Secret Cottage, stunning & spacious cottage in "secret" village location
A charming, detached 19th-century former coach house which has recently undergone major, yet sympathetic, renovations to create a stunning home from home. This beautiful cottage lies tucked away in a secluded, secret position behind the other houses in Lake Road, hence the name. Besides it runs a babbling brook and there are places to sit, both inside and outside, where you can sit, relax and feel your troubles melt away as you watch the water go by. Lovingly refurbished to a high specification it provides modern-day comforts with contemporary touches whilst still retaining its cosy, cottage feel. The owners have managed to create a warm and welcoming yet stylish and spacious home, a place where visitors really can enjoy the best of both worlds.
The delights of Coniston village are just minutes from the doorstep and if it's the outdoors you crave then footpaths & cycle ways are close by too, heading down towards the lake and up into the into the surrounding Coniston fells. In, essence Secret Cottage is a fantastic base for couples, friends and families looking to explore the local area.

Outside Gardens surround the cottage, to the right of the cottage is lies a lovely little walled garden with fell views and garden furniture. To the left lies a fantastic lawned beck side garden with patio, a great place to while away lazy summers days. A fence is in place in the beck side garden however we recommend that children and pets should be supervised in this area due to the proximity to the stream which can be deep after rain.
There's also a utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer & storage area for bikes and outdoor gear.
