The Latest News from The Coppermines and Lakes Cottages

A most unusual propety, laid out over three floors to take advantage of the beautiful views to Coniston Water.

Set just above Gateside at the southern edge of the village, it has been cleverly converted from a former Methodist chapel, built in 1859, with a lot of thought and quality detail.

It is very spacious, mainly wood or slate flooring with carpet in the bedrooms. It has gas central heating throughout, and has entrances on two levels, from the upper & lower lanes next to the property.
