About this property
This welcoming bungalow makes a brilliant base for four guests and their four-legged friends, with easy access to the stunning valley and lakeside walks. Nearby, Penrith (3 miles) is a vibrant historic market town at the heart of Cumbria, known for its cobbled lanes, independent shops, boutique cafes and impressive 14th-century castle ruins (a must-visit for history buffs). For lakeside adventures, head 8 miles to Pooley Bridge, a charming village on the River Eamont at the head of Ullswater. It’s a scenic spot lined with elegant greystone houses and teashops, and the starting point for a popular boat trip: sail to Howtown, hike to Glenridding, and return by boat – one of Wordsworth’s favourite routes. You’ll also be well placed for day trips to Carlisle and Keswick (both 17.5 miles).
Upon arrival, step through the conservatory porch into the entrance hall, where the cosy lounge awaits to your right, complete with a Smart TV in one corner and an electric wood burner to keep you all warm. Thoughtful decor touches like contemporary cushions bring a modern feel to the space. The roomy kitchen/diner has a smart monochrome colour scheme and a central dining table – perfect for cooking and sharing meals together. Down the hallway, you’ll find a comfortable king-size bedroom and a cheerful twin room, both with cohesive colour schemes for a restful look and feel. You’ll also have a bathroom with a shower over the bath, and a separate WC.
Outside, a covered walkway leads to a handy outhouse for storing bikes. An enclosed garden with patio furniture invites al fresco dining with countryside views, and there's off-road parking for two cars.
