Superb Bassenthwaite Cottage

With stunning views and spacious rooms, this is a great choice for families or groups of friends to explore the Lake District National Park.
Looking for your next Lake District escape? This spacious, detached house in a peaceful village setting, with large rooms, great views and garden is an ideal choice. A plethora of British birds can be seen from the house, with many nesting in the garden. You can also regularly see deer, owls, bats and hares from the windows.
You will love the space in each of the rooms at S98092, with lots of natural light and free space to move around, which often comes at a premium with properties in the area. The majority of the rooms are all on the first floor which makes it a superb social house and great for spending time with family and friends. Sleeping up to eight guests, this house is ideal for larger families, two families or even multiple couples, with or without children. The entrance to the house is effectively on the first floor but there’s more to this house than meets the eye. It features a double bedroom and two twin bedrooms, each with their own family bath/shower room across the hallway. There is ample hanging space and storage and each have views of Skiddaw and the garden at the rear. The spacious open plan living/dining room is where guests will typically spend most of their time. With ample seating and dining space it makes a great communal area to enjoy breakfast and plan the days adventures, whilst at night, guests can snuggle up with a glass of wine and set the world to rights. Downstairs features a well-equipped utility room and a bedroom with twin beds and what is best described as a den, with a three-seater sofa, monitor, DVD player and plenty of movies to keep the little ones entertained. The children will feel like they have their own special place, leaving the adults to have a good catch-up upstairs.
The quiet village location offers an elevated position which enhances the views all around and with little to no light pollution, you can enjoy dark skies and starry nights in the evening. During the day, the garden is great for spending time in the open air and for soaking up the sunshine, complete with garden furniture, lawn and patio.
