Harbourside House is in a little known location on the Southwest coast of
Cumbria on the outskirts of the Lake District National Park.
The house is
one of a row of terraced cottages overlooking the River Lazy as it joins
the sea and has been totally refurbished including the addition of a first
floor conservatory so the changing view can be enjoyed whatever the
weather.
It is a place to relax, walk from, or use as a base for exploring
the coastal or mountainous areas with it's activities and views to suit all.
The house is on three levels with bedrooms on ground and top floors.
The middle floor is totally open plan living with conservatory, lounge, dining area and kitchen.
The kitchen area has a large table top combo oven and a second small microwave oven.
In the draws you will find a slow cooker (great for days out) and a halogen oven option !
Whilst refurbishing we took the opportunity of further insulating the walls making the gas central heating very efficient so you can keep really cosy when it's cold outside making it suitable for year round breaks.
The village has a convenience store, post office, cash point, pubs and a
fish and chip shop and a very popular cafe by the beach.
In the Marina
there is a bar and waterski facility and a walk further on and up there is
a new bar and pizzaria with good views.
Most of the Marina is now a RSPB bird reserve and Hodbarrow Nature reserve and makes a lovely walk.
Millom is a town just over 1 mile away with a supermarket, banks, fuel station, a museum and cafes, restaurants and take-aways.
Walking from the house, it is just 5 minutes to the sand dunes and sandy beach which is part of the long distance Cumbrian Way path.
Just 30-40 minutes drive will take you the mountains of the Lake District or to
Muncaster Castle with its Birds of Prey Centre or to Ravensglass for the
stunning steam train trip to Boot.
The whole of the Lake District is
waiting to be explored.
