About this property

Tiffle Bank, a charming three-bedroom cottage is tucked away in the breath-taking Lake District National Park in the village of Hawkshead, Cumbria.

With pretty views of the surrounding countryside, Latterbarrow and the surrounding fells, you'll be moments away from local amenities, including a picturesque lake, ideal for a family or group of friends seeking a peaceful escape to Cumbria.

Step into your new home-from-home to discover the superb kitchen/diner, fully-equipped for cooking up your best dishes and offering a charming breakfast bar where you can sip a cold glass of wine or delight your morning coffee.

Head into the formal dining room to tuck into your homemade feast or venture outside to the private, raised-level patio, perfect for an alfresco affair.

When day rolls into night, retreat back inside to relax and unwind in the sitting room, complete with an inviting open fire; the perfect spot to enjoy a movie night or board games with your loved ones.

Finally, wash away the day in the sleek family bathroom on the ground floor, or opt for a wonderful super-king-size with its very own en-suite facilities, perfect for freshening up after a long day. In the morning, enjoy a cup of tea on the patio leading straight from your bedroom.

The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Visitors can wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th century houses. There are many pleasant inns, teashops, guest houses and gift shops in the village, as well as the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which houses an annually changing exhibition of the famous author’s illustrations and stories. The other famous Hawkshead enthusiast, William Wordsworth, attended the Old Grammar School in 1779-87, which still stands today, and you can visit the building where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form, and even see the desk into which he scratched his name as a small boy! Newby Bridge is ten miles away and offers attractions such as the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises, sailing daily between Ambleside, Bowness and Lakeside. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year.
