Near Todd - Dog-friendly Home for six guests

Near Todd is a dog-friendly spacious modern barn conversion property set over three levels with plenty of space and a private sheltered garden area. Families and couples will find Near Todd a comfortable and convenient base for all sorts of active, or relaxing holidays. We love the fresh, modern feel of the rooms which have oak furnishings and have been decorated in a range of muted, relaxing tones, enhanced with lots of great artwork and decorative touches. Outside, there is a sheltered furnished patio and enclosed garden area, and a secure utility room for storage of bikes etc.

This property is wonderfully positioned in quiet countryside, within easy reach of Kendal and the main route into the Lake District. Near Todd is one of a small development of similar properties, accessed via a tarmacked lane surrounded by farm fields.

Enter into the hallway to access the kitchen and lounge areas. The country-style kitchen is very well equipped and ergonomically designed for ease of use. The lounge area is a great sociable space that has a lovely light and airy feel and is comfortably furnished with a corner sofa and additional easy chairs. The dining table is handily positioned in the lounge, just a few steps from the kitchen. Step out through the patio doors to the patio and garden and enjoy a refreshing drink al fresco as you breathe in that clean Lake District air.

Upstairs to all the bedrooms. On the first floor is a bedroom with Kingsize bed and views towards the rolling hills. The other bedroom is a twin room with jolly decor and ideal for children. On this level, there is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. Upstairs again to the top floor and the third bedroom which has a Kingsize bed, skylight window, and both a desk and a dressing table. Also on this level is a shower room with a shower enclosure.

Outside, there is one dedicated parking space, a secure utility room with washing machine and dryer, and space for you to store bikes and muddy boots after a day exploring the lakes. The rear garden is enclosed for your furry friend (not guaranteed escape proof due to a small gap to the neighbouring garden) and gets plenty of sun throughout the day.

A nearby public footpath is great for stretching the legs and, just a few hundred metres up the road (no pavement), you will find The Gateway Inn, a local popular pub serving food. Opposite The Gateway Inn is the Plumgarths Farm Shops which includes a cafe, butchers, and the award-winning bakery Lovingly Artisan which sells all manner of pastries and breads. All of Kendal's facilities and attractions can be reached on foot in around 30 minutes and Windermere is just a 10 minute drive away.

Book early as this property is very popular with families.
