Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Countryphiles seeking a peaceful escape in the Lake District National Park need look no further than this farmhouse-style home in Great Langdale. There’s almost an acre of grounds here with a seating area to enjoy the views and a beck that has now been incorporated as a feature in the garden room. The Aga and wood-burning stove mean its always cosy, and when it’s sunny, take your pick from the endless rambling routes on the doorstep. It’s a short walk to Stickle Barn and New Dungeon Ghyll pubs, while Chapel Stile and Elterwater are easily reached by car.

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....
