Tucked away in the bustling market town of Ulverston, this home offers easy access to the Lake District National Park and the Cumbrian coast. While the town isn't much of a tourist attraction, step out, and you'll find yourself yards from its cobbled high street, with a butcher, a baker, and a greengrocer (no candlestick maker, unfortunately) within 100 yards of the front door. Given the region's changeable weather, the proximity of the art deco Roxy cinema is bound to be a bonus. Alternatively, seek out scene-stealing natural beauty 9 miles away at Coniston Water or Windermere. Meanwhile, Scafell Pike offers a challenging uphill hike, around an hour from home.

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....
