Wansfell (Pet) is an appealing single-storey lodge set on Whitbarrow close to Penrith in Cumbria, bringing together open-plan living.
Thoughtfully arranged for groups of up to six, it lends itself to family get-togethers, a friend’s escape or a couple sharing with loved ones, with sociable interiors flowing easily out to a private deck with hot tub, outdoor sauna and pergola.
On arrival, step into the heart of the home, an open-plan living space where you can unwind in the sitting area after time out and about, linger over long meals at the dining table, and prepare favourite dishes in the practical kitchen, home to an electric oven, ceramic hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, grill, boiling water tap, wine chiller, coffee maker, kettle and toaster.
When day turns to evening, Wansfell (Pet) provides three calm sleeping spaces, including a king-size bedroom with its own en-suite walk-in shower, basin and WC, a double room, and a twin, served by a separate bathroom with bath, basin and WC, helping everyone get ready without feeling rushed.
Patio doors draw you out to the decking, where outdoor furniture offers a pleasant spot for simple breakfasts or evening drinks, the barbecue sets the scene for easy al fresco suppers, and the hot tub and outdoor sauna invite you to pause and soak up the fresh Cumbrian air, with two parking spaces close to the lodge and additional on-site parking for extra vehicles.
From the doorstep at Wansfell (Pet), days can be spent following local walking routes, exploring the surrounding countryside with the dog, or heading into nearby Penrith to pick up everyday essentials, enjoy a meal out or browse the shops, before returning to this good base on Whitbarrow near Penrith, Cumbria.
