17th century farmhouse with views over valley and lake in remote location | Cottage in Penrith

1 Bedroom Cottage in Martindale, Penrith
The accommodation is part of Hallin Bank, a 17th century Lakeland farmhouse. The buildings are set in eleven acres of private land at the end of a single track, with parking space at the top. The location, on the south slopes of Hallin Fell and overlooking the valley of Martindale, is stunning. The same family has occupied Hallin Bank since 1905 and the owner mostly lives on site.
'The Fold' is a small cottage, available to rent all year round. It is attached to the farmhouse, which is also sometimes let out as a holiday let, but it is separated from it by a large barn (so there is no risk of sound interference) and has independent access. A public footpath runs past the back of the buildings, but the house faces the other way, looking south down the valley.
The loft bedroom contains a king size double bed and a single bed. It is accessed by a steep staircase rising from the kitchen area. Downstairs is the bathroom, with shower and washing machine, and the kitchen-dining room. The living room, on two levels, features a wood-burning stove and television/DVD player. Its garden door opens on to a terrace where you can sit outside, observe the local wildlife and enjoy views down the valley. From the terrace there is access straight into the orchard and terraced garden, filled with snowdrops and daffodils in springtime. It slopes steeply down towards the field.
You may wander anywhere in the fields and woodland above and below the house. There are splendid walks in every direction with wildlife close at hand, including red squirrels, badgers, red deer and many types of bird. Well behaved dogs are welcome. Lake Ullswater is a 15 minute walk away and you can take the ferry from nearby Howtown to the villages of Glenridding at the head of the lake or Pooley Bridge at its foot. The nearest town, Penrith, is 10 miles away. You can eat well at a number of pub or hotel restaurants in the area, the nearest being the Howtown Hotel, famous for its old-world charm and excellent cooking.
We kindly ask you to co-operate with the composting and recycling systems.
The Fold is old, and the location is remote, and I spend a lot of time working on the land around the house! Please don't expect straight lines, spotless surfaces, super-fast broadband, or a yard free from tree-planting material. Nevertheless, hopefully you will find this a good spot for rest and relaxation, a base for walking in the fells, or a romantic retreat.
