The property
1 Lake View is a classic end-terrace cottage located on the outskirts of Coniston, overlooking the lake. With The Ship Inn pub, a stone's throw away, private parking, a woodburning stove, and a Smart TV for entertainment, this cottage provides a perfect bolthole for families, couples, and friends wanting to explore the Lake District by foot, bike, or car.
Inside, you'll find a place to store your muddy boots and outdoor gear before settling into the kitchen/diner, which comes equipped with everything you'll need for a self-catering stay, including an electric oven and hob, a washing machine, and a dishwasher. Prepare a home-cooked meal for four people to be served at the farmhouse dining table, then retire to the sitting room. Two armchairs and a sofa are arranged in front of the woodburning stove, where you can watch the Smart TV or take in the views of the rolling hills, Grizedale, and Lake Coniston from the patio doors. Why not enjoy a glass of wine on your private patio while taking in the breath-taking views?
As night falls, make your way upstairs to find two bedrooms, one double with lake views and the other a twin, as well as a contemporary shower room with a spacious walk-in shower.
Climbing, walking, watersports, fishing, and cycling are all available year-round in Coniston, making it an excellent location for outdoor enthusiasts. Grizedale is a national forest with numerous hiking and cycling paths, and the Lakeland Trail and the Coniston 14 are two popular annual running races. The National Trust's Steam Yacht Gondola, a luxury yacht, is located on Coniston Water along with a variety of watersports, but if you prefer to stay on land, the mountains of The Old Man of Coniston, Scafell Pike, and Helvellyn are all within easy reach.
Coniston includes a convenience store, The Ruskin Museum to learn about local history, and walks through lovely scenery to places like Coniston Copper Mines right from your doorstep. More activities and amenities may be found farther away in Hawkshead, Ambleside with its Roman Fort, and Lake Windermere, where you can learn about Beatrix Potter's life, cruise the lake, and explore the National Trust's Wray Castle.
At 1 Lake View, there's something for everyone on your next Lake District adventure.
