A modern, stone and timber detached cottage situated on the southern shore of Coniston Water, 6 miles from the village of Coniston. This delightful property, with open plan living area, shares a private 4 acre estate with one other cottage on the shores of Coniston Water and provides a rare opportunity to combine peaceful seclusion with a wonderful lakeside holiday. A full-length verandah provides spectacular easterly views over the lake and to the hills beyond. The property boasts an open plan living area with woodburning stove and guests are offered complimentary (but responsible) use of the owner's boats and canoes or use of a private launching facility for guests' dinghies. With boating, sailing, fishing, swimming, walking, climbing, pony-trekking or mountain biking available in the area that inspired Arthur Ransome's 'Swallows and Amazons', this is a quality property in one of Britain's most-loved holiday locations.
