Watermillock, Penrith, CA11

A charming cottage, enjoying views of Ullswater and nestled in the delightful Lake District National Park. Boasting well proportioned accommodation including two double bedrooms, this lovely property is one not to be missed.

Horrock Leas forms part of an exclusive three house terrace which in former times, we believe served the nearby mansion. The properties were built around 1910, and have been sensitively constructed and designed in local materials and exhibit traces of the popular Arts and Crafts movement, providing the most appealing accommodation in a stunning location. There are breathtaking rural views with superb glimpses of the lake.

The accommodation has been freshly decorated and briefly comprises kitchen/diner, utility/pantry, living room with open fire, two double bedrooms and a three piece bathroom suite.

Externally, attractive gardens lie to the front of the property, with plenty of areas to enjoy the views of Ullswater. To the rear there is one car parking space and a generous enclosed yard, with undercover store and outhouse.
