Tranquility
& Relaxation ...
The Lakeland stone farmhouse has been refurbished over the winter and together with all expected modern

and tranquility of two open fires. |

Dash.

Only
the sheep grazing ...
The farmhouse stands alone in the quiet countryside offering a haven of
calm and stillness. There are no neighbours, only the sheep grazing
to disturb the serenity. To the front of the house there is a walled
garden and a glorious panoramic view of Whitewater Dash waterfall, Dead
Crags and the more gentle countryside down towards Bassenthwaite
Lake. To the rear of the property there is a cobbled courtyard,
formerly used as the farmyard. |
Lakeland
Hill Farm ...
The house and outbuildings date from the 16th Century and since that time
The Dash has been occupied as a Lakeland hill farm with many sheep and a
few cattle. A few months ago, the opportunity arose for us to buy
the farm, and so we have been refurbishing and making the house ready for
guests (internal pictures coming soon). We, ourselves live on another hill
farm very locally and so have been able to continue care of the stock at
the farm.

Horses are welcome
Stabling and fodder are supplied at an extra charge. If you have an
interest in horses, this might interest you - Overwater
Equestrian - only ten minutes away.
|
Access
The farmhouse is about a mile from the public highway and is reached via a tarmac
road. Please leave the farm gates as you find them, thank you.
