    “Beautiful cottage which has been decorated to a high standard throughout.”

    It sits in an ideal location, slightly away from the main busy tourist areas but with a car, many of the visitor sites in the Lakes can be reached with ease. There is parking off road for two medium size cars. The enclosed garden in this case is enclosed (I have been to a few which say they are but are not and with a very energetic dog who can jump certain heights with ease, this can be a worry). There is a Booths food store nearby and fabulous butchers as well as many places to eat out.

Appearing as a traditional country cottage from the exterior, enter to discover a stylish abode renovated to a superb standard, making this the ultimate setting for an unforgettable group getaway to the Lake District. As you enter into the property, be welcomed by a cloakroom and handy utility room featuring both a washing machine and a purpose-built seating area, where you can pull off your mucky boots and place them nicely under the bench before leaving your coat to hang. Step into the contemporary kitchen and admire the chic dove grey units and worktops, as well as the eye-catching island where you can take a seat and indulge in a perfectly chilled bottle of bubbly from the fabulous wine fridge. Two small steps take you down to a spacious area with two large patio doors leading out to the enclosed garden boasting a lawn and patio with a sociable outdoor dining space, perfect for indulging in a delicious meal on warm summer evenings. Discover in the dining room beautiful exposed beams and a striking inglenook fireplace, with a contrasting black woodburning stove that sits happily within it, take your seat at the black dining table and delight in a hearty home-cooked meal, before retiring to the sitting room, decorated with two plush grey sofas and a large flat screen Smart TV. From the dining room, climb the staircase to the first floor and indulge in a soak in the bathtub within the tranquil family bathroom, before grabbing your towel from the heated towel rail and retreating to your bedroom. Discover a bright and airy twin bedroom which is zip/link and can be king-size on request, styled with grey hues and mustard accents, and a homely king-size double with oak fitted wardrobes and charming exposed beams. A further two steps will take you up to the master bedroom, a spacious and sophisticated setting complete with an attractive white super king-size bed and an en-suite shower room. These are all kitted out with Egyptian cotton bedding with white fluffy towels available. Enjoy a relaxing stroll along the glistening River Kent towards the imposing grounds of Levens Hall and explore the magnificent Elizabethan home and gardens featuring beautiful orchids and topiary, before a tour of the National Trust owned 14th-century fortress, Sizergh Castle.

About the location

MILNTHORPE

Arnside 3 miles; Silverdale 6 miles; Kendal 7 miles.

Milnthorpe, once an important medieval market town, is located in the South Lakes between Kendal and Carnforth, just a few miles from the seaside village of Arnside. Reminders of the town's history can still be found today amongst the narrow lanes and historic buildings, which speak of a time when a coach and four was more common than a four-wheel drive. Set in lovely rolling countryside, the area has much to offer, with the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis offering a tropical hall and butterfly house. Dallam Tower and Levens Hall (historic and beautiful stately homes with their deer parks, topiary and ornamental gardens) provide a great day out for visitors. Leighton Hall, Sizergh Castle, the Great Lakes Aquarium, Windermere and Grizedale Forest are also all within easy reach and well worth a visit. From stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks to beaches and scenic coastal paths, there really is something for everyone.

This property STRICTLY accepts only 1 dog (small/medium size)
