About this property
Situated upon the outskirts of Grange-over-Sands, a bustling town in Cumbria, is 42 Tricketts Drive, a delightful three-bedroom property. Just a stone's throw away from a host of local amenities and the shoreline, and a car journey away from the Lake District National Park, the home is well-suited for a family getaway, providing five guests with flexible sleeping arrangements, a pet-friendly garden, and a well-equipped kitchen. Park up on the private driveway before entering the welcoming sitting room, complete with a plush corner sofa, Smart TV, and patio doors out to the enclosed area, featuring a barbecue and furniture, ideal for alfresco dining. If you'd prefer to dine indoors, discover the kitchen/diner, complete with a range of culinary appliances to ease your self-catered stay and a table for five. When sleep calls, select between a super-king-size with en-suite, a double, and a single, all well-presented and serviced by the main bathroom. Come morning, plan your itinerary, starting off with a tour of the town, where you can discover the Ornamental Gardens, play a round of golf at the Grange Over Sands Golf Club, tour the pretty grounds of Holker Hall & Gardens, lounge upon Grange-Over-Sands Beach, or hike towards Humphrey Head for the best vantage point. Nearby you'll arrive at Cartmel, home to the magnificent Cartmel Priory, or perhaps book your getaway to attend one of many race days at Cartmel Racecourse, before heading to Kendal, ready to explore Sizergh and Kendal Museum, both rich in history. Finish off your getaway by visiting Windermere and its stunning lake, enveloped by attractions, including the Predator Wolf Experience, National Trust - Fell Foot viewpoint, the Lakes Aquarium, and the popular The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, offering something for all the family. Enjoy your next getaway at 42 Tricketts Drive.
With one of the mildest climates in the north of England, the beautiful Edwardian town of Grange-over-Sands is situated between the Lake District fells and Morecambe Bay. When the Furness Railway was built, Grange-over-Sands, a sleepy fishing community, was converted into a chic Edwardian resort. A traffic-free promenade, lovely ornamental gardens, golf courses, brass band performances, and fantastic bird watching are just a few of the many attractions the town has to offer visitors today. Lake Windermere (8 miles), the charming communities of Bowness-on-Windermere and Hawkshead, and Cartmel, the birthplace of sticky toffee pudding, are all easily accessible by car. Cartmel also boasts a renowned racecourse and the L'Enclume restaurant, which has been ranked as the fourth best restaurant in the UK. Other points of interest nearby include Sizergh Castle, a National Trust mediaeval house and grounds, Levens Hall, an Elizabethan Hall with its internationally renowned topiary gardens, Holker Hall, Furness Abbey, and Conishead Priory, a Gothic revival country house.

Justine
The house is perfect for us, carpet in the living room and dining room ( my dog hates wooden floors )and downstairs toilet. Always clean and welcoming. Fabulous location, easy dog walks from the house and easy to go anywhere by car. The owner is lovely and my dog went right back to her for a cuddle! See you next year! Justine.

It is ideal for dog owners with its fully enclosed garden and a nearby path to a recreation area and the front. There are many dog friendly cafes/pubs in Grange plus a great pet shop. We had some gorgeous weather towards the end of our stay and we really enjoyed sitting in the sunny garden on very comfortable patio chairs.
