2 bedroom lodge

Location/Description: This lodge really is a delight. Presented to a high standard with modern fixtures and fittings with tasteful neutral décor throughout internally. The exceptionally private and tranquil, well tended outside space is a huge bonus!
The metal entrance gate in the stone wall feels like entering The Secret Garden!
With mature hedges and trees to two sides and impressive high stone walls to the side and rear, the property is not at all overlooked, infact, easy to miss! The lodges (apart from their own private gardens) also enjoy and benefit from a communal field to the side, ideal for dog exercise or children's games.
Aynsome Manor Park is highly regarded and sought after with the delightful village of Cartmel within walking distance. The park is peaceful and quiet and beautifully maintained with an attractive central pond complete with ducks, rumoured to have been the fishing pond for the monks from Cartmel Priory!
The mediaeval and picturesque village of Cartmel boasts the stunning 12th Century Priory and Gatehouse, famous, exclusive eatery L'Enclume, Pubs/Restaurants, Steeplechase race meetings and of course the famous sticky toffee pudding!
To reach the property, proceed out of the village in the direction of Newby Bridge. Take the first left (signposted Aynsome), follow the road past the Aynsome Manor Hotel and take the first right through the West gate into Aynsome Manor Park. The parking space for Bracken Lodge is on the left at the head of the parking area (signed No. 24). The stone steps to the side and rear lead to the metal gate (right) and to the lodge.
