At the southern end of Coniston Water, Water Yeat is a small hamlet which remains almost unchanged with bluebells and black Herdwick lambs very much in evidence in spring though the traditional activities of charcoal burning and bobbins has died out.
The barn conversion has exposed beams a wood-burning stove and flagstone floor. The rural location adds to the charm and it is an easy ten minute walk to the Lake Bank Jetty at Coniston Water, ideal for launching a canoe or paddle board, the rural location also means that shops and pubs are a little further away though nearby Lowick lays claim to fame boasting to be the Lake District National Park's oldest pub. Walks from the door are plentiful and the area is ideal for cyclists too, with the Blawith Loop starting just half a mile from the property.
