The property
Beautifully set in a wild and wonderful setting just south of Coniston lies Bracken Ground, a truly luxurious retreat for family and friendly gatherings in the Lake District.
Sat alongside a meandering stream, surrounded by 7 acres of natural grounds with a private outdoor hot tub and sauna, this is the perfect Lake District base.
A large private drive leads you up to the house, enter through the large porch and into a large open plan sitting room with dining area with double French doors leading out to the garden and a woodburning stove for those cosy Autumn evenings.
There are 5 luxury bedrooms for you and yours to spread out and relax in, with a beautiful master suite with en-suite shower room, bay window and sitting area.
Back outside, there’s plenty of space for everyone to explore, and if you’re lucky, you may see some of the local wildlife, such as deer, badgers or foxes.
There is a wood-built barrel sauna and hot tub to unwind.
Nearby Torver and Coniston offer country pubs and plenty of Lake District walking routes.
The fine market town of Ulverston is also just 7 miles away, a labyrinth of cobbled streets, independent shops and some excellent eateries.
It is also the birthplace of Stan Laurel and home to the world’s only Laurel and Hardy museum.
Perfectly located for discovering some of the less-trodden areas of the Lake District, Bracken Ground is a magical base for a break any time of the year.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.

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.
