Home Farm House, Cumbria

A homely house in the spectacular North in a small hamlet called Hutton John! An extraordinary find in the fabulous farming country of North Lakeland, Home Farm House combines an idyllic location and the rustic charms of an authentic picture-book period residence with luxurious modernisation, finished to the most exacting standards, and with charming flourish! Explore the stunning landscapes around Ullswater and revel in the comforts of one of our finest holiday homes. A true Lakeland farmhouse built in the warm-looking red stone common to this part of our region, your hospitable homestead dates from the 19th Century and has been lovingly restored to produce a first-class retreat for discerning Lakelovers. A judicious eye has informed the style here, melding original features with fresh décor and thoroughly modern comforts. A sumptuous sitting-room boasts a toasty wood-burning stove to warm your evening gatherings, and a separate 'snug' gives you cosiness and a little alone-time. The rather fabulous kitchen and incorporated dining area, with its substantial farmhouse table, is sure to become central to your stay, a great place to enjoy those all important social mealtimes, while the bedrooms and bathing facilities are pure class- you'll be in heaven reclining in the feature free-standing tub in the first-floor bathroom! Your spacious yet cosy property is complemented by an equally hospitable garden. This encircles the house and is pleasingly private, being bordered by mature trees and hedgerows. The extensive lawn makes a fantastic area for family games or eating outside, and, of course, for just lying back and soaking in the sun! The sweeping farmlands surrounding Home Farm House soon rise to the romantic slopes of the Lakeland fells, and all manner of adventure awaits you here. Keswick, with its bustling nightlife and endless attractions, lies not far away, and with it the Northern Fells, inviting you to conquer Skiddaw or the dramatic 'Saddleback', Blencathra, or wander the undulating ridges of Cat Bells above serene Derwentwater. You'll find plenty of water-based action there, too, and that is equally so at beautiful Ullswater, just a few minutes drive to your south, where rowboats and canoes are abundant and the gorgeous steamer boats glide between some of the finest hill scenery in the country. For larger groups, the owner of Home Farm Cottage also offers two other high-end escapes nearby – Lacet Cottage (sleeps 4) and Highgate (sleeps 8). Home Farm House is a superb host for you to enjoy the best of the Lakes with good friends or family, and will ensure you do so in the lap of Lakelovers luxury!
