This modern detached house is well equipped with excellent facilities, affording every comfort for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. Its interior is one of contemporary delight: there is an interesting blend of limestone, wood and sandstone flooring, oak fittings, and a kitchen complemented by its fashionable black marble surfaces and use of stainless steel. With its own garden and furnished sitting-out area, it stands in a small development of five houses, commanding farmland views from all its windows, just off the Penrith to Ullswater route - making an ideal touring base. Within the vicinity of the small village of Tirril, it is only 2miles from Ullswater and Pooley Bridge, and ideally located for exploring the Lake District National Park - where magnificent scenery presents itself at each turn of the road. Only 3miles to Penrith, with its 12th-century ruins of Brougham Castle and near to the remnants of the Roman fort of Brocavum, it is just a few miles from Lowther Park and Wildlife Adventure Park (open Easter-October). Good walking abounds throughout the whole of this beautiful area, whether it be across fells or around nearby Ullswater Lake. Water-sports and steam boat tours available on the lake. Penrith, 3miles, offers visitors most amenities including good shops and a leisure centre. The town has a ruined 14th-century castle, as well as numerous narrow streets, arcades and alleys to explore. The nearby country house of Dalemain, set in ample grounds, started life in the 12th century as a fortified tower, but has been added to by every generation, culminating with a Georgian facade grafted onto a largely Elizabethan house. The medieval courtyard and Elizabethan great barn doubled as the grim schoolroom and dormitory of Lowood School in the TV adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. Large entrance hall with sandstone floor. Large living room with open fire in marble fireplace and wooden floor.
