Overview
This wonderful single-storey converted barn is the ideal holiday home for two to enjoy the stunning Lake District. Set in the peaceful Eden Valley there are plenty of walks to go on including around Lacy's Caves (4.5 miles) and Nunnery Walks (8 miles). Make sure you visit Long Meg and Her Daughters (2.5 miles) a Bronze Age stone circle as well as Aira Force waterfall (16.5 miles) which are two of the most breathtaking wonders in the area. Take tranquil walks along the River Eden; the best ones can be found between Lazonby (5 miles) and Salkeld (3 miles) and there are plenty of pubs and cafes to visit along the way. Step into the property and into the beautiful lounge where comfortable seating around the wood burner in a stunning fireplace takes centre stage. Watch TV play board games or read a book after a long day out exploring or gaze out of the double doors to the garden on sunny afternoons. Off the lounge a kitchen/diner has a contemporary country style and has everything you need to cook up a storm including a dining table that's perfect for two. The inner hallway leading off from the kitchen takes you to a wonderful bathroom that has neutral contemporary tiles and a shower over the bath. The final room in the house is the cosy double bedroom decorated in calming neutral colours; there's plenty of space for you to hang and store your clothes in the large wardrobe. Outside an enclosed patio garden is perfect for birdwatching or enjoying an al fresco drink in the evenings as you wind down. There's storage for bikes and outdoor gear in the garage. Need to know: 1 double bedroom. 1 bathroom with shower over the bath. Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine. Wood burner logs provided. TV, DVD.
