RASCAL HOWE

About this property

With

stunning lake views and a wealth of traditional features including oak beams

and a cast iron fireplace, Rascal Howe is a traditional Lakeland slate cottage

at the foot of the Old Man of Coniston and close to the lake where you can hire

boats or cruise on the steamer service.

The village of Coniston is perched on the lake of the same name and has inspired people throughout the ages, Arthur Ransome, the author of Swallows and Amazons, used the lake in his fiction, the artist John Ruskin lived at Brantwood House on the eastern shore and Donald Campbell attempted his fatal speed record on the lake.

There are numerous shops, pubs and restaurants in Coniston surrounded by stunning scenery and the Old Man of Coniston watches majestically over it and is loved by walkers and mountain climbers alike.

A gondola service takes you on laid back cruise down the lake where you can admire the scenery at a leisurely pace or if you prefer you can hire your own boat.

Rascal Howe is approached over a steep twisty single track road and is a 3 star traditional Lakeland slate cottage named after a rocky outcrop and is perched high above Coniston with breathtaking views of the lake below.

The cottage boasts a wealth of features such as traditional oak ceiling beams and cast iron fireplace.

The cottage is literally at the foot of the Old Man of Coniston with walks to this and surrounding fells beginning from behind the house.
