A touch of Cumbrian rural idyll on the fringes of the Lake District National Park, this modern stone faced cottage attached to the owner's home is quietly located in a village with a local pub and friendly community and surrounded by lovely countryside. Stone walls, lush fields with grazing animals, and the Lake District fells create a delightful backdrop for walking and touring, and only minutes' drive away are the tea rooms and clog makers of Caldbeck village, whose famous son 'D'ye ken John Peel' is buried there. Bassenthwaite Lake, Derwentwater by Keswick, treetop adventure courses in Whinlatter's forest and the cathedral and castle in the Border city of Carlisle are all within about a half hour's drive. A pub serving food and post office are about 500 yards, Greystoke village shop is 4 miles, and more extensive shopping, cinema and a leisure centre with climbing wall are found in the market town of Penrith (6 miles).
