About this property

Character village cottage with own hot tub plus pubs & walks close by

The Old Post Cottage, situated in the heart of Coniston is virtually on Church Beck Bridge. You couldn't wish for anything more central and yet the thick stone walls ensure that the cottage remains very quiet. Forming part of 'The Bridge Cottages', the Old Post Cottage is one of the oldest buildings in the village and as the name may suggest, the original village post office. Ideally situated just a short walk from the church, local stores, gift shops, cafes and numerous pubs. Old Post Cottage is well placed for popular valley and mountain walks including the Old Man of Coniston. In essence Old Post Cottage is perfect for couples, families and friends. Oh, and there's a hot tub available to guests, perfect for post adventure relaxation.

Ground Floor
From the private gravelled parking area, you enter a small V-shaped yet well-equipped kitchen, with slate floors, worktops and all mod cons including electric double oven & hob, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine/dryer and fridge/freezer. A couple of stairs then lead into a spacious sitting room with its large leather sofas and armchairs, great for relaxing in front of the TV with its DVD player. A big slate open fireplace creates the perfect focal point, and is most inviting on a cold winter's day. The dining area has space for six and there are some interesting artefacts around - old farming and riding equipment and even some old skis!

First floor
Upstairs there are two double or twin rooms, whatever best suits your needs.

Bedroom 1 - king size bed or twin 2'6" single beds and en-suite bathroom with whirlpool bath/shower and WC.
Bedroom 2 - king size bed or twin 2'6" single beds and en-suite shower room with WC.
