Wasdale Head, Seascale, CA20

An exciting opportunity to purchase a delightful 2 bed cottage situated in the beautiful hamlet of Greendale in the Wasdale valley. Set on a quiet ‘back lane’ leading from the lake to Gosforth and the coast, the cottage looks across the fields and woods towards the lake and the dramatic Wasdale Screes beyond. 

The accommodation comprises entrance porch, spacious open plan kitchen/dining/living room, with stairs leading to a landing area where there are 2 generous bedrooms and modern three piece bathroom. Externally, there is a car park opposite for use by occupants, together with communal gardens.

Please note this property cannot be used as a permanent residence and it can only be used as a holiday home. The property is currently trading as a very successful holiday letting business, with details of income, expenditure and booking levels available to interested parties. 

Wasdale is the most spectacular and unspoilt corner of the Lake District. The valley, with Wastwater at its heart, is hemmed in by rugged mountains, culminating at Wasdale Head with Pillar, Great Gable, Scafell and Scafell Pike arranged in a ring at the end of the valley. There are plenty of things to do in the area with Muncaster Castle and the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway both just a short drive away. There are two good pubs in Nether Wasdale, and the famous Wasdale Head Inn is four miles away. The nearest shops are in Gosforth, which is a ten minute drive. The entire Lake District is accessible for day trips, and the beaches of the west Cumbrian coast are little more than a quarter of an hour by car.

Mains electricity, communal water supply (from local hillside tarn) and septic tank drainage. Electric night storage heating and partial double glazing installed. Telephone line installed subject to BT regulations. Please note - the mention of any appliances and/or services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.
