4 Bed in Hawkshead (oc-lr116)

This picture-postcard country cottage in Hawkshead combines 16th-century character and charm with all your creature comforts – the perfect setting for a Lakeland getaway with family and friends. The village of Hawkshead is home to pretty cottages dotted along cobbled courtyards and alleyways, which lead to the main square where you'll find a great selection of pubs, cafes, interesting shops and galleries. There are plenty of lovely walks to enjoy from the doorstep; take a gentle stroll or cycle along to Esthwaite Water, 1.5 miles away. There are countless woodland, lakeside and mountain trails through Grizedale Forest just over 3 miles away. Keen walkers can enjoy the picturesque Tarn Hows (2 miles) or enjoy a hardier fell walk around the majestic and rugged Great Langdale (9 miles) to be rewarded with sublime views across the dramatic Langdale Valley.

From the front of this beautiful Lakeland farmhouse, enter the beamed and panelled dining room, boasting an antique table, the perfect setting for delicious dinners and hearty breakfasts with the whole party. A delightful snug offers a quiet place to catch up on a good book or plan tomorrow's adventure. The oak kitchen is wrapped in cool granite, equipped with everything you'll need to cook up a delicious family meal, the rear porch doubling as a boot room to store all your outdoor gear. Sitting just off the dining room, you'll find the homely lounge, with solid oak flooring, a large wood burner, a high, beamed ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows allowing plenty of light to flood in. A spacious shower room on this level also doubles as the utility room. Sitting above the lounge, up a handmade oak staircase, you'll find a blissful king-size bedroom with stunning skylight windows (please note that there is some limited headroom in the bedroom). On the main first floor of the farmhouse, you'll find three idyllic bedrooms, one en-suite king-size, one double and one twin bedroom with 2ft 6' beds, which all share rustic charm and antique character. You'll also find a contemporary shower room on this level.

Make the most of your beautiful countryside setting by enjoying a spot of al fresco dining in the enclosed cottage garden, which features a lawn and patio area, plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. Outside, you'll also find private parking for three cars.
