Fell House

Fell House, Howgill Lane, Sedbergh, Cumbria, England

Renovated from top to toe, this converted Victorian grain warehouse keeps its wonderful stone fireplaces and great exposed beams. Walk straight into a big stylish sitting room with a flagstone floor, low beams and coal-effect gas fire. Four sofas, TV, DVD and a selection of films make it perfect for relaxing, it is warmly and charmingly furnished and there are thoughtful extra touches – fresh flowers, a bottle of wine. An iron spiral staircase leads you up to the kitchen/dining area above, where high-beamed ceilings and big skylights look down on parquet floors and a table that seats up to 16; the friendly kitchen is at one end. One bedroom - with a futon-style bed and a double - is tucked into a curtained-off area around the corner from the sitting room, and there are a couple of twin/double rooms too, one en suite: more exposed beams, more skylights. The master bedroom is light and bright, with a parquet floor, a metal-framed bed on a raised area, a good-sized bathroom. Every bathroom sparkles: white tiles, chrome fittings, slate-like floors, stacks of towels. There's no garden, but you can walk The Howgill Fells from the door - this would be great for a group of walkers. Historic Sedbergh has good shops, pubs and restaurants.

Adjoining flat for up to six also available.
