About this property
Settled on the outskirts of Coniston overlooking the lake is this traditional, end-terrace cottage, 1 Lake View. This cottage makes a lovely bolthole for families, couples, and friends looking to explore the Lake District by foot, bike or car, with The Ship Inn pub a stone's throw away, private parking, a woodburning stove, and a Smart TV for entertainment. Inside, you'll find space to leave muddy boots and outdoor gear, before making yourself at home in the kitchen/diner; it has everything you need for a self-catering stay including an electric oven and hob, washing machine, and dishwasher. Prepare a home-cooked dinner to be served at the farmhouse dining table for four, then make your way to the sitting room. Two armchairs and a sofa are set in front of the woodburning stove where you can watch the Smart TV or admire the views from the patio doors of the rolling hills, Grizedale and Lake Coniston. Why not take a glass of wine out to your private patio to make the most of the incredible views? As night falls, head upstairs to find two bedrooms, a double with lake views and a twin, along with a contemporary shower room with a spacious walk-in shower. Coniston is a great base for outdoor enthusiasts with climbing, walking, watersports, fishing and cycling to be enjoyed all year-round. Grizedale is a national forest with a variety of hiking or cycling trails, whilst the Lakeland Trail and the Coniston 14 are two popular annual events for runners. Coniston Water hosts a variety of waterspots and boating activities including the National Trust's Steam Yacht Gondola, a luxury yacht, but if you prefer staying on land, the mountains of The Old Man of Coniston, Scafell Pike, and Helvellyn are all within easy reach. The village of Coniston has a convenience store, The Ruskin Museum to discover local heritage, and walks from your doorstep through idyllic countryside to the likes of Coniston Copper Mines. For more attractions and amenities, head further afield to Hawkshead, Ambleside with its Roman Fort, and the bustling Lake Windermere where you can discover the history of Beatrix Potter, cruise along the lake, and wander the National Trust's Wray Castle. There's something for everyone on your next Lake District adventure at 1 Lake View.
The pretty village of Coniston is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the Lake District National Park. Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere, and Grasmere are just a short drive away. Coniston Old Man, Wetherlam, and Grizedale Forest offer great walking, biking, and climbing. The quiet lake is ideal for dinghy sailing and canoeing, while the less active can enjoy a cruise on the steam yacht 'Gondola' or visit Brantwood, John Ruskin's former home. Hawkshead, home to the Beatrix Potter Gallery, Tarn Hows, a popular beauty spot, and Esthwaite Water are nearby. A top destination year-round.
