Broom Riggs, 10 Broomriggs

About this property

Originally a part of a rather grand gentleman's residence set in a quintessential, 37 acre, English country estate, 10 Broomriggs is a fantastic first floor apartment with access to beautifully curated gardens, magnificent views over Esthwaite Water and the convenience of being close to some of the Lake District’s most popular attractions.

Here a private entrance will lead you to the large and splendid lounge and dining room, there’s two king size bedrooms, both with en suite facilities and the option of being presented as twin bedrooms (please specify your preference when booking). Outside and in addition to the massive grounds, you’ll enjoy shared use of two rowing boats, a badminton court, putting green, table tennis and childrens swings. Hawkshead is close by and a stroll along its cobbled streets, with restaurants, pubs, like The Tower Bank Arms, once owned by Beatrix Potter and shops, will leave you in no doubt that you have found a really special retreat.

The village of Sawrey is situated two miles from Hawkshead down the eastern side of Esthwaite Water, overlooked by the woods and tarns of Claife Heights. Sawrey consists of two separate hamlets - Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey - both with a cluster of picturesque cottages, tea rooms and pubs. Near Sawrey is famous for Hill Top, the 17th century farmhouse where Beatrix Potter wrote her acclaimed children's stories. Now a museum, owned and run by the National Trust, Hill Top is one of the most visited houses in the Lake District. Far Sawrey is the hamlet furthest away from Hawkshead and the nearest to the ferry point on Windermere. It offers a church and pub/restaurant with a beer garden. There are good walks in the area, including those to Claife Heights and in Grizedale Forest. It's also a great base for enjoying a wide variety of typical Lakeland pursuits - with watersports close at hand on Lake Windermere, fishing on nearby Esthwaite Water and, of course, fell walking.
