Description Wonderfully adaptable and beautifully placed, this detached home is an absolute delight. Currently utilised as a self-contained one bedroomed apartment on the ground floor, and private spacious three bedroomed accommodation above.

This versatile delightful home with stunning views is as perfect as a permanent residence as it is a holiday home or let, with all that gorgeous Grasmere has to offer just a stone's throw away.

With space in which to work from home, as well as having a garage plus driveway parking and private gardens, an impressive array of fells both on view and within reach on foot, not to mention all of the delights of Grasmere itself virtually on the doorstep, this is not one to miss.

 

Location Famous the world over for its connections with William Wordsworth, Grasmere is a truly beautiful village surrounded by stunning scenery and being well catered for by a wide variety of cafes, restaurants, shops and traditional Lakeland inns which are all immediately on hand. The high fells which surround the village, and indeed the lake shore are all accessible on foot quite literally from the doorstep.  

Property Overview Fellcroft and Garden Flat really are something special. A welcoming property now in need of a little updating, it has the potential to be a wonderful family home, a lock up and leave weekend retreat, or a rather stunning holiday let.

They say that it is all about location at the end of the day, so let's start there. If you are looking for peace and quiet and the feeling that you are miles from the stresses of daily life, then this setting on the outskirts of beautiful Grasmere is for you. The property offers views of some of the most dramatic scenery in the Lake District. However, all you need to do to visit the centre of Grasmere is simply close the door and stroll down to the village. From anywhere at the property, indoors or out, you will be hard pressed to believe such an idyllic peaceful home can be so close to everything this popular Lakeland village has to offer - but it is.

This is a home which will undoubtedly win the heart of anyone who visits.

What about the accommodation? Beginning with Fellcroft, the entrance hallway has ample space for coats, boots etc and leads on to a lounge with stunning views, a separate dining room, and a kitchen. There is a bathroom and a spacious double bedroom conveniently on this level, whilst upstairs is a further double bedroom, a study (or further bedroom) and a shower room.

Garden Flat is independently accessed either through the external stable door which leads into the kitchen, or via the sliding doors directly into the lounge. Comprising the living room, a kitchen, bedroom and shower room, this is a perfect self-contained property.

The gardens are quite enchanting with several seating areas to take in those superb views. A tiered lawn enjoys high levels of privacy creating a wonderfully safe environment for children to play in, there is a babbling brook, and it is a real haven for wildlife. There is a garage with pedestrian access to Fellcroft and further car parking provision on the private drive.

Whether you're looking to change the property into one lovely home, or for a home with an annex for a relative, or for a home with a self-contained holiday let apartment as it currently is, Fellcroft and Garden Flat offer great flexibility. A peaceful location with fell walks in all directions right on the doorstep and breathtaking views. Do not miss out!
