Lake District cottage with gorgeous views in Beatrix Potter country

Just south of Far Sawrey, and a mile from Near Sawrey and Beatrix Potter's home Hill Top, perched high above the valley with views stretching across to Lake Windermere, proudly stands the large mansion, Sawrey Knotts. Built in 1861 and once home to a Captain Dand, it is now a select number of beautifully converted apartments, each with its own character and charm.

Top Garden Suite is a beautiful, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom holiday apartment. Recently refurbished to a high standard, the cottage features locally purchased textiles and stunning Lake District artwork. With its excellent views, peaceful location and numerous local walks, Top Garden Suite is perfect for couples or perhaps two couples holidaying together, looking for a welcoming and comfortable base from which to venture out and explore the Lake District.

Within close walking proximity to the popular Cuckoo Brow Inn that offers many great local ales and fanatic menu comprising mostly local ingredients.

Inside
A wooden walkway leads from the driveway directly to the glass porch and front door. The bright and airy lounge has comfortable seating for 4 and a fantastic 50" 4k UHD screen Smart TV, plus fibre broadband. There is also a log burning stove to create a warm and cosy atmosphere for evenings spent relaxing fireside.

The galley kitchen features modern appliances including a multi-function induction hob, 14 function oven plus separate warming drawer / slow cooker,. A fully integrated dishwasher, the kitchen offers ample storage, a good size fridge with freezer box and all the amenities should you wish to cook at home.The kitchen shares the same view as the lounge, over the rooftops and south over the valley and South East to Windermere, so you can enjoy the lovely sights of Lakeland as you cook. You won't see any cars but you will see trees, birds and silent boats sailing on the lake.

There are two generously-sized bedrooms which both have views over the gardens at the rear of Sawrey Knotts and are equipped with black out curtains. They are also decorated with local photography.

Bedroom 1: Super-king bed or full size 3' twin singles beds. Fantastic built in wardrobe with vanity shelf. Private access to family bathroom, with bath making for a peaceful & relaxing setting for a long soak in the bath. There is also a power shower over the bath, basin and WC.
Bedroom 2: King size bed with modern en suite shower room with basin and W.C. heated towel rail. Fully fitted wardrobe allows for ample storage.
