A Storybook Home at the Edge of Grizedale Forest
Nestled high above the valley, where winding tracks give way to towering trees and birdsong, Old Breasty Haw offers a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of the Lake District. Surrounded by mature woodland and set on a private plot with just one discreet neighbour, this charming home combines the soul of a traditional country cottage with the comfort and grace of refined modern living.

The setting alone is breathtaking - a tapestry of green, with panoramic views across the treetops and gentle hills. Here, the rhythm of nature shapes each day, from morning light falling through the canopy to dusky evenings on the terrace, where owls call from the forest beyond. Whether it's a slow walk through the neighbouring trails of Grizedale Forest, an energetic bike ride straight from your doorstep or small stroll down the hill into the centre of Satterthwaite Village where a welcoming community of local people and their quaint country pub The Eagles Head is a perfect place to relax in the beer garden during the summer, or cosy up next to their roaring log burner during the winter months, Old Breasty Haw promises both serenity and adventure in equal measure.

Country Warmth Meets Characterful Design
Arriving at the sage-painted door, framed by honeysuckle and edged with slate, you're welcomed by a cast-iron lion knocker - a touch of whimsy that sets the tone for what lies within. The entrance porch offers a quiet moment to pause, with its wooden accents and seating. Beyond, original features and gentle nods to heritage fill the house with warmth and charm.

The kitchen is a highlight - a country-style space filled with character, where white and green tiles meet a grand green Range Master oven with gold detailing. A deep Belfast sink gleams beneath a cottage window, while the walls are adorned with endearing sheep motifs and rustic artwork. Just beyond, a well-appointed utility room houses the practicalities with ease, discreetly tucked away yet generously sized.

Flowing from the kitchen, the main lounge is a place to gather, relax, and savour the slower pace of rural life. A classic open fireplace brings comfort in winter, while natural light fills the room year-round. Original beams, country furnishings and bespoke details blend to create a living space that feels both generous and grounded.

A few steps lead down to a welcoming dining area - a newer addition that offers clear sightlines to the garden and woods beyond. Perfect for long breakfasts, Sunday roasts or quiet candlelit evenings, this room connects directly to a thoughtfully designed composite decking, ideal for year-round use. The garden itself is both pretty and private, with well-tended shrubs, hydrangeas, laurel hedging and a wraparound seating area complete with barbecue space. There's even a hidden corner for storing bikes or logs, and a shed tucked neatly at the end of the plot.

A Restful Retreat for All Seasons
The staircase is open and airy, climbing gently to the first floor where three delightful bedrooms await. Each has its own identity and charm. The first, known affectionately as "Tern", is full of light and cosiness, the double aspect windows flood the room with natural light and its beautifully finished en-suite, adorned with elegant fittings and woodland views add to the rooms allure.

The second bedroom, "Teal", feels quietly grand. It features high ceilings, built-in wooden cupboard, and a stylish en-suite with a shower. Glimpses of the decking and the surrounding trees frame the windows, offering a sense of peaceful seclusion.

The largest bedroom, "Swan", is a tranquil haven - a large double room which presently comfortably accommodates a double bed and daybed. Its daybed sits beneath the cottage windows, inviting you to slow down and take in the view. With its fitted wardrobes, dressing area and soft country styling, it offers space for both guests and growing families. The en-suite bathroom is just as considered - a timeless design with a deep freestanding bath, perfect for long soaks, whether you're returning from muddy walks or simply easing into the evening.

A Place to Call Home
