Make your way from the town, up the private road through the small hamlet of houses and onto the driveway to the slightly elevated position of the home. An established garden with shrubs, evergreens and bushes stand beyond the low drystone walling that embraces the home and blends it beautifully into the Black Beck Wood, the homes namesake.

A flexible home with good bones stands before you, dressed in the traditional crisp white render and Cumbrian stone edging adorned with greenery - homely, welcoming and filled with potential both inside and out.

Park in front of the home and integral attached garage where you can make your way effortlessly through the front door, flanked by glazing making the entry bright and welcoming.

Neutrally decorated, the ground floor is easy to maintain with sleek flooring extending along the L-shaped corridor that takes you into the centre of the home. Spot the downstairs WC before making your way through the door opposite, conveniently leading you into the large garage. Find a great deal of storage for hobbies and gardening equipment but also a spot that could be converted to give you more living space.

Across the hall is a country kitchen with plenty of upper and lower cabinetry making it easy for you to store plenty of pots, pans and dishes alongside tins and packets. Built-in appliances including a double oven, hob and dishwasher and a breakfast bar adds additional seating for quick morning breakfasts. Adjacent, the utility room makes for a handy space for laundry to be washed and hung up on wet days. On sunny days take the back door into the garden and let it dry in the refreshing Cumbrian air.

Continue through the double doors into a capacious dual purpose room for eating and relaxing. Have family breakfasts at the dining table, a sunny spot set in front of the glazed double doors capturing the garden views. A grand sandstone fireplace, to the far end, is a beautiful focal point to the relaxing living area where you can sink into the sumptuous sofas beneath the long window, for quiet family nights in.

Take the two steps down from the French doors and onto the patio - a beautiful extension to the home where plenty of parties will be had. It also allows children and pets to escape into the garden forging a cohesivity between outside and in.

Gatherings will be effortless with guests mingling between the two living spaces, a serving hatch adding an additional interconnection between the two spaces.

Return to the hallway and ascend the stairs to the first floor. Note the understairs storage ideal for shoes and boots.

Upstairs discover 4 good-sized double bedrooms, all able to hold wardrobes, bedside tables, and desks or dressing tables. One of the beautiful features of Black Beck Cottage is the outlook from each window - something that becomes even more apparent upstairs. The tranquil woodland and garden views make waking up every day seem like you are in the middle of a countryside setting, yet you are in such close proximity to amenities - it really is the perfect setting.

Both the family bathroom and the en-suite of the master room are capacious sanctuaries that are complete with a three piece suites. Get the children to bed and sink into the large tub, with overhead shower, for a long soak in your en-suite - idyllic.

With so much potential, Black Beck Cottage presents a fantastic opportunity in the heart of the Lake District National Park to create a dream family home but it is also the ideal home away from home or holiday let where weekends and summers can be spent having adventures on the lake, walking the fells.
