Ground floor
Entrance into bright and airy hallway. The open plan living area is striking in design and is full of charm, character and the latest mod cons. The sitting room is tastefully adorned with quirky personal pieces and artwork that reflect the owners' lives of travel, adventure and interest in the decorative arts. A wood burning stove, an abundance of cosy seating and soft lighting make this a wonderful place to relax and unwind. There's also a large curved smart TV, Blu Ray/DVD player & a selection of games and books to keep all members of your party entertained.
The dining area and kitchen occupies the rear of the house, again complete with personal touches and the latest mod cons that contrast with the beautiful original cooking range which is still in place. Well-appointed the kitchen benefits from a gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, microwave oven, fridge-freezer & filtered water on tap.
The piece de resistance is the glass fronted Juliet balcony accessed through large double French doors in the dining area; bringing the outside in and offering wonderful views across to Coniston Water and the Grizedale hills beyond.
There's also a small cloakroom with W.C just off the hall.
