Sitting in an elevated position above overlooking Coniston village, the lake and fells beyond is the delightful Hilltop.
If you're coming to the Lake District to enjoy the views, then you simply cannot overlook this perfectly positioned home. Offering unrivalled breath-taking panoramic vistas, across of Coniston Water, the Yewdale fells and Grizedale Forest beyond. You could quite easily spend your time wallowing in the view.
Views aside, Hilltop also enjoys the very best of both worlds.
