Hawkshead Village, Cumbria

Residing in the picturesque Hawkshead Village in Cumbria, this charming property offers a serene retreat overlooking the Esthwaite Valley. Just a half-mile footpath leads guests directly to the village, where they can explore delightful local pubs, a selection of shops including a well-stocked deli, and several National Trust properties. Notably, visitors can discover the Beatrix Potter Gallery, housed in the former workplace of William Heelis, Beatrix Potter's husband. The property’s prime location makes it an excellent base for exploring the breathtaking landscapes of the Lake District, with both Lake Windermere and Coniston Water within a five-mile drive.

Upon entering the detached property, guests are greeted by a tiled hallway that leads to a spacious lounge/diner. This inviting area features a large dining table, comfortable sofas, a multi-fuel stove, a TV/DVD, and a telephone, creating a warm atmosphere for relaxation and family gatherings. Directly across the hallway, a thoughtfully equipped playroom awaits, filled with toys, games, children's books, and an additional TV/DVD, ensuring entertainment for younger guests. The well-appointed kitchen at the rear of the property includes modern appliances such as an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer, along with a convenient ground floor WC for added comfort.

Ascending a short flight of stairs, guests will find the main bathroom, which boasts a spa bath, a separate shower cubicle, and a WC. The upper level features four inviting bedrooms, including two king-size rooms—one with an en suite shower and WC—as well as a twin room and a pleasant single room. This setup makes the property ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a spacious and comfortable stay amidst stunning natural surroundings.

Outside, the property showcases a beautiful garden with expansive sloping lawns that lead down to a picturesque stream featuring a small waterfall, perfect for a refreshing paddle during warmer months. However, it is essential for guests to supervise children near the water.
