Flat 4 Tower House

About this property

Flat 4 Tower House places you right in the middle of Cartmel’s storybook streets, where limestone cottages, winding lanes and the gentle hum of village life create a wonderfully inviting backdrop for a couples’ escape. Tucked away on the first floor, this well-presented apartment feels like a calm hideaway above it all, while still keeping the best of the village close at hand. After a day spent wandering, the lounge becomes a great spot to settle in, with an electric fire adding a soft glow on cooler evenings, a Smart TV for easy entertainment, and ample seating to stretch out and relax together.

Mealtimes are simple and fuss-free thanks to the neatly arranged kitchen, well stocked for everything from leisurely breakfasts to cosy dinners in, while the dining area just off the hallway gives you a dedicated place to linger over a glass of wine and plan the next day. The double bedroom offers a restful retreat at the end of the evening, and the bright bathroom, complete with a bath and shower over, rounds off the space with practicality and comfort. Storage heaters throughout ensure the apartment remains welcoming whatever the season. Step outside and you’ll find a table and chairs, ideal for enjoying a quiet coffee or a peaceful pause away from the village bustle.

Cartmel itself is a destination to savour, famed for its food scene, traditional pubs, artisan shops and the handsome Cartmel Priory, whose ancient stonework and peaceful atmosphere are well worth a visit. Ulverston tempts with its lively market town feel, the Laurel and Hardy Museum and panoramic views from Hoad Monument. Windermere invites you onto the water with lake cruises, shoreline strolls and literary charm at the World of Beatrix Potter, while the wider Lake District National Park promises fell walks, quiet tarns, historic houses and unforgettable viewpoints. Flat 4 Tower House offers a welcoming base for soaking up the flavours, scenery and gentle pace of this much-loved corner of Cumbria.

The historic, South Lakeland village of Cartmel is renowned as the prettiest village in the Lake District. The Priory Church, one of the finest ecclesiastical buildings in the north of England, remains the heart of the community with its gatehouse forming the entrance to the village. The village features pretty streamside walks, quaint cobbled streets littered with antique shops, a charming gift shop, welcoming, traditional pubs serving real ale, the nationally acclaimed, Michelin Star awarded L'Enclume restaurant, and the Cartmel Village shop, which sells the famous sticky toffee pudding. Take advantage of excellent walking opportunities amidst beautiful, unspoilt countryside, visit Cartmel Racecourse, Campbell Legend Bluebird Exhibition, Lakeland Motor Museum and Holker Hall with its spectacular gardens, all of which are close by. The quiet seaside retreat of Grange-over-Sands, with its Edwardian buildings and mountain backdrop, is a mere 2 miles away, whilst Windermere, with its panoramic views over England's longest lake, is within a thirty minute drive. A superb holiday destination, at any time of year.
