Family friendly bungalow, peaceful location, superb views

A peaceful relaxing getaway, Halsteads sits in the friendly village of Kirkby-in-Furness. With a world class view to the rear of the property, it makes the perfect base for a family/ mixed generational holiday or an outdoors activity vacation. Easy to get to (even in Winter), it is close to the festival town of Ulverton and within a 20 minute journey to Coniston. Slightly further afield, but easy to reach by car, are the Central Lakes (Windemere, Bowness, Ambleside, Grasmere and Rydal). Alternatively you can take the train up the fabulous West Coast. Recommended rail destinations are: Ravenglass and L'aal Ratty; Maryport with its Aquarium and Roman Museum and Whitehaven with the Rum Museum. There are several nice walks in between stations for a hop on, hop off type of day.

There are three bedrooms - one king size, one double and one twin.

There is a family bathroom with bath, washbasin, toilet and large shower. In addition there is a separate cloakroom toilet/basin.

The kitchen is a large, country style fully equipped with all appliances, utensils and cookware.

There are two lounges - the largest, with wood burning stove, at the front of the property. The smaller day lounge at the rear with views of the fells.

From the house there are spectacular views over Kirby Pool, the Duddon Estuary and Mosses and on a very clear day to the Isle of Man. Over thirty tops are visible including Coniston Old Man, Stickle Pike, Black Coombe and Scafell. It has a pastoral setting with sheep in the meadows behind.

Village amenities include two pubs (both serving food), Pam's Cafe, a railway station and village shop essentials are available at Longlands caravan park, sports facilities and a children’s play park, churches and health centre. It is an excellent area for walking, cycling and wildlife as well as sightseeing and historical interest; the Cumbria Coastal path runs five minutes from the door. Banks and more extensive shopping and leisure facilities can be found in Ulverston or Barrow-in-Furness. Halsteads lies within the Tesco and Asda home delivery areas for the convenience of internet shopping ordered from home to be delivered on your arrival.

Halsteads is particularly suitable for families or mixed age parties with elderly relatives or friends.

Security: There is a security camera located above the garage door which monitors the driveway and the steps to the house. We turn this off when the house is rented.
In the hallway the Nest thermostat incorporates a motion detector - this helps control the heating when it detects people in the property.
