Description
OVERVIEW
Being one of the oldest properties in the pretty hamlet of The Row, Pear Tree Cottage is an exciting opportunity to purchase a slice of Lakeland history. The charming exterior with white painted walls and roses around the door sets the scene for the wealth of character features internally. The lounge has a period cast iron range, now fitted with a woodburner and there is a cottage style kitchen diner. An extension has been added at the side and houses a handy utility room, the bathroom and a rear porch. On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a large landing area which could offer scope for a third bedroom or study. There are garden spaces to the front and rear and lovely views over the surrounding countryside. The current owners have been sympathetic to the age of the property, decorating in neutral tones to enhance the traditional features.
LOCATION
Located to the western side of the Lyth Valley on the slopes of Whitbarrow Scar, The Row is a small hamlet of just over 30 properties. Set within the Parish of Crosthwaite and Lyth, there is a primary school in Crosthwaite rated Ofsted Outstanding and there is a strong community spirit with a vibrant village hall, bowling club, tennis courts and numerous excellent pubs and restaurants nearby. The Landowners of Crosthwaite and Lyth is a local charity owning approximately 600 acres of land and mixed woodland with residents of the parish being able to acquire woodland to manage. The rural location offers the best of both worlds, open countryside is on the doorstep, yet Kendal, Oxenholme Mainline Station and the M6 motorway can all be easily reached by car.
