Indeed, as you come over the rise into Elterwater from Skelwith Bridge, you’re confronted with a typical Lakeland view: sheep grazing on the common in front of white-washed cottages with slate roofs, and the craggy peaks of the Langdale Pikes rising behind.
A stone and slate Victorian house in the centre of Elterwater, standing in its own mature gardens, Meadow Bank has been thoughtfully renovated and beautifully furnished to create a luxurious holiday home. Set back from the narrow road which runs through the village, behind an old stone wall, the front of the house offers fine fell views to the north-west, while the rear views are across open fields to the beck. On the ground floor is a large kitchen with breakfast bar, oven, hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine / tumble dryer and microwave, a huge living / dining room with pine dining suite and sideboard, comfortable sofas, and chairs, TV & Video (with Sky film and sports channels) and micro hi-fi system, and a separate sitting room with two folding beds and TV. On the upper floor are four bedrooms - one double with portable TV and en-suite shower room, second double, two twins - and two bathrooms. | | | Contact Pat Locke Tel: 0161 928 6953 EMail: Click Here to Email Holiday Cottage Owner | |
