Close to the banks of the River Brathay in the Langdale Valley, this traditional Lakeland cottage, with a rather more contemporary interior, has an enchanting outlook towards the ancient river bridge.
River Bank presents a perfect 'getaway' opportunity at any time of year; cosy up by the woodburning stove in winter or dine al-fresco in the private garden in summer.
The interior is just modern enough to feel special, without losing the character of the property.
Your local community is Skelwith Bridge - a brilliantly located village at the entrance to the Langdale Valley.
You'll have easy access to the honeypot villages of Ambleside, Grasmere, Coniston and Hawkshead.
A much-envied bolt-hole!
