About this property

This three-floored, semi-detached property sits peacefully on the remote Roa Island, the southern-most tip of Cumbria. Driftwood, 23 Roa Island comes within a stone's throw of the sea, and with many fantastic opportunities for outdoor activities nearby, it is the perfect place for friends or families wanting to try something different. Be greeted into the property by its surprisingly contemporary interior; the sitting room with its stylish flooring, seating and woodburning stove is a fabulous spot to kick back and reflect on the day's activities. Head into the spacious kitchen/diner to prepare and enjoy each mealtime, it is fully equipped and boasts a lavish, modern overtone, adding a touch of class. This home-away-from-home is set over three floors, the first and second floors are where you will find the three bedrooms decorated in a stunning fashion. A luscious family shower room also sits on the first floor. The second floor is occupied by the master bedroom, benefiting from another beautiful shower room en-suite as well as enjoying views towards the nearby channel. The garden to the back of the house is a heavenly spot to enjoy a drink or two, with the lapping waves at the bottom of the garden to top it off. Despite the island being just 30 acres of land, it offers a friendly café, a stunning watch tower and the Roa Island Boating Club. A short ferry trip takes you to the wonderful Piel Island, dominated by its stunning castle. Further afield, you can visit the charming towns of Barrow-in-Furness and Ulverston, both provide a fine range of amenities and make for lovely days out. A fabulous cottage in a beautiful seafront location.

Roa Island is on the Lake District's coastline, the southernmost point of the Furness Peninsula, it has an area of 30 acres. A short ferry trip away is Piel Island, a fifty acre island with a castle. The island is kept in order by the "King" of Piel, the landlord of the Ship Inn. The village is close to Furness Abbey, and the market town of Ulverston is five miles away. The town hosts a bi-weekly market and festivals.

    Just a suggestion maybe a reading chair/nursing chair for the top bedroom, easier to feed and /or place to read.

    Loved every minute!

  • Beverley

    It would be even more enjoyable however, if the was a freezer and perhaps new pans and trays which are all very well used. A lot of thought has gone into decorating and furnishing the property, shame to be spoilt for fairly minor details, but they do make a difference to the experience .
