The Lake District and Cumbria - Ref 2013

The picturesque village of Santon sits in an area of Cumbria that is relatively undiscovered by tourists and has remained unspoilt as a result The horizon surrounding Stanton consists of stunning views of various mountains, including Great Gable, Hard Knott, Muncaster Fell, Harter Fell and England’s highest peak, Scafell The village itself is very small and tranquil, consisting of a few farm buildings, a number of cottages and a local pub, which serves excellent food to locals and visitors alike In addition to the walks and cycle-trails in the area, there are many local attractions to enjoy, such as the World Owl Centre, Muncaster Castle and Wastwater, the deepest lake in the UK To take in the scenery, but without the effort, there is a miniature railway that leads from Ravenglass to Eskdale; a truly stunning journey in which to soak up the splendour of the region This semi-detached house certainly lives up to its name, offering fantastic views of the fells from each of the three bedrooms In the colder months, the property is made snug and warm by a Parkway wood-burning stove in the lounge whilst, for those long summer evenings, there is a large garden in which you can enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sun set over the mountains With the capacity to sleep groups of up to seven people, there are two bathrooms each with a shower, and a well-equipped and sizeable kitchen There is parking for up to four cars, and the local pub is only a mile away .
