This lovely property is situated in the peaceful village of Torpenhow ('Tre-penna'), a traditional Cumbrian village with a community hall that hosts ale evenings, ceilidhs and music nights, along with a fabulous organic farm selling cheeses, ice cream and other produce. The quieter Northern Fells, including the mighty Skiddaw, are on your doorstep and when you’re in the heart of the Lake District, there is always fantastic scenery within striking distance. The Lakeland Distillery is 6 miles away, with a fabulous restaurant; this attraction offers a great day out with some beautiful scenery en route. The popular tourist town of Keswick is within 12 miles, and William Wordsworth’s birthplace, Cockermouth (8 miles) is a pretty little town with a great selection of independent shops, restaurants and supermarkets. Beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake (6 miles) has a shore path that runs the length of the west shore and there’s an open-air theatre at Mirehouse which is worth a visit.

The property is a lovely mid-terrace barn conversion offering a warm welcome with ample private parking immediately outside the property. Walk into the airy and spacious hallway which has a large lounge to the right with comfortable seating and a wood burner to curl up in front of after a busy day exploring. Across the hallway is the kitchen/diner which is well equipped with everything you need to prepare a hearty breakfast or an evening meal. The round dining table, which extends to seat six guests, can be found at one end of the kitchen. There is also access to the enclosed garden from the hallway. Head up the stairs off the hallway and on the first floor, you will find three bedrooms: a lovely double bedroom that has an en-suite shower room, a cosy single bedroom and a bright and spacious king-size bedroom that has a zip and link bed that can be made up as twin beds on request. All the bedrooms have skylights and two have rustic exposed beams. There is also a family bathroom along the landing.

There is a pretty enclosed garden with a patio, seating and a lawn which is a great place to enjoy a morning coffee, an evening meal alfresco or a good book.
