## About The Property

This impressive large house built over 4 floors is ideally located on the edge of picturesque Coniston in the Lake District, famed for the spectacular Old Man of Coniston. Shepherds Villa provides a fantastic base for those who love to walk, and the shores of Coniston Water, just 1/2 mile away, offer tremendous opportunities for watersports enthusiasts to enjoy this beautiful environment.

Groups of friends/family find this an excellent property to meet for holidays or a celebration. And the cosy living accommodation is large enough for guests to retreat into should bad weather strike.

Alternatively, when the house is not occupied by a single group, single rooms can be booked, hostel style, for those travelling alone or in smaller groups

The dining room seats 24 and is a good space to sit down over a meal and chat. The living areas at Shepherds Villa offers plenty of choice with 2 spacious light and airy reception rooms.

Shepherds Villa is set within an enclosed, mature garden so there is plenty of room for children to run around and let off steam. Adults will enjoy sitting outside, having a barbecue while they do so.  To the back of the property there is a private car park with enough room for 10 cars.

There is plenty to do in Coniston, with good local facilities including shops, restaurants and 5 pubs within walking distance.
