The property

Poppy Cottage, an enchanting, 200-year-old cottage, is set on the lower slopes of a mountain above the ever-popular village of Coniston.

A stay at Poppy Cottage will give you the opportunity to experience the very best of both worlds – situated just a short walk away from the bustling Coniston village centre and the shores of Coniston Water.

However, with this dreamy cottage, set in it’s own garden, you also get total tranquillity, peace and quiet.

A narrow lane takes you to three terraced cottages, bright white against the backdrop of the fells.

Inside Poppy Cottage you will find contemporary luxury with snug styling.

The living room is open plan, with wooden beams and glossy oak floorboards.

Rich brown leather mixes with cream canvas chairs.

At the centre is a wooden spiral staircase that leads to one of the bedrooms and through a door in the lounge will lead you via a few steps to the other two bedrooms.

Poppy Cottage has plush bedrooms with wonderful sleigh bed frames and magnificent views, one bedroom has a tiny stable door leading to the garden.

The second bedroom features a fabulous freestanding rolltop bath.

The property feels generous throughout, including the Shaker-style kitchen, which is lavishly equipped.

When the weather is warm, there is a large garden complete with furniture, perfect for watching the sunset after a magical day.

The garden itself offers stunning views of the dramatic surrounding landscape, including breathtaking vistas of Old Man Mountain and the old copper mines.

Additionally, there are waterfalls and lush bluebell woods right on your doorstep.

Poppy Cottage serves as a fantastic base from which to explore this vibrant village, the majesty of Coniston Water, and the wider Lake District National Park.

Note: This property has a refundable Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

CONISTON

Hawkshead 4 miles; Ambleside 8 miles.

Nestling at the head of Coniston Water, the pretty village of Coniston is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the Lake District National Park, making it a superb base for touring, with Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere and Grasmere just a short drive away. Superb walking, mountain biking and climbing are available locally on Coniston Old Man and Wetherlam, and the lovely woodland trails at Grizedale Forest. For watersports enthusiasts, the quiet lake is ideal for dinghy sailing and canoeing, whilst the less active can enjoy a leisure cruise on the beautiful steam yacht 'Gondola’, or visit Brantwood, the former home of John Ruskin. Nearby attractions include the award-winning village of Hawkshead, home of the Beatrix Potter Gallery, Tarn Hows, one of the most visited beauty spots in the country and Esthwaite Water, famous for its fishing. A first class holiday location at any time of the year.
