DESCRIPTION Gawthwaite Cottage is a traditional stone-built cottage, sympathetically extended and tastefully decorated to provide a fabulous home.

A glazed door opens through into the dining room, which provides a fabulous formal dining space which can accommodate a family sized table and six chairs as well as additional furniture. A door off the dining room opens into the lounge, which is a cosy reception space that extends the full depth of the property and is bathed in natural sunlight from dual aspect windows. Within the room is an electric fire sat on a green slate hearth with a matching surround and chimney breast wall. There is potential for an open fire to be re-instated. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen, stylishly fitted with a range of cream fronted, soft-close storage units and a complementary three-sided worktop.

Integrated within the units is an electric twin oven/grill and there is space for an upright fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. There is also space within the room for a small breakfast table and two chairs. There is access to a useful understairs pantry cupboard, providing space for dry goods and household equipment.
