The Location The property is surrounded by open countryside and the gardens face towards the iconic Ullswater fells, which can the viewed in winter and potentially throughout the year if the garden trees were thinned. The area is highly desirable, with Ullswater and the northern Lake District on the doorstep and yet the hamlet is very peaceful due to little through traffic. The nearby A66 offers excellent transport links to Keswick and the market town of Penrith is a short drive away with major amenities and rail links. Page 10 of 12
