This property enjoys a stunning and peaceful, rural location above the western shoreline of Ullswater. There is a wealth of opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. A hundred yards from the front door is the spectacularly scenic Ullswater Way, a twenty mile path that cir cumnavigates the entire lake. This can be done in its entirety or done in sections, maybe using the Ullswater Steamers for transport from one section to another. One part of this path goes from the house to the impressive Aira Force waterfall. At the south end of the lake there is access to high level walking in the Helvellyn range and Place Fell. As well as proximity to fabulous high and low level walking and cycling this area provides activities ranging from lake based adventures, sailing and canoeing, to adrenaline fuelled abseiling, canyoning and cliff jumping. In the village is an activity centre offering a large range of fun filled activities suitable for families, groups, couples with all the necessary support and equipment. Watermillock is ideally placed for food enthusiasts with a number of great restaurants in the village itself, in nearby Pooley Bridge or within easy access, including the famous Sharrow Bay Hotel just on the opposite shore of Ullswater. This property was originally built as the village school in the 19th century and now pro vides a spacious and comfortable place to stay. On arrival, guests will find a very warm welcome in the open plan kitchen/diner, which is the heart of the house. At one end is the kitchen area with its Aga and American style fridge freezer, in the centre is a large dining table, and by the patio doors to the garden there is a lounge area with sofa, arm chairs, toy chest and a TV with Sky channels. A utility room houses the washing machine and tumble drier. The first lounge has a wood burner, tv with Sky channels, and patio doors opening to the pond area of the garden. For those looking for a quiet retreat from the communal living areas, a second lounge is the perfect place to escape. Here there is a sofa with recliners. There is also an upright piano for musically minded guests. Upstairs there are four bedrooms off a spacious landing which houses the bar football table. The master bedroom is king size with an en suite shower and WC. The second bedroom is another attractive and spacious king size room and there are two further twin bedded rooms. On the first floor there is a bathroom with WC, and a separate shower room with WC. Outside, the house is surrounded by its own generously sized delightful and private gar den, bordered by a babbling beck, and including lawns, a lily pond and woodland area. There is little noise other than from birds and farm animals and there is no light pollution allowing spectacular views, on a clear night, of the night sky. Garden furniture is provided, as well as a BBQ and secure storage for bikes. There is off road parking available for up to six cars.
