Sunnythwaite, Hawkshead

Property overview

The lodge is built and finished to a very high standard. There are four steps up to the front door and the decking but once inside, the lodge is all on one level. You will enter through the utility room where there is a washer/dryer, boiler and space to leave muddy shoes, boots and coats.

There are two generously sized bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes. The master bedroom has a king sized bed with a large en-suite shower room and there is also a twin bedroom.

There is a family bathroom with a mains shower over the bath and a large towel rail. The open plan kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, dishwasher, gas hob, electric oven and a fridge/freezer.

The open plan lounge/diner has lots of space and incorporates a dining table which seats four, large sofas, a smart TV and a wood burner (with logs easily available in Ambleside or Hawkshead).

From here you can also access the deck / patio with outdoor seating where you can sit back and listen to the sounds of the nearby Lakeland stream.
