Property information

From the parking area at the front, step into the flagged hallway where you’ll find ample hanging space for all your outdoor coats and boots. There’s a large shower room off here with a spacious cubicle, basin and WC and an adjacent utility equipped with a washer, dryer, microwave and fridge freezer. Head left into the glorious beamed farmhouse kitchen-come-dining room with super facilities of Aga, supplementary electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge and plenty of workspace for preparing meals. The dining table is plenty big enough for 8 and there’s direct access to the outside patio where you’ll find ample seating for everyone. Open tread stairs lead to the impressive beamed lounge, dressed with traditional, comfy furnishings arranged around the wood-burning stove, TV and DVD. French doors off here lead to the outside lawned garden which wraps around the rear of the barn. The first of the four bedrooms sit on this floor, a spacious king size with a separate dressing area and en-suite bathroom with shower over the bath, basin and WC. Up to the second floor, again via the open tread stairs to three more pretty bedrooms, each a double with exposed beams and bags of character that share in the main house bathroom where you’ll find a shower over a very deep bath, perfect for enjoying a long soak with basin and WC. Outside, the two seating areas both have furniture provided and offer superb views out of Windermere and her surrounding fell range. Although the garden is child and dog friendly, it is not fully enclosed and there are some low walls. Parking is available directly outside the property for two vehicles. Do take care with younger children on the open tread stairs.

Neighbourhood information

BEAUTIFUL LAKELAND BARN CONVERSION SET IN THE SMALL HAMLET OF RYDAL Nestling in the shadow of Rydal Mount, home of William Wordsworth and set directly under Nab Scar, Hart Head House boasts an enviable location within this tiny hamlet, the perfect getaway for an outdoorsy group of family or friends seeking direct access to the wonderful walking and cycling that the area has to offer. This stunning, traditional barn conversion just oozes Olde Worlde character and charm and displays a wealth of exposed beams and trusses, perfectly matched with carefully chosen furnishings and accessories to create a country theme throughout. The large kitchen dining room is definitely the hub of this house, a super sociable room where everyone can gather at either end of the day to prepare and share a delicious meal together. The beamed sitting room with open tread staircase at its centre provides a lovely open outlook and ample seating for everyone to kick back and relax together whilst the pretty bedrooms allow each of you some essential ‘me time’ and a comfortable bed to ensure a great night’s sleep. From the doorstep, take a circular stroll around Rydal Water and explore the impressive cave before heading up the gentle slopes of Loughrigg or along the hillside path to Grasmere whilst taking in the magnificent views. The five-acre garden at Rydal Mount, still under the ownership of the Wordsworth family is a joy to explore with a mix of fellside terraces, rock pools and an ancient mound – the tea room is well worth a visit too!
