Read the full agent description

Holmthwaite is an end of terrace Victorian town house with accommodation luxuriating over three floors, there really is ample space for all. Currently running as a popular holiday let, ideally suited to multi generation family holidays, or perhaps larger groups of friends, it has magnificent fell views and is tucked away on a quiet street, yet benefits from all the amenties Coniston has to offer.

The entrance porch has lots of space for muddy boots and wet coats, and leads to the elegant hallway. The welcoming dual aspect through lounge is bright and spacious with bay window to the front and glazed patio doors to the rear. Light floods in, and with wood burning stove set upon a slate hearth this generously sized reception room is ideal for gathering and relaxing with friends and family.

The kitchen is another fabulously light room, being triple aspect and well equipped. Having wall and base units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a stainless steel double sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a Bosch microwave, Rangemaster 5 ring gas hob/ double oven stove with extractor hood over, Prima dishwasher and automatic washing machine. There is ample space to dine as well as cook, ideal for entertaining.

Additionally there is a handy downstairs cloakroom, just in case any of the four bathrooms in this spacious home are already occupied!

The first floor has three double bedrooms between them boasting fell views and original features such as cast iron fireplaces, (no longer in use) and two stylish and contemporary shower rooms.

On the second floor are three further bright and airy double bedrooms with fell and countryside views, along with two bathrooms, one which has an elegant footed roll top bath. Simply perfect for soaking away any aches and pains after a hard day.

Outside to the front is a patio area, ideal for a bit of people watching perhaps with a glass of something cool at the end of the day, whilst the rear has a flagged sitting area, and a generous space for parking.

Location 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 on the far shore, whilst Donald Campbell's fated water speed record attempts on the lake are the stuff of legend.

You can stroll from the doorstep down to the lake shore or hike the many high fells which form the backdrop to the village which is itself very well served by a variety of traditional Inns serving locally brewed ale, shops, cafes and schools.
