For a little history associated with the property, Baddeley Mount was originally a detached dwelling built in 1929 by Millicent Baddeley and subsequently converted into two dwellings in 1962. The original name came from the widow of (Millicent) MJB Baddeley (1843-1906) who was famous for writing walking guide books called the "Thorough Guide Series" and locally for writing "The English Lake District" first published in 1880. Although obviously never occupied by Mr Baddeley as he had passed away, it was occupied by his widow for many years and has links to Baddeley Clock on the junction of Lake Road and New Road in Windermere which was built in 1907 as a memorial to Mountford John Byrole Baddeley.

Baddeley Cottage offers a unique opportunity to own a house in a quiet location, yet close to amenities and in the heart of the Lake District. Don't miss your chance to make Baddeley Cottage your own.
