Situated in the village of Silecroft, this cosy cottage boasts an incredible location within close proximity to much of Cumbria’s natural beauty spots. A secluded, sandy beach is within walking distance, and makes the perfect dog walking route, as do the Lake District’s fells if you’re on the adventurous side. The home has all the makings of a classic country home, with a fireplace and spacious garden that houses an array of fruit trees (feel free to help yourself). The master bedroom contains a double sofa bed, making it ideal for two adults and two children who don’t mind sharing a room.
