About this property
Characterful Lake District village cottage with stunning walks from the door
Close to all the village amenities stands a tall and thin Victorian terrace, Dixon Ground. Perfectly positioned on the footpath to the Old Man of Coniston and Levers Water, and on the foothills of the crags behind, these terraced cottages are well situated for walkers, bikers and explorers keen to get straight onto the fells. Number 2 Dixon Ground is a three storey cottage nestled within the terrace, up a gravelled path. The house comfortably sleeps 4 people with the added flexibility of beds for 6, making it perfect for couples, families or small groups of friends.
Though centrally located, with a pub within rolling distance, No. 2 Dixon Ground is pleasantly peaceful. For keen walkers there is access to the spectacular Coniston fells direct from the front door. In essence 2 Dxon Ground would suit families with children of any age or couples looking to relax and enjoy the local area.
