Nestled in the sought-after village of Levens, this charming stone-built cottage enjoys uninterrupted views across the picturesque Lyth Valley. Full of character and charm, the property offers a cosy and versatile living space, ideal as a permanent home or a holiday retreat. With its unique layout and stunning outlook, this delightful cottage is not to be missed.

On entering, a practical porch provides boot and shoe storage before leading into a welcoming entrance hall, which grants access to the ground floor living spaces. The ground floor comprises two double bedrooms, a well-appointed house bathroom, a light-filled orangery and a versatile rear room currently used for storage-ideal for conversion into a utility room.

Bedroom One is a generous double with a dual aspect, offering stunning valley views. Bedroom Two is also a double, complete with built-in wardrobes. The house bathroom features fully tiled walls, a panelled bath with overhead electric shower and glass shower screen, pedestal wash hand basin, W/C and a mirrored alcove.

The lower ground floor orangery is a striking feature, boasting stone-flagged flooring, exposed stone walls, and panoramic views over the Lyth Valley, making it the perfect spot to relax. The rear garden extends from the orangery and includes a flagged patio area and a neatly maintained lawn.

Upstairs, the property offers a split-level, partially open living space. The mezzanine-style lounge enjoys a dual aspect, charming window seats, exposed beams and a feature stone surround with a recessed electric wood burner-style stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The dining kitchen, also dual-aspect, is fitted with wood-effect wall and base units, a Neff oven and grill, four-ring induction hob with concealed extractor, double circular sinks, space for an under-counter fridge/freezer and a small store cupboard housing the boiler.

With its combination of traditional character, versatile living accommodation and breathtaking valley views, this stone-built cottage represents a rare opportunity in the heart of Levens. The village itself offers convenient transport links, with easy access to Junction 36 of the M6, stunning surrounding Lakeland scenery, a well-regarded primary school, park, village shop and a popular village pub. The historic market town of Kendal, with its wide range of shops, schools and amenities, lies just a short distance away, making this an ideal location for both permanent living and holiday use.
