Description
Long Yocking Cottage is a rare and characterful home in one of the most picturesque corners of the western Lake District. Built from local granite with a traditional Lakeland slate roof, this charming detached residence offers a wonderful blend of history, tranquillity, and breathtaking scenery. Tucked away at the bottom of Randlehow, it enjoys an idyllic setting with uninterrupted views in all directions.
The accommodation is beautifully arranged to make the most of its unique surroundings. A welcoming snug opens into a large reception room, featuring exposed stonework and boasting captivating views over the gardens and the passing steam railway, there is also a shower room located just off the snug, ideal perhaps for a dependent relative. Steps lead up to a fully fitted kitchen, compact yet thoughtfully designed, which flows into a second reception room with wood burning stove and the same spectacular views. An inner landing leads to two bedrooms and a second bathroom, completing the well appointed living space.
Externally, the property is set within extensive, beautifully landscaped gardens spanning approximately 0.5 acres. Filled with mature trees, vibrant flowers, and shrubs, the outdoor space is a haven for nature lovers. The large patio area provides a perfect spot for outdoor dining while watching the La’al Ratty steam train chug by, adding a sense of nostalgic charm to the setting. Additionally, the property benefits from a parking area for two vehicles, with the potential to add a garage or carport if desired (STPP).
Rarely does a property with such an incredible setting and unique charm come to market. Whether you are seeking a peaceful countryside retreat, a distinctive full time home, or an exceptional holiday let investment, Long Yocking Cottage is a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity.
