Dow Crag House - Coniston House for 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Dow Crag House is a stunning three-bedroom holiday home less than a mile from the picturesque village of Coniston. The extensive two-storey detached house benefits from an elevated hill-top position, ideal for viewing Coniston Water, the Coniston Fells and Grizedale Forest. The house was designed with views in mind having wrap-around windows on the ground floor and large windows in the bedrooms.

The ground floor is wonderfully-spacious, with a large open-plan kitchen and a dining area - perfect for the family or friends to gather and discuss the day's activities. French patio doors open from the dining area to the steps and the garden. Also on the ground floor, accessed from the kitchen or the main hallway, is the living room with two large comfy sofas, two armchairs, a Sony Smart TV, and a lovely wood-burning fire. Another exit door leads to the small patio and further onto the garden. For the kids (or an escape for the grown-up kids) is the cosy snug with a two-seat sofa and another Sony Smart TV.

Not that you'll want to do any washing while on holiday - right? But if you need to, there is a utility room with a washing machine and a tumble dryer, which also doubles up as the boot room where you can store your walking gear and shoes, easily accessible from the side entrance of the property. Off the utility room is a handy WC with a toilet and basin.

Upstairs, via 14 carpeted stairs with a secure handrail, are the three lovely bedrooms; the main bedroom, with a king-size double bed, is enormous and offers a luxury en suite bathroom with a bath and a separate shower, toilet and basin. The dual-aspect windows make the most of the view of Coniston Water, the garden, and the fells beyond. Both the second and third bedrooms, one of which is en suite with a shower, toilet and basin, have King-size double beds, which can be made up as twin beds on request. The house bathroom comprises a bath with an electric shower, toilet, and basin.

Finally, outside, to the rear of the house, is the sloped lawn garden with established plants and trees, a shallow stream & pond and the paved patio area with outside tables and chairs and a brick-built BBQ area - perfect for a summer's BBQ! To the front of the house is the gravel parking area for up to two cars.
