Make your way down the leafy country lane, enclosed by woodland, and pull up where there is parking for four cars beneath an ancient beech tree.
The acre of woodland to the left, filled with colour and ever-changing with the seasons, along with a meandering stream running through it, sets the scene to this picture postcard setting.
Follow the path over the stone bridge that spans the stream, and you'll catch a glimpse of the whitewash façade of Bluebell Wood Cottage, peeking out from behind its expansive front garden and mature trees.
Enter the stone porch, where there is ample room to take off jackets and a seating area to pull off boots, before pushing open the original front door. With striking, iron studwork and bullseye glass whispering of the ancient heritage to the home, the door opens to reveal a welcoming and inviting space.
Daylight streams in from the window that showcases the beautiful scenes of the garden, with inset spotlights adding to the illumination. Take a seat at the desk to enjoy the view, before opening the laptop or pages of your book where the only distraction is the wildlife outside.
Exposed beams overhead add character and warmth, whilst underfoot, the solid original floor is cosily carpeted. Crackling away centre stage is a Lakeland stone open fireplace. Set within an impressive Lakeland stone surround, a handy alcove is within reach, ideal for storing logs. Snuggle up on the sofa beneath the open staircase for movie nights basking in the warmth, or invite friends over for get-togethers where there is space enough for all.
Beautifully adaptable and easily lending itself to any occasion, this is a space that is as flexible as you are.
Flow through into the kitchen. Classically country in style, with white cabinetry lining the walls beneath the countertops offering ample storage space. Appliances include a freestanding fridge freezer, microwave and a Range cooker beneath a row of inset spotlights, ready to cook up delicious treats and feasts.
Take a seat at the dining table and gaze out of the window, lined with Lakeland slate sills that add to the rustic charm, and enjoy leisurely meals where the hustle and bustle of everyday life is replaced by the serene views and peaceful atmosphere.
Peep into the attached utility room, a space filled with possibilities, before retracing your steps back through the living area and ascending the staircase to the upper floor.
Warmly carpeted and so very inviting, the expansive bedroom is brimming with the captivating country charm that is throughout Bluebell Wood Cottage. The vaulted ceiling showcases thick, treacle-toned beams, highlighted by pristine whitewashed walls.
The low windows, lined with Lakeland slate, frame the picturesque landscape, perfectly capturing the views of the rolling fells and woodland.
Make your way into the en-suite, contemporary in design with tiled walls under the exposed beams, harmoniously blending the rustic appeal of the home with modern comforts. Comprising a large walk-in shower, washbasin, and WC, enjoy a refreshing and relaxing spritz in the shower as you begin or end your day.
Garden and Grounds
Pull on your boots and adventuring cloak and step outside to explore the glorious grounds surrounding Bluebell Cottage.
To the front, lies the expansive lawn intersected by a path. In one direction discover the large stone shed and a bridge leading across the stream and into the wood. Or take the path across the water via a slab of Lakeland stone, returning to the parking area and the lane.
Children and dogs will love exploring the acre of woodland belonging to Bluebell Cottage. A true playground for nature, keep your eyes peeled for birds, deer, rabbits, squirrels and more!
Wend your way along the stream, running through the woodland trails, before it opens up to a width of around 12 feet where it becomes a cascade of waterfalls. In spring, spy the ducklings and moorhens bobbing along.
At Christmas time, gather holly in the woodland before decorating the beams of Bluebell Cottage for an afternoon of traditional festive fun.
Outside, a clever lighting system allows all the exterior lighting of Bluebell Cottage to be scene set. Choose your own selection from LED floodlights at the front, to LED lighting on the stone shed illuminating the bridge and the parking area by the woodland.
There is also lighting by the stone bridge and the wooden bridge illuminating the whole river at night time, should you wish. With an external power supply already in place, the opportunity is there to power electric gates or street lights for additional security.
Of course, the beauty of Bluebell Cottage is just how exceptionally private it is!
