Abbott Moss sits majestically above its own lake in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Eden Valley in Cumbria. Approaching this three bedroomed sandstone house via a gated, private lane bordered by dry stone walls, your first glimpse of Abbott Moss will set the scene for your holiday. Recently renovated, the transformation is phenomenal with an explosion of both colour and comfort. With its cool grey tones and fabric blinds, six large picture windows frame the lake and flood the house with light. The wildlife which changes throughout the seasons. There are squashy sofas, comfortable armchairs and a dining table with views across the lake. Eclectic pictures, wallpapers, rugs and fabrics have been chosen with care – each complimenting the other.
Upstairs are 3 bedrooms – the Master has a superking bed. Indian kilims and clever lighting make this room calm, beautiful, and restful. The en-suite has a cast iron bath with waterfall shower, sink and loo. Bedroom two has single beds which zip and link to make a superking. Bedroom three – the Indian Room – has twin beds with embroidered throws, decorative headboards and an antique kilim. The family bathroom with twin sinks and walk in shower are shared between these rooms.
This exceptional home is surrounded by large gardens – your only neighbours are a herd of curious sheep and the occasional pheasant. You will feel very peaceful here. Abbott Moss is the perfect hideaway but with the northern lakes on your doorstep, castles and market towns only a short drive away, you won’t need too venture far. Then it is back to Abbott Moss for its comfort, views and solitude.
We are happy to accept one small and very well behaved dog.
Lazonby is a working Estate and there are pheasant shoots during the winter.
