Approached via a rough farm track and surrounded by farmer's fields, Tarn Head is a rural cottage with a contemporary, two storey extension, eco wood burning stove and a large, sunny garden on the edge of Haverigg Village - Cumbria's best kept secret. Of appeal to walkers, cyclists and nature lovers, it is only a 5 minute drive or cycle, or a 10 minute walk, into the village and then onto the coast with beautiful sandy beaches, sand dunes and fabulous views of the Lake District fells. This is a traditional Cumbrian farm cottage located in a small hamlet of six cottages on the edge of the village of Haverigg. The cottage has been enlarged with a contemporary, two-storey extension and an open plan kitchen and mezzanine, to create family-sized accommodation with different functional spaces suited to families, couples and groups of friends. The mezzanine has a light, airy space overlooking the dunes that can be used for relaxing or home working. The lounge has a newly installed, eco-friendly wood burning stove. There is a large, sunny, south-facing garden with well-stocked borders, a vegetable garden and a verandah with table and chairs. Please note that the cottage is accessed via a short, but rough farm track with large potholes that sometimes fill with rainwater. They can be safely navigated simply by driving slowly, but please take care. The location is particularly suited to people who like walking, cycling, birdwatching and the general outdoors. It is the family's second home and not a commercial let - which is reflected in the lower rental price. Nor is it a chocolate box cottage like you might get in the Cotwolds!. This is agricultural country with a working farm close by and livesotck grazing in the surrounding fields. We love it and think this is part of its charm but please bear this in mind if you are thinking of booking. There is free wifi and two smart TVs with internet-based streaming channels and platforms (log in needed for Netflix etc.). The cottage is undergoing a gradual upgrade and refurbishment as the difficulties of sourcing materials gradually ease, but there is work still to be done in the utility room for example.
