This delightful cottage is located on a 400-acre working farm set in picturesque countryside, alongside two other holiday homes. It lies within the Lake District National Park, near the popular towns of Windermere and Bowness (both within 6 miles), in the quaint village of Ings. For hiking enthusiasts, travel 6 miles north to Kentmere. There, the trail to Kentmere Reservoir winds through one of the Lake District's most picturesque valleys, where you might even see birds of prey. If you're drawn to the lakes, Bowness offers enchanting ways to enjoy the water, such as ferries and cruisers. Waterhead, 6.5 miles away, provides motorboat rentals, as well as canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards for a more relaxed experience. After an active day, the charming village of Staveley, 2 miles away, has various dining options along with a butcher and a baker.

This charming and spacious one-bedroom cottage offers a perfect retreat in the countryside. As you enter, you are greeted by an inviting open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area. The bespoke kitchen is thoughtfully designed and well-equipped, featuring modern appliances and ample counter space for preparing delicious meals. Adjacent to the kitchen, the lounge creates a cosy atmosphere with its wood burner and Smart TV, making it an ideal spot for relaxing evenings. Upstairs, you'll find a beautifully appointed bedroom with a wonderful super-king-size bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The en-suite bathroom adds a touch of opulence with its free-standing bath and separate shower, providing a serene space to unwind and rejuvenate.

Outside, the cottage boasts a lovely lawn area with comfortable outdoor furniture, perfect for soaking in the stunning views of the surrounding fells. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee or an evening drink, this outdoor space offers a tranquil setting to appreciate the natural beauty of the countryside.
