This property is ideally situated for those who want to make the most of all that the Lake District has to offer, both in terms of its stunning landscape and its cultural heritage. The village of Hawkshead, the centre of which is just a two-minute walk from the property, is known for its connections to both Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth, both of whom have National Trust properties in the village dedicated to them. Both Lake Windermere and Coniston Water are within a twenty-minute drive of the property, both offering visitors opportunities to take to the water. There are plentiful scenic walks in the area, as well as more challenging hikes and climbs.

Two steps lead up to the front door of this property, which opens onto a hallway, off from which a door opens onto the lounge. This is a tastefully decorated room, with a bay window overlooking the neighbouring field, a cosy wood burner, Smart TV and DVD. To the rear of the property, the spacious dining room is a relaxing space in which to linger over family meals, with a dining table seating six, another wood burner, and shelving unit which is well-stocked with games and books. French windows open onto the patio garden, allowing guests to open up this space during the warmer months. The kitchen, which enjoys views over the local countryside, is well-equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher, whilst a door leads on to the utility room where guests will find the washing machine, and /freezer, as well as a convenient WC. The utility room, like the dining room, gives access to the rear garden. Upstairs, there are three restful bedrooms: a double, a twin, and a single room, all of which are tastefully decorated with pine furniture and light, simple colour schemes. The bright and contemporary bathroom is also on the first floor and offers a bath, separate shower cubicle, and WC.

Outside, there is a patio garden with seating to the rear of the property, and a driveway for two cars just to the side of the cottage. Guests are able to use the garage for storing bikes, etc.

House is in a good location, and close to Hawkshead shops. But overall we were disappointed with the issues we found in the house! Expensive (in our opinion) and we had lots of minor issues. Heating didn't work, no condiments left, garden steps dangerous when wet, and NO outside light. Back garden isn't great for dogs, too small and multiple levelsRead more. No privacy glass in bathroom, blinds had to be kept shut. Owners could do better. Hide

Very cold property, take wood with you. Garage door wouldn't open, and the bad door key is worn so this makes it difficult to open. The property is clean , kitchen very good but no curtains or nets, so very open in the evening. Garden needs work.

Meadow Bank house is in a perfect location, very peaceful and yet just a few minutes walk right into the centre of the pretty village of Hawkshead. A bonus to have private driveway for parking.
