And just over that bridge is the detached slate Smithy Cottage, formerly the village blacksmith. Perfectly positioned Smithy Cottage really does enjoy the best of both worlds. The hustle and bustle of Coniston and its amenities are just minutes away whilst footpaths to Coniston Water and the surrounding Coniston fells & forests can be accessed from the front door. Smithy provides location, views, charm and character all in one cottage. Whether you're a couple or a group of friends escaping work life or a large family enjoying a countryside break, Smithy Cottage will fit the bill. Ground floor Entrance door from driveway into the charming cottage kitchen, complete with old fireplace and beamed ceiling but thankfully equipped with all mod cons including fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, electric oven, gas hob & microwave. Whoever gets tasked with washing up really won't mind as the window looks out towards the village, fells and Yewdale Beck flowing by. The living/dining room is enormous and continues the 'new meets old' theme. Two comfortable sofas face a modern fireplace with log burning stove; old insert drawers and plates on the walls hark back to a bygone age; a bay window allows visitors to daydream looking out over the beck, bridge and fells beyond. A door from the sitting room leads out to a narrow terrace that looks down upon Yewdale Beck. Oh and there's a TV & DVD player should the views tire you. Past the kitchen is a second, much smaller living room/snug, dominated by an old range, views of the river and its own TV. Ideal for some quiet time or a place for the kids to call their own. First floor Upstairs, a long landing leads to the three comfortable bedrooms & house bathroom with old wooden floors, views of the garden, fields and the fells around Coniston. Bedroom 1 - double bed & an en-suite bathroom with W.C, sink & bath with shower over. Bedroom 2 - king size bed or twin 2'6" single beds. Bedroom 3 - king size bed or twin 2'6" single beds. House bathroom with bath, hand shower over & W.C. Outside Riverside garden with large lawn, patio area & borders. Due to the cottage & garden's location immediate to Yewdale Beck (some steep drops to the stream), the garden is not suitable for unsupervised children or dogs. Please note the garden is not fully enclosed. Covered storage area for mountain bikes, canoes, etc. (Please note that this is not lockable.) Travelling with a dog? We can offer free use of a 1 acre enclosed field in Coniston village, perfect for off the lead running, walking, training and playing. Use by arrangement only. Please contact the office for availability. Facilities included Electricity, gas-fired central heating, Wi-Fi, bed linen, towels & initial bag of logs. Available to hire Travel cot & high chair. Parking Shared access driveway offering parking for 2 cars - with a very narrow access between stone walls. Property Notes Please note that the access driveway to Smithy Cottage is shared by a neighbouring property - therefore the access is not private. Please note entrance onto road is via a tight narrow turn off the road and care should be taken.
