Please call Sykes Cottages to book this property as we will need to check availability with the owner. Appleby-in-Westmorland 2.7 miles. Coming down a quiet country lane in the village of Dufton, you'll be taken aback by this beautiful sandstone farmhouse cottage, Dudmire is a picturesque property made for hosting the perfect family holiday, with six bedrooms, and a large garden it is sure to impress. Heading in through the old wooden door, you come into the farmhouse-style kitchen, where you can sit at the breakfast table and watch breakfast being cooked up for you, with classic tiling on the walls and large stone slab flooring adding more character to this already charming property. Attached is a utility room which has the washer/dryer and fridge, and further along is the ground-floor shower room. On the other side of the property is the open-plan living/dining room, where the whole party can gather together, whether for a sit-down meal, or a takeaway on the sofa, you will delight in nestling into the leather sofa arrangement, and lighting the woodburning stove on a chilly evening. This room still features its original brick fireplace, and the owners have done well to maintain the property's authenticity by furnishing it with beautiful antique furniture. When it's time to head to bed after a long day of exploring the Pennines, you can choose from six rooms, the first being a ground-floor double which would be ideal for the older members of the party or less able with a shower room being found on the ground floor too. Upstairs you will find a twin, three doubles and the master bedroom which has a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room, so you might have to draw straws for that one! Serving the bedrooms is the spacious family bathroom featuring a beautiful roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower, so you can choose to have an indulgent soak in the tub, as the natural light pours in from the windows. On a summer's day, eat lunch outside on the patio at the front of the property, and let the children run around on the grass with so much space to play. When you don't feel like cooking, walk one mile over to the village pub and enjoy some lovely classic dishes with a cold drink, or for more choice journey over to nearby Appleby-in-Westmorland for a wider range of eateries and amenities. The North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is on your doorstep, so get your walking boots out and enjoy a day of exploring on foot where you can enjoy heather-clad moors, tumbling waterfalls, peatlands, and outstanding views all the way to the Lake District Fells. Dudmire will be everything you could want for your family gathering, exploring this amazing area of Cumbria.
