A peaceful relaxing getaway, Halsteads sits in a quiet village in the Southern Lake District close to the coast as well as the fells, plenty of local short walks.

With a stunning panoramic view to the fells, it makes the perfect base for a family holiday. Easy to get to by road & rail, a short journey to Ulverston, Coniston, Eskdale and the picturesque Duddon valley.

Private bungalow & grounds with 3 bedrooms and 2 lounges, fully equiped country style kitchen/diner. A true home-from-home.

Three bedrooms - one king size, one double and one twin.
A family bathroom with bath, washbasin, toilet and large shower.
A separate cloakroom toilet.
A large Kitchen/Diner, country style, fully equipped with all appliances, utensils and cookware.

From the house there are spectacular views over Kirby Pool, the Duddon Estuary and Mosses. Over thirty tops are visible including Coniston Old Man, Stickle Pike, Black Coombe and Scafell. It has a pastoral setting often with sheep in the meadows behind.

Guest access
Key access is via a lockbox - so you can "check-in" anytime after 4pm (earlier arrival may be possible depending on our previous bookings that day)

You will have full access to the house & garden but not the garage/greenhouse.

Other things to note
Halsteads is a "true" bungalow with all facilities on the same level inside the house, internal doorways are a standard 2ft 6" width. There is a private driveway with ample parking for several cars and plenty of width for car doors to be fully opened and people assisted into or out of a vehicle.

From the driveway to the front door there is a series of nine steps with handrail on one side. However access from the driveway to the backdoor only involves three shallow steps at the front of the house and two (with handrail) by the back door as shown in the following photographs.

Neighborhood highlights

Kirkby-in-Furness is a quiet rural location away from the main tourist hotspots of the Lake District. Local businesses include two pubs, a cafe (open Sun-Tue), and village general shop.

It is an ideal location to explore the Furness Peninsular, Western Lakes & Duddon valley.

It is only 15 minutes away from the festival market town of Ulverston, 20 minutes from Coniston or Barrow and 45 minutes from the Central Lakes. Travel to Halsteads is easy even in peak holiday season; the majority of the route on trunk roads through lovely scenery after leaving the motorway.
