Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this loft conversion nestled in the heart of medieval Cartmel, home of the sticky toffee pudding. Traditional inns and Michelin-starred restaurants are right on the doorstep, and you’re a fifteen-minute drive from Lake Windermere for invigorating rambles. Back at the pad, the hot tub is the perfect place to end the day, while the private courtyard encourages alfresco dining when the sun’s shining. Out here, you’ll also find what was once the village’s ‘lock-up’, now serving as a cosy bedroom – though keep in mind space is minimal, so it might be better suited to one person rather than two.

Local guide
About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
