The gorgeous four-bedroom property is located in Lowgill, between Kendal and Sedbergh, and is surrounded by stunning views.

The picturesque Lake District is close by and is perfectly situated for couples, families and solo adventurers.

The traditional stone dwelling boasts a large living room with a real log-burning fire and a large dining area, wi-fi, a barbecue area, plus a newly-installed hot tub.

Rochdale Online has closely followed Samantha’s journey since April, when we broke the news of her desperate race to raise £150,000 for lifesaving neurosurgery after her brain and spinal cord were being crushed under the weight of her own skull.

Following two operations in Washington with a leading surgeon over the summer, psychotherapist Samantha, 31, revealed the surgeries failed to stop her neck from dislocating, and she now requires a third operation which will further restrict her movement, estimated to cost in the region of £100,000.

This is on top of a further £50,000 to cover the costs of the most recent operation, as unlike the UK, the costs of surgery stateside means a bill of tens of thousands of dollars is racked up.
