Saltcoats, Holmrook, CA19

Beach Cottage is a stunning detached property perfectly positioned right on the Estuary, near Ravenglass, on the far western edge of the Lake District National Park. With breathtaking, uninterrupted estuary views, this charming cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful waterside lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of local amenities.

Lovingly refurbished to a high standard, the cottage blends contemporary fixtures and fittings with original character, including exposed beams and floorboards dating back to the 1850s. Currently utilised as a second home, Beach Cottage would make an ideal holiday let, retirement property, or a long-term relocation to the area. Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, comprising a welcoming entrance, a spacious lounge/diner with panoramic estuary views, a contemporary fitted kitchen, a ground-floor bedroom, and a modern bathroom. Upstairs, two further generous bedrooms provide flexible living space.

Outside, wraparound gardens and a large paved terrace are perfectly positioned to enjoy the spectacular sunsets over the estuary. Two substantial cellar rooms with separate side access, one currently used as a workshop, offer excellent potential for home working or ancillary accommodation, subject to planning consent.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented estuary-front property in a peaceful, scenic setting, a perfect escape from the bustle of the more frequented Lake District destinations. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the location, charm, and lifestyle this cottage offers.
