Description
Looking For An Inspiring Coastal Retreat Or A Holiday Let That Practically Sells Itself? This recently renovated blue plaque cottage oozes creative soul and artistic history - ideal for anyone wanting something that stands out and tells a brilliant story
Once home to renowned Cumbrian artist Percy Kelly, Glen Cottage isn’t just a place to stay – it’s a chance to own a piece of Allonby’s rich cultural past.
Located right in the heart of this charming coastal village, just moments from the sea, this two-bedroom property offers a truly unique living experience for art-lovers, heritage seekers, or savvy Airbnb investors looking for a standout holiday let.
Step inside and you’re greeted by a world of character – from the stone-flagged floors underfoot with underfloor heating to the exposed beams and the striking stone fireplace, complete with stove set in a traditional inglenook.
It’s a space that instantly invites you to slow down, soak in the atmosphere, and feel the creative energy of its former owner.
The kitchen/diner, Percy Kelly's original art studio where he created a lot of his original artwork, is beautifully updated, blending modern convenience with timeless appeal – integrated oven and hob, clean lines, and plenty of room for relaxed meals or planning your next creative project.
You’ll also find a handy utility room (with a w/c) and a separate shower room on the ground floor – perfect for rinsing off after a bracing walk along the nearby coast.
Upstairs, the double bedroom features an exposed stone wall that adds warmth and texture, while the second bedroom offers a cosy spot for guests or an ideal home studio space.
There’s also room for a small bathroom with more beautiful exposed beams - just make sure you don’t bump your head!
If you’re looking for a weekend retreat or hassle free holiday let there’s no garden to worry about and no parking hassles to deal with – just easy, low-maintenance living with everything you need right on your doorstep.
