The property

Beautifully positioned in a rugged and scenic landscape just south of Coniston, Bracken Ground offers a high-end escape for gatherings of family and friends in the Lake District.

Nestled beside a winding stream and surrounded by 7 acres of natural grounds, this exceptional property includes a private outdoor hot tub and wood-built barrel sauna, making it an ideal base for exploring the region. A spacious private driveway leads to the house, where you’ll enter through a generous porch into an expansive open-plan sitting and dining area.

Double French doors open out to the garden, and a woodburning stove adds warmth during the cooler months.

The property features five elegant bedrooms, including a master suite with an en-suite shower room, bay window, and its own sitting area, offering plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Outdoors, guests can roam freely across the grounds, with the chance to spot local wildlife such as deer, badgers, and foxes.

The sauna and hot tub provide a unique way to spend time in the fresh air, surrounded by nature. Nearby villages like Torver and Coniston offer traditional pubs and access to a variety of walking trails.

Just 7 miles away, the market town of Ulverston invites exploration with its cobbled streets, independent shops, and excellent dining options.

It’s also the birthplace of Stan Laurel and home to the world’s only Laurel and Hardy museum. Bracken Ground is ideally placed for discovering quieter corners of the Lake District, offering a memorable setting for a getaway at any time of year.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
