Welcome to our Holiday Cottage in the Lake District
Lingmell is a well-appointed double-glazed house accommodating 6 comfortably (and more with occasional beds) and is converted from part of the outbuildings of a country house set in a wooded estate of 6 acres (Lake Bank). Effectively, it is two connected self-contained flats, one upstairs and one downstairs with easy access. There is a strictly no smoking policy in the house.
It has been completely refurbished to a high standard in 2013 by a reputable local builder and now comprises 3 bedrooms – 2 double bedrooms (one of which has an en-suite bathroom) and one bunk bedroom. The roof, interior walls, plumbing, electrics and decorating are all brand new, as are the main kitchen, family bathroom and en-suite bathroom. The heating is by modern Rointe Digital Electric Radiators. The house also benefits from a new patio and balcony which have also just been installed at the front of the house which faces south onto the large garden. Wi-fi has also been installed.
Upstairs contains the main accommodation, with an open plan lounge/ dining room/ kitchen, the main bedroom, a bunk bedroom and main bathroom. The lounge has an open fireplace with new oak flooring, mantelpiece and window seat, television, dvd and hi-fi. It has a dining area with French windows which open out onto the large balcony. The kitchen is well-equipped with a double oven, hob, microwave and fridge. The bathroom has a shower/bath, wc and wash basin. The main bedroom has a double bed and a full size single bed. The bunk bedroom has two full size bunks and an occasional bed/fold-out chair.
Downstairs, there is a double bedroom (with an en-suite bathroom including wc, wash basin and large shower), a living room with easy chairs, table and a second television and VCR) and a second kitchen (with a fridge/freezer, washing machine/tumble dryer, cooker and microwave).
The Rointe radiators are in all the rooms, and can be individually set to any temperature. There is a large immersion heater for hot water.
There is parking space for 3 cars in front of the garage.
Location
This is in a very quiet corner of the Lake District, just off the A5084 Lowick to Torver road, by the bottom end of Coniston Water just north of Water Yeat. It is half an hour from the M6 junction 36.
Public boating and fishing is possible all around the lake. The Old Man of Coniston can be seen from the house. A walk through the grounds brings you onto the Blawith fells where there are good walks and excellent views of Coniston Water, the mountains and Morecambe Bay.
Boating
There are 3 kayaks and a Canadian canoe, with equipment, in the integral garage, which are available for use by arrangement and at the user’s own risk. The owner belongs to Lake Bank Boat Club and access is allowed to a private pier which is on the lake just across the road from the house.
Pets
Pets are welcome, provided that they keep off the furniture and stairs.
Towels and bed linen
All towels, tea towels, serviettes, pillow cases and duvet covers, sleeping bags or sheets need to be brought, but duvets, blankets and pillows are provided.
