Location The splendid Neaum Crag Estate includes a mix of freehold holiday lodges & apartments set in eighteen acres of mature Lake District woodland. Located on a South-facing hillside above Skelwith Bridge, at the entrance to the Langdale Valley, Neaum Crag Estate's central location really does make it the perfect base from where to explore the beauty of the Lake District.
Property Overview Located just a short distance from beautiful Loughrigg Tarn, Neaum Crag has proved to be a very popular, highly regarded and wonderfully relaxing location ever since its conception in the 1980's. Now well established, this unique and peaceful site is full of interest and extends to something in the region of 18 acres (not measured) and includes unobtrusive on-site leisure facilities which incorporate not only a lovely indoor swimming pool but also a sauna, games area and laundry - perfect for all the family whatever the weather.
The woodland also attracts a spectacular array of wildlife including red squirrels, deer and a wonderful variety of birds. There is much to experience by simply strolling around Neaum Crag, but there are also an amazing selection of walks to enjoy directly from the site. Whether you wish to target the high fells, secluded tarns or a range of highly regarded cafes and traditional Lakeland Inns, all are on hand.
Bright Tarn is superbly placed in an elevated position, looking out through the trees to the high fells which form the backdrop to delightful Skelwith Bridge. This particularly cosy and welcoming freehold lodge includes an entrance area perfect for dealing with damp coats, muddy boots and perhaps a soggy dog. The dining kitchen is dual aspect with ample space to both cook and dine, and leads to a similarly bright dual aspect lounge where French doors provide direct access to the gravelled seating area, really bringing the sense of outside in. Ideal for alfresco dining should the weather allow, a morning coffee or a glass of something refreshing as the sun goes down.
There are two bedrooms, the double having a built in wardrobe and dressing table unit, whilst the smaller bedroom is currently in use as a bunk bedded room. The shower room has a three piece suite comprising a Triton shower, wash basin and WC.
There are two car parking spaces, an outside timber store (6'3" x 4'11"), the communal areas around the site and of course those excellent leisure facilities.There is further communal car parking at the top of the site for those who might require it, and just a couple of minutes stroll from this point reveals a scene so spectacular that it was selected as the opening shot for the Miss Potter film.
Each of the chalets within the private estate enjoy the immeasurable rare advantage of being freehold, with each property owner having a share in Neaum Crag Limited, resulting in this much loved site being very well maintained and cared for.
Whilst not able to be a permanent residence, Bright Tarn is perfect as a holiday let or lock up and leave weekend retreat, and is highly recommended for early viewing.
