18th century house with traditional features, 100 yds from sandy beach, sea views

Bridge House is in the centre of the popular coastal village of Allonby on the edge of the Lake District. Famous for its sunsets across the Solway Firth and 5 miles of safe, sandy, Blue Flag beaches. This charming character property is over 250 years old, with original exposed beams, and sea views. Amongst the cobbled squares and by-ways are two pubs, both serving excellent food. The Ship Inn is where Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins stayed. There is also a restaurant and a cafe where all the food is home-made. Two antique and bric-a-brac shops where you can browse. A Post Office and Newsagent. Plus a shop where the owners make their own mouth-watering icecream. At the rear of the village is a Leisure Centre, with swimming pool, sauna, solarium, pool tables and a lounge bar serving food, and providing evening entertainment. The mountains and lakes of the Lake District are only a short drive away, so however you choose to spend your holiday, the Western Lake District has everything to suit all ages and tastes, with a wealth of things to do and see all year round.
