Brief Résumé
A fine and substantial end of terrace, formally two houses and Mining Cottages for Honister, with an abundance of character occupying what must be one of the most beautiful locations in the Lake District, enjoying glorious views. Spacious and versatile four-bedroom family accommodation.
Description
Dating back to the mid-18th century, Craggfoot occupies a fantastic location on the edge of the charming village of Buttermere, thus commanding truly stunning views across the valley towards the majestic fells that surround it.
Currently the property comprises; two separate reception rooms with open fires, Breakfast Room, Kitchen with Pantry, Rear Hallway, Shower Room, large Living Room extension, Rear Vestibule and Utility Room. To the first floor are four bedrooms with an en-suite facility to bedroom one. Outside, the property is set in beautiful gardens and grounds and are bordered by open fields and public footpath. To the left-hand side of the property is layed mostly to lawn garden, taking in the stunning Lakeland Fells views.
There are two external outbuildings to the rear of the property.
The property maintains many original features but does require updating which is reflected in the more than realistic asking price.
Buttermere sits in between Buttermere Lake and Crummock Water, two of the most beautiful stretches of water in the country. The village, for its size, has a surprising number of amenities including a pub, a hotel and restaurant, a cafe and ice-cream parlour. The village is an ideal base for exploring this most lovely part of the world, particularly for fell walkers wanting to explore the high and low fells that surround the village.
Buttermere is on the western side of the central Lake District. The two market towns of Cockermouth and Keswick are within easy reach of Buttermere. Borrowdale is just over the nearby Honister pass and immediately above the village is the road leading over the Newlands Pass into the Newlands Valley. Junction 40 of the M6 and Penrith are easily reached via the A66 road in about 45 minutes by car. Buttermere is served by the Honister Rambler bus route.
