Nestled in the picturesque Appleby-in-Westmoreland and surrounded by a superb garden sprawling across an acre of land, this magnificent Grade ll-listed getaway is the ultimate rural retreat perfect for that extra special long-awaited get-together with loved ones.

With a high ceiling, original servants’ bells and large windows framing idyllic vistas, the entrance hallway sets an elegant, decedent atmosphere, perfectly reflected in the lounge, which features grand windows and a roaring gas fire that promises to soothe weary walking muscles. Centred around an impressive oak dining table, the kitchen/diner combines rustic touches with contemporary charm, equipped with everything you need to rustle up some delicious treats. The two super-king-size bedrooms (which can be made up as twins) and the small bunk bedroom adjoining one of these bedrooms afford the same charming character as the rest of the ground floor. Upstairs, you’ll find two double bedrooms, one of which opens out onto a balcony, and a children’s bunk bedroom. Outside, lose yourself in the charm of the inspiring garden, set over an acre and featuring a fenced pond, tree house, swings, children's stumpery and plenty of tucked away spots to enjoy dining alfresco on a fine evening.

Overlooked by the Pennine range with the Lake District fells on the western horizon, the idyllic market town of Appleby-in-Westmoreland is surrounded by glorious scenery, perfect for keen walkers and cyclists, and home to many local restaurants, bars, shops, cafes and galleries. Uncover some of Cumbria’s finest countryside by exploring the North Pennines, Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, all reached within 15 miles, or by walking the banks of the River Eden running through the town centre on your doorstep. Culture vultures are spoilt for choice with the Dalemain Mansion and Historic Gardens, and Lowther Castle and Gardens both reached within 16 miles.
