Town Head Farm;Orchard View


Bursting with character and originality, these two delightful properties have been immaculately converted from a mellow stone barn, earning a place as one of the finalists for 'Northern Cottage of the Year'. Very comfortably furnished, the cottages have a light and airy feel with minstrel gallery bedrooms, original timbers and beams, and polished wood floors with rugs throughout. Nestling peacefully in their own grassed paddock and orchard, the traditional village pub is just a 5 minute walk, they command spectacular views of the fells and countryside in this beautiful location in the Eden Valley between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. There are wonderful walks from the door including the unique limestone pavement, just mile away, and Rutter Falls 1 mile. Appleby (5 miles), the old county town of Westmorland with its meandering river, cobbled streets, and castle overlooking the town, holds its famous gypsy horse fair in June and also offers a Jazz Festival, award winning pubs and restaurants, and a swimming pool. Tennis, golf, cycle hire, coarse fishing and horse riding are also available locally. Town Head Farm is a superb base for exploring many scenic and historic attractions including the Pennine Way, Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, the Roman Wall, N.T. properties, ancient stone circles, Rheged, Wetheriggs Pottery and the renowned Village Bakery. Here, there is something for everyone to enjoy, either on the doorstep or a short ride away, be it in the car or on the famous CarlisleSettle Railway.
