Old Cottage is a characterful old-and-new cottage in the quiet hamlet of Oxen Park, Cumbria, enjoying views of Morecambe Bay and The Old Man of Coniston.
Over 200 years old, yet seamlessly blending contemporary living with original features such as exposed beams and wooden doors and furnishings, this pet-friendly home invites a couple or small family to escape to the stunning Lake District National Park.
On arrival, a track leads to the door where you can unload with ease, before finding a spot at the roadside to park up.
Stepping inside the cottage, the kitchen rests in the newer side of the cottage, with views over to Morecambe Bay on a clear day, and is home to all the appliances you could need for a self-catering break, as well as a handy washer/dryer, should you find your walking gear needs a refresh.
From here, steps lead into the old side of the cottage and into the ample dining room, where you can enjoy home-cooked meals or plan your days out at the table.
Moving through the home, the sitting room boasts a cast-iron woodburning stove, the perfect addition to the space for you to cosy up in front of with a film on the Smart TV.
Finishing off the ground floor is a shower room and a cloakroom, providing plenty of space to freshen up.
Climbing the stairs, you’ll find a welcoming double bedroom to rest in, along with a handy sofa-bed/dressing room.
In the warmer months, you can enjoy alfresco meals, with the quaint garden set up perfectly for savouring the views of the surrounding hills.
From the doorstep, you can find the upmarket restaurant, Manor House, the ideal spot for a celebratory meal with your loved one, or you can take the footpath from the garden to Bouth and its traditional-style pub, The White Hart.
For watersports, you’ll be just a short drive away from the peaceful Coniston Water, making for an idyllic walk or kayak.
Slightly further away is the bustling Windermere, where you’ll find a variety of shops and eateries, as well as equipment hire and the Windermere Steamers, if you prefer to stay dry whilst on the water!
Foodies may want to visit the twin town of Bowness-on-Windermere, for an extra choice of restaurants.
If hiking is more your thing, there are plenty of fells to explore in the area, or you can wander through the flora and fauna of Grisdale Forest.
A truly charming retreat in the incomparable Lake District National Park, choose Old Cottage for your next holiday.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
