Description

Brief Résumé

Bridge House is a beautiful two/three bedroom cottage full of character and charm with cottage garden and stunning views. Situated in the heart of the popular village of Braithwaite this cottage is not one to be missed.

Description

Bridge House offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a slice of history set in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Dated Circa 1760, the property has a blend of character and charm mixed with modern living. Located to the side of the stone bridge over the beck, the property is central to the local village shop, pubs and café. Braithwaite gives easy access to Whinlatter forest and Keswick with a bus service from the village for you to explore all the Lakes have to offer.

Bridge House is beautifully presented and has the quintessential cottage look and feel. As you approach the property a side gate gives access to the garden. The main entrance is to the front entering into the kitchen, a fantastic space with plenty of wall and base units with granite worktops. An AGA is set in to recess as well as all modern integrated appliances. Just off the kitchen is a very useful utility room with separate WC. An opening from the kitchen gives access to the hallway with room for coats, boots and shoes with a staircase to the first floor and a door to the porch and garden. To the left is a comfortable and cosy sitting room with a window looking to Barrow Fell and The Kinn and a further circular bay window looks to the village. This room has the benefit of a multi fuel stove with stone surround, brick inlay and marble hearth. Returning to the hallway, a door enters the dining room, a lovely room with a window looking to the Lakeland fells, display recess in the chimney breast and able to accommodate a large dining table and chairs. From the dining room, an opening takes you back to the kitchen.

The staircase from the main hallway takes you to the first floor where you are greeted with the most magnificent further reception room with two windows looking to the surrounding fells and three large Velux windows letting in an abundance of natural light. This room is a true gem of the cottage as it is extremely versatile in its use. From here you can access the master bedroom, a double with views and built in cupboards. A door takes you to an ensuite which is a jack and jill bathroom with bath and shower attachment. Across the landing is bedroom two, a double bedroom with views of the Skiddaw mountain range, this room also has an ensuite which is a jack and jill shower room with large walk in shower.

To the front of the property there is access across a courtyard and round to the side of the house. By the front door is a stone outhouse and coal bunker.

At the rear to the outside is a cottage style garden with mature shrubs and trees. A south facing sun room can also be found here where you can while away the day with a good book whilst taking in the views. There are a few stone steps down to the beck and the whole garden is encased with Lakeland stone walls.
