Thrang View

About this property

Thrang View is a spacious Lakeland bolthole for up to six guests, set in a prime position with sweeping views across the famous Langdale Valley. Sitting right in the heart of Chapel Stile, it’s a gift for walkers, you can wander straight out of the door onto easy valley strolls or head off for something far more demanding in the surrounding fells. Inside, the bungalow is geared entirely towards comfort and those unforgettable views. The light-filled lounge is the sort of place you won’t mind hiding away in when the weather turns, with a generous bay window, French doors, and an inviting open fire to gather round after a long day on the hills.

The dining area sits alongside, ideal for slow breakfasts before setting out or relaxed evenings recounting the day’s adventures. The well-planned kitchen has everything you need to keep everyone fed and happy, while the entrance porch and hall provide no-nonsense space for boots, jackets and all the usual clobber. Three beautifully furnished bedrooms, two doubles and a twin, ensure a restful night’s sleep, with one enjoying its own en-suite complete with a large walk-in shower. There’s also a separate house bathroom and an additional WC for convenience. Step outside and the appeal only grows, the neatly kept, enclosed garden is made for soaking up the views, whether you're sitting out with a morning coffee or settling in for al-fresco drinks as the sun dips behind the Pikes.
