Location Leave Ambleside village centre on the A593 signposted towards Coniston, taking the left hand turn signposted for Hawkshead, immediately crossing the River Brathay on the B5286. Follow this road south for 3 or 4 miles and the pretty village of Hawkshead comes into view. The road bears sharply to the left and then right and then the next turning on your right leads you into Kings Yard. Bear right within this cul-de-sac and 2 Croft Barn is found tucked away on your righthand side.

Description This beautifully appointed stone-built cottage style ground floor apartment is quietly placed at the head of a small cul-de-sac which is superbly located just a few minutes stroll from the heart of beautiful Hawkshead. With two double bedrooms, a wonderfully spacious open plan living space with a fitted kitchen area, a modern shower room, easily managed patio style garden and parking, Jennys has it all.

Converted from a former barn, this attractive and welcoming home is just a short stroll from the very heart of Hawkshead, surely one of Lakelands prettiest villages which is a popular all year around tourist destination being idyllically placed at the northern end of Esthwaite Water and the Grizedale Forest, perfectly placed roughly midway between the beautiful lakes of Windermere and Coniston Water. This most picturesque of villages is blessed with a delightful combination of traditional squares and intriguing alleyways and offers a charming variety of highly regarded shops, cafes and traditional Lakeland Inns.

Entered via a private hallway with excellent storage provision you will be immediately impressed by the wonderful open plan living space which greets you. With distinct relaxation, dining and kitchen areas, this bright and sunny room is the perfect spot in which to unwind after a long week at work, stretch out after a day on the fells or simply to sit down and plan tomorrows adventures. The delightful kitchen area is well equipped with attractive units and a variety of appliances including a cooker, hob, hood, dishwasher and a washer/drier.

The rear hallway gives access to two evenly balanced double bedrooms and the beautifully appointed and spacious shower room. The rear patio style garden is the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a quiet tipple in the evening, and with car parking at the front Jennys has everything a successful holiday let, and idyllic weekend retreat or perfectly placed permanent home might require.
