Ski slope roof!

This is quite a strange roof…..a really unusual slope there.
Right by the side of Coniston Water, it is used as a launch place for the Gondola steam yacht. It was moored right beside this house. You can actually just see it there.
I expect the chap who sails it lives there.

Wow what a player England have in George Ford…..he’s almost won the rugby games on his own!!

Quite an oriental look to that roof !

Ooh yes, very unusual

[Sarah Bremner]

Very striking! I expect there's quite a history about it all.

I imagine so too but I couldn’t find anything on Google.

I know that building! We have stayed a few times at Bank Ground Farm, which was Holly Howe in the Swallows and Amazons books. Coniston is so lovely.

nice story Pat , I like your description of the roof

[Carole Sandford]

Very unusual roof & yes George Ford is rather good. Although we won, there were lots of expletives coming from the lounge along the way 😉
