Barn End is a recently refurbished family property with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and parking for two cars.
Located on a quiet lane between Barngates and Skelwith Bridge, this cottage provides ample space for a large family or group to spread out and enjoy the view from the cottage or the back garden. Recently fully refurbished to a high standard, the cottage has three good sized bedrooms on the ground floor; a double en-suite, another double and a twin with zip and link options. The large open plan living dining area has views from all sides and is on the first floor. There is also a second bathroom with a bath on this floor. There is also a utility / drying room and plenty of storage for bikes and equipment.
The fully enclosed garden at the back of the house is approx. 12m x 7m with a terraced seating area close to the house.
You can walk up to the Drunken Duck from the cottage, although you will need a torch for your way home. In the the other direction, you can walk to Skelwith Bridge and enjoy the walk up into Langdale via Elterwater, or just stay at Chesters by the River Cafe for lunch or afternoon tea. Barn End is a spacious and comfortable base from which to explore our beautiful region.

Nestled where the River Brathay meets the Little Langdale valley, Skelwith Bridge is a peaceful hamlet surrounded by woodland, riverside paths and spectacular views towards the Langdale Pikes. This quiet spot offers a wonderfully central base, with easy access to the surrounding valleys and lakes, yet away from the busier towns.
Skelwith Bridge is just a short drive from Ambleside along the A593, or you can walk here along scenic riverside paths from Elterwater or Clappersgate. The nearest train station is at Windermere, about 7 miles away, with buses and taxis serving the area.
Popular with walkers, Skelwith Bridge is the starting point for beautiful riverside strolls to Elterwater Tarn or to the impressive Skelwith Force and Colwith Force waterfalls. The area is also home to a popular riverside café and gallery, perfect for a relaxing stop after exploring the trails.
With its idyllic riverside location, easy access to Ambleside, Langdale and beyond, and charming surroundings, Skelwith Bridge is a perfect choice for a quiet escape in the heart of the Lake District.
