About this property

A captivating cottage resting on the banks of Force Beck and nestled at the edge of Grizedale Forrest, Greystones is an idyllic location from which to spend some long overdue quality time together with both your friends and family. In addition to its magical setting, this property offers a welcoming ambience, with comfortable furniture, stunning views, generous living space and three lovely bedrooms. Approached by a private drive, the cottage has off-road parking for three cars, making loading and unloading an easy task; stepping inside, the entrance hall has plenty of space for walking gear, perfect for housing your belongings away from the main living areas. Venturing through, discover the light and airy sitting room, flooded with natural light welcomed in through the patio doors and housing a warming open fire; a lovely spot for a lazy evening in front of the television following a day of adventure. 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. Jump in the car and visit the nearby village of Hawkshead, home to an array of essential amenities, including high-street and independent shops, perfect for picking up a keepsake to remind you of your fantastic holiday, as well as a handful of delicious eateries, promising to serve something to suit every taste and budget. Venture further afield and visit the tranquil waters of the world-renowned Lake Windermere, the largest lake in the country, where thrill seekers can tackle the waters with a session in stand-up paddle boarding or kayaking, or if that's not your thing, board the lake cruise and explore the tourist towns of Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside. Enjoy this beautiful part of the Lake District with a stay at Greystones.

Set between the tranquil waters of Lake Windermere and Coniston Water rests the peaceful village of Satterthwaite. Enjoying a picturesque location, the village is surrounded by the stunning landscape of the Lake District National Park, providing the perfect base for walking and outdoor adventure.
