Two large double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and an open plan living area and kitchen on the top floor.

    Accommodation is over three floors with what is effectively a self contained flat at ground level offering a large bed/sitting area with adjoining bathroom and kitchen. Two large double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and an open plan living area and kitchen on the top floor. Easily accommodated us with my wife and I using the ground floor and our son and his family the middle then coming together upstairs to eat and relax. Beautiful views to the front and rear of the property and a perfect base for getting out and exploring this striking area of natural beauty. It's also a great place to come back to after taking on the Cumbrian hills in our walking shoes, warm and cozy with plenty of chill space and a well equipped kitchen (or two) to replenish the body in readiness to do it all again tomorrow.
