Tucked away in Kirkby-in-Furness, Cumbria, is this lovely, detached bungalow, Marsh Garth.
Enjoying a superb location within a quiet cul-de-sac in the Lake District National Park, Marsh Garth is a wonderful dog-friendly choice for couples or a family of four.
The property benefits from an off-road parking space, and a rear enclosed garden with furniture for alfresco dining with views of Black Combe, a hose pipe for washing off muddy paws and walking gear, and a garage where you can store bikes and paddleboards.
Look forward to cooking up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, before serving up the fruits of your labour at the dining table for four.
After dinner, retreat to the sitting room, where you can curl up on the sumptuous seating with your favourite tipple in hand and select a much-loved show from the Smart TV.
Continue through to find a beautiful bathroom, where you can freshen up with your choice of bath or shower, along with two tastefully decorated bedrooms, a super-king-size with zip/link and a double.

Your new-home-from-home provides easy access to all of the outdoor activities the Lakes has to offer, including fell walking, watersports, cycling and forest trails.
The neighbouring village of Grizebeck offers a pub, petrol station and shop, and the charming village of Broughton-in-Furness is home to a Post Office, bakery, grocers and butchers together with two petrol stations, tourist information and three pubs.
