The details
Nestled amidst sweeping green hills and meadows that stretch for miles, this idyllic country hideaway offers a dreamy escape for families and friends seeking peace, space and connection. Wake each morning to birdsong and soft light spilling across the valley, before stepping outside to breathe in the crisp Cumbrian air. This is the kind of place where time slows down — where you can gather, rest and savour life’s simple pleasures.
Inside, the house has been beautifully designed to blend rustic charm with modern comfort. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen-diner — a wonderfully social space centred around a farmhouse table handmade from reclaimed scaffold boards. Here, you can cook hearty breakfasts on the range cooker, chat over coffee as sunlight pours through the French doors, and later throw them open for long alfresco lunches on the sun-soaked patio.
After a day exploring the hills or wandering through nearby woodlands, sink into the large sofa in the main sitting room as the wood burner crackles beside you. There’s even an upright piano waiting to be played — the perfect touch for cosy evenings together. For quieter moments, retreat to the snug with its comfy sofa and TV, ideal for a lazy afternoon film or a sneaky nap.
Upstairs, three lovely double bedrooms promise restful nights under soft duvets, with the master boasting an ensuite shower room and space for a cot if you’re travelling with little ones. The other two bedrooms share a generous family bathroom with both a separate bath and shower, making it perfect for families.
Step outside and you’ll find a spacious patio nestled into the hillside — a sheltered suntrap that warms beautifully in summer. With its walled edges and sweeping views of the fells, it’s a magical spot for morning coffee or evening wine as the sun dips behind the hills. Beyond lie two acres of gardens and woodland, inviting children to roam and dogs to explore.
From your doorstep, the Cautley Spout waterfall and the vast Howgill Fells beckon. Whether hiking, cycling or simply meandering through lush meadows, there’s adventure all around. Or head into nearby Sedbergh to browse independent shops, grab a pub lunch or discover the area’s literary charm — then return to your hillside haven to watch the stars appear over the valley.
