Converted Former Coach House in Contemporary Style
Located in Georgian Market Town Close to Coniston and Windermere Lakes
Sleeps 3/5 - 1 bedroom and Double Sofa bed
|
|
The coach house is tucked away off a lane next to a former church - the church tower is at the bottom of the driveway. The coach house is a traditionally built slate building that has been restored internally as a luxurious contemporary house, whilst maintaining the old ships' timbers and stone walls. There is a garage and entrance door on the ground floor, with an entrance hall and beechwood stairs leading to the main living area. The coach house is within a couple of hundred yards of local shops and pubs, or turning in the other direction, you can walk through lanes and footpaths to the foot of Hoad Hill, a quarter of a mile away.

Guest comments
'"Just to let you know that we had a great time in Moss Tarn which is a lovely property, beautifully renovated and has a very homely atmosphere. We would recommend it without hesitation. We also found Ulverston very pleasant and had a very enjoyable time exploring the surrounding area."
"What a superb location and appartment Moss Tarn is, we fell in love with it as soon as we walked in,the galleried bedroom is fabulous and the whole place is stunningly converted. Ulverston itself was a great little town to use as a base for exploring the local area too, away from the busyness of some of the Lake towns, but within easy reach of the lakes and fells"
"We had great holiday and loved your coach house. It was comfortable and tasteful, a real pleasure to come back to after along walk in the beautiful countryside.(Many thanks for all your helpful instructions and informative books on the area which all contributed to our holiday"

About the owner
I'm originally from the Furness area and return fairly frequently for the purposes of kith and kin, and because my own family love the area.
Year purchased: 2000
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
My wife and I lived in Ulverston for a number of years, moving away for work reasons. I love the quirkiness of Ulverston, its people, its pubs, its down to earth nature embedded in such beauty - between the Furness fells, the lakes and Morecombe Bay. The coach house was a ruin when I acquired it - it dates from the 1750's and has recycled ships' timbers in the roof beams. It originally stabled horses for what was the presbytery to the church. This is now the Oddfellows hall whose tower sits in the drive to the coach house.
Unique benefits of the property
Ulverston sets it's store out as the Festival Town, and there are a great number of these - the highlights for me being the Dickensian Festival, the Charter fortnight culminating in the lamp procession, and the walking festival - Ulverston is the start of the Cumbrian Way. The Laurel and Hardy Museum, the Buddhist monastery and the Hoad monument lighthouse add to the character of the town, with its ginnels and cobbles, and excellent pubs. Moss Tarn is tucked away down a lane just outside the central area of town. Its kitted out as a luxurious retreat from the weather. Its only 8.5 miles to Newby Bridge on Windermere, 10 miles to Coniston Water, and a walk down Ulverston Canal to a breathtaking view of Morecombe Bay.
