About this property

High Cunsey Farm is a super deluxe, five-bedroom property set in an idyllic location in nine acres of pristine land, with access to launch a small boat from the shore of beautiful Lake Windermere. It is still a well-loved family home, oozing with beautiful furnishings and fabrics. An inspired interior designer has ingeniously applied modern design to this traditional property, resulting in quality and sophistication rarely seen in a holiday home. A retreat to make wonderful memories with those that matter the most. Sleeps ten people.

It lies one and a half miles from the pretty hamlet of Far Sawrey, where you will find the well-loved and characterful, Cuckoo Brow Inn. Hawkshead is four miles away and it is approximately two miles to a ferry landing, where you can cross the Lake to Bowness. quality

Discover your enticing cinema room with large Smart TV. and Sonos sound system. Walk across the hallway into the lounge with kitchen and dining area and be enchanted by this elegant and serene space. Admire the bespoke kitchen with electric Aga, separate larder and drinks fridge and the refined dining table, large enough to seat ten. A majestic, open fireplace and sumptuous seating further embellish this graceful room. This dual aspect room has views over the garden and to the lake.

There are three staircases in the house. The first leads upwards from the cinema room to two luxurious bedrooms. A double bedroom with lake views and luxury en-suite shower room with large shower and a twin bedroom with luxury en-suite bathroom with freestanding double ended bath. Both have underfloor heating and heated towel rails.

The second staircase leads up from the kitchen to a sophisticated reception room with exquisite carpeting and upholstery, attractive cruck beams, large smart TV, warming log burner and natural light pouring through the window. Sit on the pretty window seat and look out on a timeless scene.

The third staircase leads to three more deluxe bedrooms: the master super king size bedroom with cruck beams, beautiful lake views and en-suite with shower. A second, double size bedroom with views to the side and rear, and a twin bedroom with garden views. You will also find a separate and magnificent family bathroom nearby. Both bathrooms have underfloor heating and heated towel rails. Step onto the patio to admire the delightful garden furniture before exploring your extensive gardens. Walk down to the lake, breathe in the wonderful Lakeland air and start to imagine wonderful holiday adventures.

You will have a choice of many wonderful trails from your doorstep, whether it’s a low-level circular route, a lakeshore stroll or an adventurous hike up to the high fells. If you fancy an evening meal out, make your way to the much-loved Cuckoo Brow Inn, which is one and a half miles away in Far Sawrey.

The village of Far Sawrey has a pub/restaurant, whilst Bowness, with all its shops, restaurants and leisure facilities, is just a short distance across the lake by ferry.

    Extremely well equipped kitchen. Great open plan layout. Generally house was a bit on the cold side and heating wasn’t to be adjusted. My room especially the en-suite was very chilly. A real issue was with the kitchen smoke alarm which was extremely sensitive and right next to the aga. It was continually going off even when not cooking. It set all other smoke alarms off and was very annoying. This marred our stay somewhat. I hope it can be moved as we would book again.

  • Tina

    Plenty of space to spread out and comfortable.. Our only negatives were the availability of serving dishes, lots of pans but only 1 small oval dish. The Aga looks great but takes some getting used to when you haven’t used one before. My mark down on cleanliness was only that there is a lot of stuff in the house and we felt there were areas that are clearly not being touched often. Also clearly a problem with wasps in the family bathroom, which is no one’s fault but the light fittings were full of dead wasps. None of this would put us off recommending or staying again.

  • Andy

    Spacious and had a touch of luxury. Sitting outside with the views was great and there are walks from the cottage without needing to drive anywhere. Recommend this cottage as great location and very quiet to enjoy the surrounding scenery. We had a Tesco delivery which was very easy to book and provided all food and drink for the week.
