Property
Description
Coombs View is a lovely three-bedroom cottage with
beautiful views, approximately one mile from the village of Armathwaite in the
Eden Valley.
The property has a very high
standard of finish with a large sitting room area presenting a beautiful
inglenook fireplace, drawing focus into the room, with its aesthetically
pleasing exposed stone wall behind.
An archway interlinks the open, spacious living
room that features a baby grand piano and extra comfy sofa to sink into.
Sit here surrounded by classic, antique furnishings
and enjoy a musical afternoon together with the family.
Keep yourselves cosy and warm by the wood-burner or
head to the open-plan kitchen/ diner and sit by the toasty Range cooker while
you enjoy an evening meal.
The utility room features a woodburning stove, so
you won't be feeling a chill during your stay.
Upstairs there are three lovely bedrooms, one
featuring a grand double four-poster bed with wooden detailing and curtains
that wrap around, leaving you heading to bed feeling like royalty.
There are Velux windows in the bathroom and in the
smallest of the three double rooms, letting in lots of light in the day and
views of the stars at night. A cot is also available.
Outside there is a courtyard area and secure gated
on-site parking.
This is a very dog friendly cottage with luxury
kennels offering doggy day care, and a pet bereavement facility on site.
Preparations are underway for the construction of an agility course. Dog bowls
and spare leads are available for use.
The 7-acre site, off a quiet country lane, offers a
secure dog exercise paddock including a nature pond and park benches, perfect
for leisurely walks or a picnic.
There are further meadows to which access is
available and, dependent upon the time of year, may have sheep grazing.
A selection of domestic poultry – chickens, geese,
ducks, guinea fowl, pea fowl – wander around free range.
Wild rabbits are also prevalent at dusk and dawn.
The village of Armathwaite, about one mile away, has
two good pubs and a railway station giving direct access to Carlisle on the
scenic Carlisle to Settle line. There are access walks in the surrounding
countryside.
At nearby Coombs Wood can be seen curious
rock carvings in the soft sandstone cliffs. The interesting carvings consist of
various faces and a salmon. Nearby, there is an
inscription of greater antiquity which is believed to be of possible Roman
origin.
Most
of the forest is a Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site PAWS. There are lovely
walks along the river or you can complete a circular
walk starting at one of the pubs in Armathwaite.
In
addition, there are good walks along the River Eden to Armathwaite
and Wetheral.
Penrith and the Lake District National Park are
less than 10 miles away providing plenty of walking and cycling trails, rugged
