Description The view from the stylish top floor living space at Buzzards Reach is so outstanding that it would be quite easy to almost forget the quality of the accommodation on offer at this unique and thoughtfully designed home.
The self contained apartment is entered via a private hallway and stairs which lead to two first floor double bedrooms, each dual aspect and with lovely views. The luxury bathroom has a modern and stylish three piece suite comprising a shaped bath with rainfall shower over, a wash hand basin, and a WC. This room also benefits from having underfloor heating - a treat for bare feet!
A further flight of stairs takes you to the top floor where a superb open plan living space has been created which is light, bright and airy with truly magnificent panoramic views. Three large roof lights span across the rear elevation giving a unique view of the delightful Yewdale Fells as well as the stunningly dramatic Coniston Old Man. There is plenty of space to cook, dine and indeed relax whilst still enjoying that marvellous view. There is also an original window looking out over the village on the other side too. The kitchen area is well equipped with modern fittings and appliances including an electric oven, four ring hob with Hotpoint extractor hood over, a fridge, Indesit automatic washing machine, and an Ikea slimline dishwasher. Additionally there is useful eaves storage. Outside there is an invaluable private car parking space and low maintenance garden space.
Coniston is world famous for its literary connections, with Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons being set on and around the lake and John Ruskin's home being set on the far shore whilst Donald Campbell's fated water speed record attempts on the lake are the stuff of legend. Beautiful scenery abounds, there are traditional Lakeland Inns on hand selling award winning locally brewed ale, restaurants and cafes, shops and an array of attractions making this the perfect spot whether you are seeking a successful holiday let, an idyllic lock up and leave weekend retreat or indeed and lovely permanent home - come and see for yourself, it is worth it for the view alone!
