About this property

Eskdale Green 5.6 miles. Brigg House is a characterful detached farmhouse on the outskirts of Ulpha, near Eskdale Green, amidst the serene countryside of the southern Lake District. Well-equipped throughout, Brigg House offers a fabulous base for families and friends seeking a private bolthole in the Lake District. Allow the chef of the group to get acquainted in the kitchen, offering a gas oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and even a dishwasher, so cleaning up will be little hassle! Follow the flagstone flooring into the living room, featuring exposed beams, a corner sofa and a woodburning stove, this is a lovely spot to unwind in the evening.

Serve the fruits of your labour in the dining room, complemented with a glass of fizz as you discuss plans for the next adventure. The bedrooms await upstairs, consisting of two doubles and a twin, each neutrally presented and serviced by a magnificent bathroom. To the exterior are spacious lawned areas, giving your pooch plenty of space to explore, while from the door there are a number of fantastic walks to embark on. Eskdale green offers a convenience store and a local pub where you can enjoy a pint in the sunshine or stock up on essentials. Spend the day exploring Walna Scar, or the Coniston Range and the renowned Old Man of Coniston Peak, before ending the day with a pint and a tasty meal in the Blacksmith Arms.

The bustling town of Broughton-In-Furness is home to further amenities, including three pubs, a newsagent, two cafes, a local butchers/grocers, petrol station and a second-hand bookshop. Visit Ulverston, a lively town home to the Laurel and Hardy Museum, Stan Laurel's Birthplace, and the excellent Ulverston Golf Club, where you can put your clubs to the test with spectacular views of Morecambe Bay. Explore the Lakelands further and marvel at the scene in Coniston Water, well-known for its idyllic setting that is ideal for watersport opportunities, including kayaking and canoeing, along with the National Trust Gondola for those who prefer a more leisurely cruise.

With plenty to fill your activity list, a holiday at Brigg House can be as relaxing or exciting as you like.

The small village of Eskdale Green sits amongst beautiful Lakeland countryside and consists of a scattering of cottages, some farm dwellings and a number of outstanding traditional English pubs serving good food. An area relatively unknown to many Lakeland visitors, this great location boasts a skyline dominated by the towering peaks of Scafell - England's highest peak, as well as Great Gable, Hard Knott, Harter Fell and Muncaster Fell, whilst the nearby stunning valleys of Eskdale, Wasdale, Ennerdale and Dunnerdale provide breathtaking and ever-changing scenery to be enjoyed throughout the year. The valley is notable as being one of few major valleys in the Lake District not to have its own lake, although several tarns are perched above the valley sides. Local attractions include Muncaster Castle, the World Owl Centre and the Ravenglass to Eskdale miniature railway, one of the most beautiful train journeys imaginable. With both beautiful Wastwater - the deepest lake in the country and St Olaf's - the smallest church, amongst the many well known landmarks in this awe inspiring and beautiful area also within easy reach, this stunning location will have visitors returning time and time again.
