Description Seathwaite Tarn is a freehold lodge in a mature woodland setting providing exceptional 2 bedroomed, 1 bathroomed bright and spacious accommodation. This unique and tastefully modernised lodge is the perfect holiday let or peaceful weekend retreat. With views and walks from the doorstep, whether that is strolling down into Skelwith Bridge or hiking amongst the surrounding fells and tarns, this location is simply idyllic.

Neaum Crag was conceived in the 1980’s and has been highly popular ever since. The 18 acre site has matured and attracts a wide variety of birds, red squirrels and deer to its wooded grounds. The on-site swimming pool is very discrete and unobtrusive but offers a great alternative for entertaining the kids or taking a little relaxing exercise when perhaps the weather has not been at its best.

You can step from the doorstep and walk to nearby Loughrigg Tarn, up to the higher fells beyond or simply down into Skelwith Bridge. The beautiful Langdale Valley is just down the road making this the perfect location from which to enjoy the wonders of The Lake District National Park, which is now a Unesco World Heritage Site.

Seathwaite Tarn is very pleasantly placed within the site, enjoying a southerly aspect from the open plan living room and kitchen. There are two double bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes, and a modern shower room. The gardens include two car parking spaces and a covered decking area, perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee or an afternoon glass of something cool.

Perfect as a lock up and leave weekend retreat or holiday let, the lodge can currently be occupied from March through to November, although many on the development have already obtained planning permission to extend the period of availability to include the winter months.

The lodge itself is bright and welcoming, having distinct kitchen and relaxation areas this dual aspect room includes a range of contemporary wall and base units with complimentary work surfaces with integrated appliances include a Neff four ring ceramic hob and Beko oven with extractor hood over, and Neff fridge/freezer.There is also space to relax as well as dine with family and friends. Double doors give access to the decked patio area.

The wonderfully light dual aspect double bedroom has a built in wardrobe and dressing table with a mirror and light over. The second bedroom, currently utilised as a twin room, also has a built in wardrobe and dressing table with a mirror and light over.

A modern three piece shower room suite with a glazed and tiled shower cubicle with a Triton shower, a wash hand basin with a light and shaver point and mirror over and storage below, a WC, an opaque window and a towel rail.

Each of the lodges within the development enjoy the immeasurable advantage of being freehold (unlike many similar developments), with each property owner having a share in Neaum Crag Limited, resulting in this much loved site being very well maintained and cared for. The leisure facilities have been refurbished in recent years.

Perfect as a holiday let or lock up and leave weekend retreat, Seathwaite Tarn is highly recommended for early viewing.
