One pet welcome

A quality cottage of much character set on a traditional Lakeland hill farm overlooking the beautiful Woodland Valley just 10 minutes drive from Coniston Village, which is one of the few remailing undiscovered treasures of the area and makes a great base for walkers and families alike.

The farmer is also the local butcher. Locally hand reared fresh meat can be ordered and delivered daily to your cottage.

The famous 16th Century Blacksmith's Arms is just 2 miles away over the hill, serving excellent food and drink. Attractively set around an original farm yard, 300 years ago, the farm also had a water powered corn mill fed by the 'Hole Beck' which still burbles past.

The cottages form part of the reconstructed 17th century miller's cottage and byre (animal house!) which are now very comfortable, have stained pine throughout, fitted carpets, exposed beams, and one has a log fire.

They have paved gardens to the rear, overlooking 'The Hole Beck', and their front to the farmyard forms an attractive sun trap in which to relax and enjoy the life of the farm. The farmer's sheep and cattle graze nearby and the farmyard is home to a family of hens, ducks, farm cats and sheep dog, Sam!

Secure indoor storage is provided suitable for mountain bikes, canoes and dinghies.

There footpaths from Holebeck Farm that give direct access onto the hills and across the valley offering great walks from the door!

Downstairs

Porch and hall,

separate shower room/w.c.

Sitting/Dining Room with Lakeland stone fireplace, colour t.v., dvd & cd players.
