South Lake District 

Scenic South Lakes & Cumbrian Coast Location Set in a peaceful rural location, this lovingly restored Cumbrian farmhouse offers a rustic retreat for small families or couples exploring the Southern Lake District and Cumbrian coastline. Just 2.5 miles away lies Silecroft Beach, a wild sand-and-shingle beach framed by Black Combe fell—ideal for long coastal walks with your dog or picking up the English Coast Path. Explore the rugged beauty of the Duddon Valley (8 miles) and surrounding fells, or head to historic Broughton-in-Furness (7.5 miles) to wander its 11th-century cobbled square, lined with Georgian homes, independent shops, and traditional pubs.

Characterful Interiors with Heritage Features Dating back centuries, the cottage pairs original heritage architecture—including Lakeland slate floors, exposed brickwork, and timber oak beams—with high-spec modern comfort:

  • Spacious Lounge & Dining Area: A character-filled living room featuring slate flooring, exposed timber beams, a large dining table, a TV, and a roaring wood-burning stove housed in a feature fireplace.

  • Country Kitchen & Entrance Porch: Enter through a covered porch into a country-style kitchen equipped with everything needed for self-catering stays.

  • Ground-Floor Wet Room: A high-spec, modern wet room complete with a walk-in shower and WC—ideal for washing off sand or fell mud after outdoor adventures.

  • Flexible Upper Sleeping Suite: Upstairs features two king-size beds separated by a sliding door—offering flexibility as a family bedroom or two semi-private sleeping spaces (note: access to the inner room is through the first).

  • Luxury Family Bathroom: A generous bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub with views across the fells.

  • Enclosed Garden & Whicham Valley Views Step outside into an enclosed garden and seating area commanding sweeping views across the Whicham Valley, Black Combe Fell, and the distant peaks of the Coniston Fells. Enjoy direct trail access right from your front door, leading straight out into the peaceful Cumbrian countryside.
