Tanwood Barn, Hawkshead

An absolutely enchanting traditional Lakeland barn in the sleepy hamlet of Satterthwaite, between Hawkshead and Lake Windermere, blissfully secluded yet only a stone's throw from the village pub. A true character property, Tanwood Barn is captivating throughout; 4 beautiful bedrooms and 3 reception rooms. Enormous windows bring the 'outside in', with views cascading over open countryside as far as the eye can see. Tanwood Barn is built into the slope of a hill, with a topsy turvy layout. The first floor living spaces take full advantage of the views, and the dining hall opens out to the patio and garden from this level. Perfect for atmospheric evening meals or lazy lunches on sunny days. After dinner, relax in the comfort of the cosy beamed lounge and send the kids (or big kids!) downstairs to play table tennis and darts in the games room.

Location
This Satterthwaite holiday home enjoys a peaceful, picturesque location between the lakes of Coniston and Windermere, just south of Hawkshead village. The sleepy hamlet is surrounded by a natural playground of stunning landscapes to explore; a great base for walking and outdoor adventure as well as for escaping the everyday rush.

To the north, Grizedale Forest is an intriguing network of walking routes, cycle paths and sculpture trails. Lake Windermere lies to the east, and a car-ferry crossing can take you across the lake to explore the lively attractions of Bowness village.
Also close by is the village of Near Sawrey, where Beatrix Potter famously lived and was inspired to write her children's stories. Visit the author's home at Hill Top and explore her favourite places; such as Esthwaite Water and Moss Eccles Tarn.

Hawkshead village itself is easily reached to your north; a charming historic village of whitewashed Lakeland cottages, car-free cobbled streets and interesting local shops. You can stock up the kitchen there, or drive just a few miles to Ambleside village.
