    Beatrix Potter lived and wrote many of her famous children's stories in this delightful farmhouse. The house has been kept exactly as she left it and you'll see many of her beloved 'treasures' on display. The house, gardens and village were used as models for illustrations in six of her books.

    A real fire burns at Townend most days, adding to the homely appeal of this classic Lakeland home. The house is an exceptional example of Lake District vernacular architecture and contains, among other things, fascinating domestic implements from the past.
