About this property

Family self catering upto 14/16 in great cottage no neighbours but close to shop

Built in the 1700s Hill Top Farm is within the Lake District National Park, approx 4 miles from Coniston Water and 6 miles from Windermere. It is situated on the outskirts of Penny Bridge village, enjoying an elevated rural situation, with views over the Levens estuary. This is a peaceful and secluded location, with no neighbouring properties on its single-track road, whilst being less than a mile from local shops at Greenodd (baker, butcher, post office / general store, pub).
This traditional and quirky Lakeland self catering detached farmhouse is set in approx two acres of land and is full of individual character, with exposed beams, old slate flags and oak floors and old pine doors, open fire and a wood burning stove. All rooms have rural views. It now has new full central heating, kitchen, dining, four bedrooms carpeted, a large vaulted lounge, small snug/5th bedroom (with sofa bed) bathroom, shower room and a large barn loft games room, creating a comfortable and warm home-from-home.

Our newly refurbished attached Barn includes a modern high spec design, new technology and high quality furnishing and consists of: a separate entrance, ground floor walk-in shower room, bespoke high spec kitchen / dining room and an open plan lounge with burning stove and a door / bookcase through to the main house ( lockable on both sides). There is a large glass doors to the garden, with views to the estuary. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and another bathroom. The barn can be booked for those people booking the main house who require additional self contained accommodation; it will not be available to be rented separately.

Our aim is to share our home (when we are not there) to groups & families who enjoy the Lake District. As the feedback and bookings show above, Hill Top Farm is popular, so if you are looking to book please try and book well ahead.
