Low Rake, Glenridding, Penrith, CA11

Situated along the historic Low Rake, formerly home to the local mine workers and their families, this charming two bed Lakeland cottage enjoys beautiful views, generous garden and private parking, whilst being well appointed within the Lake District National Park.

This rather special property sits proud, overlooking the foothills of Helvellyn to the front and with views stretching to Ullswater from both the house and garden. Properties like this one are rare to the market, especially with what is offered by number 1. The internal accommodation briefly comprises a generous and welcoming living room, with ample room for dining furniture and a beautiful inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove. The kitchen sits to the rear of the property and benefits from a useful utility/pantry, and a door leading out to the rear. To the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a three piece family bathroom. Externally, to the front of the property is a cobbled pathway, with access to the side garden, which is a superb area, mainly laid to lawn with a patio garden making a truly delightful spot to enjoy alfresco dining with the Lake District National Park as the backdrop. Furthermore, there are three outhouses and private parking offering space for 1 vehicle or 2 smaller cars, with potential scope for further parking with some adjustment to the grass banking which sits within the title.

The property is available with no onward chain and is currently a successful holiday let.
