The property

Ann Tysons House, a delightful cottage steep in local history rests in the heart of Hawkshead, Cumbria, well-positioned within the Lake District National Park. This three-bedroom cottage oozes character and charm, with original beamed ceilings, artex walls, and antique furniture found throughout, whilst mixed with contemporary appliances, offering a wonderful base for a family or group of six friends, looking to enjoy the Lakes. Park up off-road and travel on foot down the delightful, cobbled streets, with the cottage resting in a pretty, yet historic part of the village. Step indoors and be greeted by the welcoming living/dining room, with plenty of seating space upon the leather sofas, a dining table for six guests, and a lovely woodburning stove on offer, enveloped by an original, exposed fireplace; with local artwork dotted throughout, travel back in time to the property’s origins. The kitchen/diner offers a sleek, well-equipped space to prepare meals and enjoy brunch, whilst the rear patio provides a private and enclosed area to dine alfresco in the Cumbria air; be sure to enjoy a fresh morning coffee or a late-night tipple from this space. When the time comes to retire to your three bedrooms, you'll find a super-king-size with en-suite walk-in shower, a double with en-suite walk-in shower, and a twin with basin, all featuring dark, wooden furniture and traditional interiors, the large bed in bedroom one originally belonged to John Ruskin and was purchased by the owners family in 1931 and the item hanging above the staircase was a push chair made for the owners great grandchildren; each bedroom is fitted with a TV, allowing you to catch up on your favourite shows at the end of a long day. Lastly, a shower room with walk-in shower, and a cloakroom/utility with washing machine and tumble dryer complete this wonderful home. Three well behaved dogs are welcome. Begin your stay by exploring the quaint village of Hawkshead; admire the stunning scenery and unique architecture, from the 14th-century Church of St. Michael and All Angels to the Hawkshead Grammar School, the first of its kind in the country. Sample the local delicacies at one of the traditional pubs and boutiques or treat yourself to a sweet treat at one of the unique cafes. Then, make your way towards Ambleside where you can enjoy a variety of activities, from walking and cycling routes, to boat rides and shopping. Ann Tyson lived in this block of property & offered lodgings to the boys who attended the Grammar School, the Wordsworth boys were some of her lodgers, William being one of them.
