Wythop Mill, Embleton, Cockermouth, CA13

Sat in a secluded and peaceful dell within the Lake District National Park, on the edge of the popular Lake District village of Wythop Mill, 2 Greystones was formerly part of a historic watermill which was converted into a spacious, three bedroom semi detached house enjoying circa one acre of wonderful gardens and an exceptional level of tranquility. 

The well proportioned, light and airy, accommodation comprises lounge, dining room/second reception room, kitchen, downstairs shower room, two double bedrooms - one en suite, one single bedroom (currently used as study) and a family bathroom.

Externally there is off road parking for three cars comfortably and fantastic wraparound gardens, laid to lawn with slated paved walkways and stocked with a stunning variety of mature trees, perennials and shrubs - a true gardeners paradise and wonderful place to while away the hours. 

Located within the Lake District National Park, Wythop Mill's name is thought to come from the Wyth or Willow tree, many having grown here in the past. Nestled between Ling Fell and Sale Fell in a peaceful village location near the stunning Bassenthwaite Lake, the village is conveniently located approximately mid-way between Keswick and Cockermouth, two market towns offering a vibrant choice of facilities and amenities. Bassenthwaite Lake is part of a wetland nature reserve that attracts a wealth of wildlife, most notable are the ospreys that have been nesting around the lake since a programme to reintroduce them, began in the 1990's. The sailing club is on the north shore and the more recent attraction is the Lakes Distillery which has quickly gained a reputation for its whisky, gin and fine food.

Whilst sympathetic modernisation is now required, this is an amazing opportunity for anyone needing spacious accommodation in an idyllic rural area, and an early inspection is a must to avoid missing out.
