| Townson Ground lies at the north east head of Coniston Water, a group of six adjoining, individually owned houses and cottages. The village of Coniston lies about a mile and half around the lake, offering shops, cafes and a number of good pubs serving locally brewed ale. From the village, tracks lead up through the old coppermines valley and to the foot of Coniston Old Man, where the hearty can make an attempt to the 2635 ft summit and view never to be forgotten. At the boating centre you can hire rowing, sailing and little electric power boats, setting off to explore the shoreline and bays. Garden House Garden House adjoins the main house. Approached either by steps from the lane or a path from the car park, this little cottage looks out on to a sunny patio and lawned garden with a perfect view of the mountain. Built all on one level, you enter into the sitting dining room with contempoary furnishings, bright sunny windows and, as a focal point, a cheery log burning stove. The kitchen is modern and well planned, having everything you need to prepare hearty dinners or light lunches. There are two bedrooms, one the master double and, perhaps more suited to children, there is also the compact twin. The bathroom is all new, fitted with bath, overhead shower, wc and basin. |
