The property
Just south of Coniston you'll find both luxurious retreat and nature-lovers' paradise; perfect for family and friendly gatherings in this spectacular area of the Lake District. Almost a year was spent nurturing Bracken Ground as a contemporary 5 star property that would sit beautifully in its wild and wonderful surroundings.
Alongside a meandering stream, the house is surrounded by 7 acres of unspoilt natural grounds containing woodland glades, grassy openings, a large wildlife pond and even private outdoor hot tub and sauna facilities. Separate towels are provided for these facilities. There is also a BBQ and Pizza Oven for guests to use
Inside the house is contemporary yet soothing with calm colours, abundant light and space. The reception areas create a superb environment for dining and entertaining, while every Feather & Black bedroom and Fired Earth bathroom wears its designer style with pride.
