Description Dating back to the early nineteenth century this characterful Lakeland cottage, thought to have originally been an inn, is wonderfully placed close to Grasmere with a whole host of wonderful walks from the doorstep, this attractive two double bedroomed cottage with fell views is simply perfect.

Upon entering the cottage, the stable door sets the scene for the rest of the house, leading into an entrance porch where wet coats and muddy boots can be left, before settling in to the cosy light and airy dual aspect kitchen beyond. Bursting with character having exposed beams and a slate flagged floor (including quirky ceramic tile inserts), plumbing provision for a washer/dryer and charming timber wall and base units with a worktop incorporating a Twyfords Belfast style sink with antique brass mixer tap over.

The sitting room is warm and welcoming, perfect for relaxing with friends and family, having a Broseley Serrano Multifuel stove set upon a slate hearth within an alcove, a wide timber window seat, and more of those characterful exposed beams. The bathroom is on this floor and comprises a panel bath with shower over, just the job for soaking away the aches and pains after a hard day on the high fells, a corner wash hand basin set above a useful cupboard, and a WC.

Stairs from the sitting room lead to a landing and the two spacious double bedrooms. Bedroom one is wonderfully light being dual aspect and further supplemented by a Velux set in the vaulted ceiling, with exposed beams and splendid fell views of Loughrigg enjoyed from the window. The second double bedroom is currently in use as a twin and also has those fabulous fell views. In addition there is an integrated wardrobe with further access to the tucked away loft access - a hidden bonus.

Outside is a south facing courtyard ideal for that morning coffee or perhaps a glass of something cool at the end of the day. A car can be parked here, or in front of the separate detached garage which has power and light points complete with a workpit for those who like to tinker with their cars.

This traditional Lakeland cottage is sure to attract a lot of attention - don't miss out!

Take a look at the glowing reviews...

'The cottage was absolutely gorgeous, the very picture of the quaint little British cottage! well furnished and equipped + with a stunning view from the master bedroom that makes for memorable mornings. Exceptionally well situated while it lays outside of the centre per se, Grasmere was easily accessible by foot. We had a very lovely stay and would come back with no hesitation.'

"10 out of 10 for everything. We've stayed many places in the lakes but this property tops them all, we were short of nothing and the front bedroom view was amazing, this is a cottage that we will try to book again."

"Great location, can go for walks from the cottage but easy road access for other areas of The Lake District. Cottage has no garden but is a very comfortable place to stay, cosy, well equipped and characterful. Its part of a development of converted farm buildings but peaceful and with good parking. Nice view from upstairs bedroom over the hills above Grasmere..Pleasant footpath walk into Grasmere."
