Accommodating up to 12 guests, the property boasts six beautifully appointed bedrooms, five of which feature en-suite bathrooms, all providing stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The house is equipped with modern amenities including an Aga cooker, woodburning stove, and WiFi, ensuring a comfortable stay for families, including those with babies and children, while maintaining a no-pets policy for a clean and allergy-friendly environment.
The interior of the house is designed for both comfort and functionality, featuring oil central heating with underfloor heating in the kitchen and en-suites, along with a cozy open fire for colder evenings.

Situated just two miles from Hawkshead, the village of Sawrey consists of two charming hamlets—Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey—each adorned with quaint cottages, tea rooms, and pubs. Near Sawrey is particularly notable for Hill Top, the former home of beloved children's author Beatrix Potter, now a museum managed by the National Trust and one of the Lake District's most visited attractions. In contrast, Far Sawrey, the furthest hamlet from Hawkshead, features a church and a pub with a beer garden, making it a perfect spot for relaxation after a day of exploration.
The area surrounding Sawrey is rich with outdoor activities and natural beauty, making it an excellent base for enjoying classic Lakeland pursuits. Visitors can partake in watersports on Lake Windermere, fishing at nearby Esthwaite Water, and fell walking in the picturesque landscapes of Claife Heights and Grizedale Forest. Local landmarks such as Hill Top and Blackwell, The Arts & Crafts House enhance the cultural experience, while attractions like Windermere Ferry and Windermere Golf Club provide additional recreational options. With its blend of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty, this vacation home is an ideal destination for families and groups seeking a memorable getaway in the Lake District.
