Located in the Westmoreland Dales within easy reach of the North Pennines and the Lake District, this four-bedroom farmhouse sleeps eight guests and welcomes one canine companion. After days roaming dales and exploring quaint market towns, this is an idyllic place for socialising and relaxing with your loved ones.
This sprawling, two-storey farmhouse occupies a rural setting with far-reaching country views. Bursting with charm and character, it features beamed ceilings, flagstone floors and recessed windows, with country-style furnishings and a soothing, neutral colour scheme. The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen/diner set on flagstone flooring with cosy underfloor heating. You’ll find everything you need to feed a crowd, with a double range oven, a breakfast bar and a long farmhouse table seating eight. Set beneath a beamed ceiling with a warming wood burner and a Smart TV, the dual-aspect lounge invites relaxation after a day of adventuring, while a snug offers space to spread out. When night falls, head upstairs to find four relaxing bedrooms situated beneath vaulted ceilings with tranquil country views. Take your pick from a king-size with an en suite shower room, and a double and two twins which share use of a first-floor bathroom and a ground-floor shower room. Outside, an enclosed grassy garden with a picnic table invites al-fresco feasts and offers space for kids and dogs to play. Private parking is available for three cars.
