply-equipped kitchen, a chef's dream, housing all of the essential amenities and fitted with elegant worktops and a stylish breakfast bar. Cook up a storm and gather together around the grand table taking centre stage in the neighbouring dining room, or head outdoors for a spot of alfresco dining on the colourful patio; on a warm summers evening, why not fire up the barbeque? When sleep calls, climb the stairs to the first floor where you'll find a spacious family bathroom alongside three thoughtfully laid-out bedrooms, a king-size, fitted with its own en-suite shower room, a double and a twin, each framing picture-perfect views of the surrounding countryside. There's a plethora of walking and cycling trails leading directly from your doorstep, with the property encompassed by the scenic landscape of the Lake District National Park; enjoy a leisurely stroll along the banks of Coniston Water, or lace up your boots and tackle the challenging climb to the summit of Scaffel Pike, the tallest mountain in England.
