Low Water End has almost magical properties! Hidden
away in the heart of Arthur Ransome country with enough
grounds for children to play all day without complaining,
with lake frontage, boats, a slipway and not a computer
game, TV or video in sight.
Coniston Water is a peaceful lake. Readers of ‘Swallows
and Amazons’ will recognise many of the settings
in the story: the secret harbour on ‘Wild Cat’
island, ‘Octopus’ lagoon and so on. Click

details about Coniston Water
Approximately 360 years ago a cottage was built on
the western shore at the southern end of Coniston
Water. For many years it was a farm or part of one.
(A local farmer is reputed to have kept his horse
in what is now the Old
Cottage!) It still boast the original stone staircase
to the upper floor and low traditional beams.
What is now known as 'Low Water End'
is a property with two self catering holiday cottages
with 200 yards of lake frontage, at the southern end
of Coniston Water in the beautiful Lake District.
It covers approximately 3 acres of land, part wood,
part marsh, part lawn, between the road and the lake
shore. It is unspoilt and very secluded. It was eventually
brought in 1953 by the grandparents of the current
owners.
