It is quietly situated close to the centre of the picturesque village of Coniston, with local shops, great pubs and only a short walk to the lake. Accommodation Details
The front door opens into a large hall with a beautiful original wood staircase to middle and top floors. One spacious and modern with large bay window, leading to a small balcony, the other is smaller and snug in a more traditiona
l style. This was originally the library to the house and still has a collection of books and games for adults and children. There are also maps and pamphlets on walks for everyone. Both sitting rooms have an open log fire, hi-fi and T.V, including free sat + and DVD player. To the rear of the hallway is a large dining room/kitchen and a utility room leading to a shower room with toilet. The kitchen has a large range style cooker, fridge and microwave and is well equipped with more than adequate crockery, cutlery and glasses. There are plenty of large pots, pans, serving dishes, baking trays, kitchen utensils and electrical equipment. We know that Kirkbeck is often used for celebratory meals so we’ve tried to think of everything that might be needed. The cellar has been converted into a games room with a full-size slate-bed pool table. The utility room has a larger fridge, a chest freezer, two dishwashers and a washing machine. Dining area has a large table that can seat 14/16 adults comfortably and 18/20 if party includes children. French doors lead to the rear garden. First floor double en-suite
