A rare Lakeland opportunity, Summer Hill Cottage & Summerhill Studio combine flexibility, space and scenery in one exceptional setting. Extending to approximately 2,764 sq ft, this unique property offers two self-contained homes, a large plot, parking for 4 - 5 cars, and open far reaching views across Cartmel Fell. It feels wonderfully tucked away and rural, yet both Kendal and Windermere are only around 20 minutes away.

The arrangement of the property is particularly attractive, offering the balance of independence and versatility that is increasingly hard to find. Summer Hill Cottage is the principal residence, while Summerhill Studio sits separately across the garden as a fully self contained one bedroom property. Together, they create an appealing option for buyers seeking multigenerational living, private guest accommodation, or a lifestyle purchase with income potential.

The main house is spacious, welcoming and full of character, with accommodation centred around a large sitting room with wood burning stove, a traditional farmhouse kitchen with range cooker and pantry, formal dining room, snug and utility room. Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, including one en suite, together with a family bathroom, creating a home that works equally well for everyday living or as a substantial country retreat.

Separate from the house, Summerhill Studio has a more contemporary feel, with vaulted ceilings, full height glazing and an open plan layout designed to make the most of the natural surroundings. It includes an integrated kitchen, living space with log burning stove, double bedroom, bathroom and a private terrace enjoying the fell views. It is a lovely standalone space with a sense of privacy all of its own.

The setting is one of the property’s real strengths. Peaceful and scenic, it offers a genuine sense of escape while remaining conveniently placed for access to the wider South Lakes. Fell Foot Park, Stott Park Bobbin Mill and Newby Bridge are all nearby, while The Masons Arms and The Hare and Hounds are both approximately a mile away. For a broader range of amenities, dining and shopping, both Kendal and Windermere are within easy reach.

Please note: Summerhill Studio may only be used for residential occupation and cannot be holiday let. Summer Hill Cottage can be used as a holiday let.

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal, who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or have had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £60 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive £11.00 of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks

About Love Property, North Yorkshire

18 Richmond Road, Catterick Garrison, Richmond DL9 3JA
Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0Industry affiliation logo 1Industry affiliation logo 2

Welcome to Love Property

Love Property began after founder Laura Howey’s own poor experience as a home seller, a time when bad advice nearly cost her tens of thousands of pounds. Soon after, she became a landlord and faced the same lack of support again. Those experiences sparked a simple mission: to build an agency that does things differently.

From day one, Love Property has been about people, not volume. We choose to work with a select number of sellers and landlords so we can give each client the time, honesty, and attention they deserve.

Today, we help clients across North Yorkshire, County Durham, Cumbria and Northumberland with sales, lettings, and full property management. Every listing is handled with care, clear strategy, personal communication, and calm expertise from start to finish.

Everyone on our team lives locally and knows the area inside out, from Richmond and the Dales to the surrounding villages. We understand that a home is more than a property; it’s part of your story.

If you’re thinking about selling or letting, we’ll give you clear, practical advice to help you make confident decisions, no pressure, no hard sell, just the service we wish we’d had.

Because for us, it’s never just about property. It’s about people finding their place and feeling supported every step of the way.
