Fell Foot House, Nibthwaite, Ulverston LA12 8DF

Fell Foot House is a traditional detached four bedroom stone built barn which was converted into a farmhouse in the 1930’s. The property offers a generous sociable kitchen diner, a cosy lounge, sun room, boot room and plenty of outdoor space. It would suit a variety of buyers, whether as a family home, holiday let or holiday retreat.

The property also incorporates an integral compact self-contained unit, offering options for holiday rental, home office or a self contained space for friends and relatives. This is on the ground floor with level access.

Situation
High Nibthwaite is a unique hamlet, situated on the south eastern shores of Coniston Water. In former days it would have been a bustling place, storing and transporting charcoal, slate and other commodities down the River Crake. Now it is a peaceful corner of the Lake District National Park, with the lake, woodlands & waterfalls on the doorstep. Famous for Arthur Ransome, author of Swallows and Amazons, who spent his childhood holidays here and from which he gained inspiration for his stories later in life. Properties rarely come up for sale in High Nibthwaite and the current owners have lived here for forty years. This is a rare opportunity to purchase close to Coniston water.
