Situated in the charming town of Sedbergh, Cumbria, this penthouse apartment offers an ideal retreat for two, with a wealth of activities right at its doorstep. Nature enthusiasts can explore the breathtaking Cautley Spout, England's highest waterfall, and ascend to the Calf, the highest peak in the Howgills, both located just four miles away. For a more leisurely experience, the Dales Way trail runs through Sedbergh, providing a scenic walk along the River Rawthey towards the Pepperpot, which is just one mile from the apartment. Visitors are also encouraged to wander the quaint streets of Sedbergh, famously known as England's Book Town, where numerous bookshops offer treasures waiting to be discovered.
Beyond the immediate attractions, the area boasts remarkable sites such as White Scar Cave, located 18.5 miles away, and the stunning lakeside scenery of Windermere, which is 19.5 miles from Sedbergh. The penthouse itself is accessed through a shared entrance, leading to a staircase that ascends to the second floor. Here, guests are welcomed by an impressive open-plan living area adorned with double-height ceilings, exposed beams, and wooden floors, all complemented by magnificent views. The modern kitchen is well-equipped with an electric oven, induction hobs, microwave, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher, making it easy to prepare meals together, while the dining table provides ample space for enjoying evening meals.
The apartment features a bright and airy king-size bedroom, complete with above-bed storage, generous hanging space, and a cozy window seat that allows guests to soak in the views. A compact shower room offers a refreshing start to the day with its invigorating shower and convenient storage for personal items. Additionally, a steep loft-style ladder leads to a mezzanine level, which is separated from the main living space by a glass door, creating a perfect retreat for moments of solitude or relaxation.
Due to its central location, the property does not include a garden; however, on-road parking is available on nearby streets, as well as in a pay-and-display car park close to the apartment.
