Escape to Langton Beck: Your Secluded Eden Valley Cottage Awaits! Imagine this: you wake up in a charming stone cottage nestled amidst rolling green hills. Sunlight streams through the windows, revealing breathtaking views across a babbling brook, a picturesque golf course, and the majestic North Pennine mountains. Welcome to Langton Beck, your perfect getaway for a relaxing self-catering holiday!
The cottage, built in 1939 and still owned by the same family, is tucked away in a peaceful location down a farm track overlooking Hilton Beck and Brackenber Moor. It is just a short drive from the historic market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland. Yet, despite its seclusion, you'll find yourself surrounded by beauty. The property boasts private gardens, perfect for a quiet morning coffee while taking in the fresh country air.
The four-bedroom property is on the ground floor, except for the dormer bedroom, which is a twin with en suite facilities. The extensive lawned gardens, including the fruit trees at the rear, are beautiful and well-maintained, providing a wonderful space to enjoy the outdoors, perhaps for a barbeque or a few G&T's.
Langton Beck is a paradise for those who love exploring the outdoors. Numerous public footpaths crisscross the countryside right from your doorstep, leading you through stunning landscapes. Brackenber Moor, reached by a charming wooden footbridge over the beck, is an attractive area of moorland that, as a traditional common, is open to all. Feeling more ambitious? High Cup Nick, the Coast to Coast Path, and the Pennine Way are all within easy reach for an unforgettable trek. Cyclists will be spoilt for choice exploring quiet country roads with stunning scenery; many routes, including the Pennine Cycleway and Sea to Sea (C2C), pass through the area. To relax, Aqua Sana at Center Parcs Whinfell Forest and Appleby Manor Hotel offer spa packages.
Golf enthusiasts will rejoice! The visitor-friendly Appleby Golf Course is just a stone's throw away, offering a scenic par 68 course and a welcoming clubhouse. For variety, a short drive away is the 18-hole, par-69 Penrith Golf Club or the exceptional value of the family-friendly par-3 Riverside Golf Club at Kirby Stephen. For fishing aficionados, the nearby Eden River provides 14 miles of prime fishing spots (day and weekly tickets available in Appleby or online).
Langton Beck's prime location between the Lakes and the Dales makes it the ideal base for exploring the best of northern England. The Lake District, the North Pennines, and the Westmorland Yorkshire Dales National Park are all within easy reach. So why not skip the hustle and bustle and discover the hidden gem of the Eden Valley?
