Nestled in the picturesque Duddon Valley of Cumbria, this charming farmhouse accommodates up to six guests, making it an ideal retreat for families or groups. The surrounding landscape invites exploration, with Seathwaite Tarn nearby for leisurely strolls or invigorating wild swimming. For avid hikers, the renowned Coniston mountain range, home to the iconic Old Man of Coniston peak, offers challenging trails. After a day of outdoor adventures, visitors can unwind at the welcoming local pub in Seathwaite village, which serves hearty meals, particularly after conquering the heights of Caw Fell or Harter Fell. A short five-mile drive leads to the quiet village of Ulpha, where a village shop and post office cater to everyday needs, and the scenic River Duddon provides a lovely picnic spot on sunny days.
The farmhouse itself is one of the oldest in the Duddon Valley, showcasing beautiful original features such as exposed beams and low doorways that add to its rustic charm. Guests enter through a flagstone hallway laid with slate from the nearby Walna Scar, setting the tone for a cozy stay. To the right, the inviting lounge beckons with stylish sofas, perfect for relaxing by the open fire. The first basket of logs is complimentary, with additional wood available for a nominal fee. Whether watching a film or enjoying a digital detox with card games, this space offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
For culinary enthusiasts, the traditional farmhouse kitchen is well-equipped with an electric oven, dishwasher, and a dining table for shared meals. A wood burner adds warmth, while an adjacent utility room contains essential appliances like a microwave and washing machine. The property also features a cold room that was once used as a dairy, adding to its unique character. Upstairs, guests will find three beautifully furnished bedrooms, including two king-size rooms and a twin room, all offering ample storage. The family bathroom is spacious, complete with a shower over the bath and WC, ensuring comfort for all guests.
Outside, the farmhouse boasts an open patio area with seating that allows visitors to soak in the stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. A lovely orchard graces the side of the property, while a small garden at the rear provides additional seating for relaxation. The nearby barn serves as secure storage for bikes and contains a tumble dryer and logs available on an honesty payment basis. The cottage accommodates private parking for two cars, accessible via a farm track suitable for most vehicles, though those with very low suspensions may need to park at a neighboring farm. Overall, this farmhouse offers a perfect blend of comfort, charm, and accessibility to the natural beauty of the Lake District.
