The Fellside 
The Fellside is a beautifully designed three-bedroom lodge that makes the most of its surroundings. A split-level roofline and fully glazed front elevation draw in uninterrupted views of the fells, while floor-to-ceiling windows and vaulted ceilings create a bright, open feel to the Scandinavian-inspired interior. The interior is calm and inviting, with a mix of whitewashed wood, muted tones, and natural textures giving the space an easy, lived-in warmth. 

The open-plan living area brings together a sleek, fully fitted kitchen, a spacious dining area, and a lounge with a wood burner set within an inglenook fireplace. Streamlined cabinetry houses high-spec Bosch appliances and a Quooker hot tap, creating a kitchen that is as practical as it is well-finished. 

The principal bedroom includes an en-suite with Hansgrohe fittings and a rainfall shower, while two additional bedrooms offer flexible accommodation. One has bespoke built-in bunk beds, perfect for children or extra guests. A separate bathroom follows the same pared-back style, fitted with premium fixtures. 

Externally 
A private terrace extends the living space outside, designed for both dining and relaxation. Optional features such as a hot tub, pergola, and outdoor BBQ can be added to make the most of the setting. Encircled by landscaped grounds that merge into the open countryside, The Fellside is built to bring the outdoors in, making the most of its spectacular backdrop.
