Description

Forming part of a barn dating back to the 17th Century, this well-appointed property has stunning walks on its doorstep and is only a 5 minute riverside stroll from the centre of Staveley.
Situated within the National Park just 4 miles from Windermere, Staveley is an ideal base for cyclists and walkers.  Staveley Mill Yard, the former wood turning mill, is now a thriving tourist attraction with cycling shops, cookery school, bakery, brewery and the renowned Wilf's Café, which compliment the two village pubs and children’s playground. 
Fox Barn is nestled in to the hillside on a quiet lane opposite the weir, with the fells beckoning right from the doorstep.  All on the ground floor, this cottage-style apartment is owned by a young family who use it as their second home.  It has been furnished with both modern and traditional pieces and has lots of nice touches – such as feather duvets, egyptian cotton linen, stacks of DVDs and games, a new bathroom with heated floor and a kitchen stocked with luxuries such as champagne glasses.
Fox Barn is ideal for two couples or small families wishing to spend days exploring the outdoors and evenings relaxing in the south facing garden by the warming chiminea.

About the local area

Lake Windermere is perhaps the best know area in the Lake District and Windermere village itself is about 1km from the lake. The lake stretches from Waterhead, near Ambleside, to Lakeside at its narrow southern end, over 10 miles in length and the largest lake in England. Wooded slopes dotted with cottages and houses line its shores, while the water itself is usually busy with ferries and yachts.

Windermere is not as busy as it’s near neighbour, Bowness-on-Windermere, but has its own charms and attractions. It has excellent amenities and a good selection of shops, restaurants and bars all within easy reach. The village has good public transport links with its own train station and bus routes.

Troutbeck Bridge lies to the north in between Windermere and Ambleside; handy for both but located just off the beaten track. Troutbeck Bridge has its own local amenities including a public swimming pool and a local pub. Between Troutbeck Bridge and the Low Wood Hotel lies Brockhole – The Lake District Visitor Centre. This has an adventure playground, exhibitions, café, shop and extensive grounds down to the lake and jetty.

Situated between Kendal and Windermere is the lovely village of Staveley which is often referred to as the Gateway to the Lakes. It mainly comprises of grey slate buildings which are nestled between the Rivers Kent and Gowan. It is ideally placed for exploring the rest of the Lake District and is only a few minutes away from the beautiful Kentmere valley.
