Stunning, stone cottage situated in an exclusive courtyard of cottages with private outdoor lawn and terrace with views to the grounds and ancient woodland. A rather special cottage set over three floors which makes use of the elevated land. On entering the front door, step through the hallway into the large open plan living area with stylish quality bespoke kitchen with granite surfaces, American fridge and wine chiller. Sit at the breakfast bar with its central column and themed stools or at the dining table. Enjoy the views from the large window to the courtyard or from the window seat. Relax in leather settees in front of a warming woodburner and oak floor. Downstairs are two en-suite bedrooms, one with a patio door to the courtyard where you can step out and enjoy the long range views to the Lakeland fells as these are both at ground level at this side of the cottage. The ground floor has underfloor heating. Upstairs from the sitting room there are two further bedrooms, both en-suite. Both these have quirky walls and windows, sloping ceilings, remote blinds to the Velux windows and wonderful wooden beams within the walls that have been meticulously maintained and restored. Outside, enjoy your private terraced garden with furniture, lawn and views from the hot tub all surrounded by natural stone walls for maximum privacy. It will be hard to tear yourself away at the end of your holiday from this outstanding cottage with its many unique features. This is an incomparable and inspired choice for your vacation at any time of the year. Note: This cottage can be booked with Refs: 923738, 923820, 938718, 938719 and 938720, together they sleep 40.
