Townend Farmhouse - Watermillock, Ullswater | House in Watermillock

Townend Farmhouse is a beautiful self-catering holiday home on the western shores of Lake Ullswater, surrounded by breathtaking scenery in all directions.
The traditional four-bedroom farmhouse has been refurbished throughout with families in mind, while still maintaining many of the original features including the exposed wooden beams and mullioned stone windows.
Guests are given access down a private farm track to the public footpath which leads through the Marina to Another Place, a gorgeous hotel offering casual dining for lunch and dinner with great lake views. The nearest pub is The Brackenrigg Inn & Brewery, just half a mile up the road; and Pooley Bridge is a 5-minute drive away where you can enjoy a range of pubs, cafes and shops or board the Ullswater steamer boats to sail the length of Ullswater to Howtown and Glenridding.
Entry to the house is from the enclosed gravel courtyard, with parking for up to two cars. The ground floor comprises a lovely living room with comfy sofas, a coffee table and a Freeview Smart TV with streaming apps including Netflix, but you will need your own account to use them. If you need to do a bit of work while on leave, the solid wood desk is ideal.
Also on the ground floor is the well-appointed kitchen with a breakfast table. With wooden worktops, plenty of storage plus modern appliances including an induction hob, a dishwasher (nobody wants to be washing the dishes on holiday, right?) and a large fridge and freezer. If you do miss some homely chores, there is a washing machine too. All-in-all, everything you need to cook a lovely family meal after a day out exploring.
Talking of meals, the sitting room next door to the kitchen also has a large solid wooding dining table for six but can seat up to eight people. This room is lovely, with original stone mullioned windows and comfy sofa seating. A great space for the adults while the kids enjoy the living room.
Upstairs are four fabulous bedrooms, two double and two singles plus two bathrooms. Three of the four bedrooms benefit from views of Ullswater and the surrounding fells, especially the main bedroom with a coffee table and chairs situated in front of the sash widow. A great space to relax with a book and admire the views.
In the warmer months, the enclosed garden is a wonderful space where you can relax in the sunshine, or perhaps enjoy a family meal alfresco.
