The Cottage, Penny Bridge, Nr Ulverston, Cumbria, LA12 7RJ.

Description The Cottage is a delightful property having some lovely original features and a cosy, welcoming and relaxing feeling throughout with extensive, wonderfully maintained Garden and Orchard to the rear. The property occupies a convenient location in the village centre with easy access to the local Junior School and the Public House 'The Britannia'. It is ideal for the smaller family or First Time Buyer or of course as a second home or investment property.

The attractive red uPVC front door opens directly into the Living Room with deep set front uPVC window and window seat. Cosy open fireplace, brick surround and slated hearth. Picture and dado rails. The Dining Kitchen has space for a small table and chairs and is furnished with a range of wall and base cabinets with inset stainless steel sink unit. Built-in electric oven and hob. Space for under-counter fridge and slimline dishwasher. Wonderful, original range cooker (not in use) but a real feature! Deep set internal window with window seat. From here the stairs lead to the First Floor.

A wooden glazed door leads outside from the Kitchen to the covered access to the Utility Room with downstairs separate WC. With a feature partly exposed stone wall, the 2 Velux and 2 uPVC windows make this additional versatile space both light and airy; currently utilised as a Utility Room this room could be used for other purposes too - perhaps an Office for the Home Worker.

Off the Landing at the top of the stairs is Bedroom 1 a well proportioned Double Bedroom with charming original cast iron fire surround (not in use) and a window seat to the deep set front facing uPVC window. The Bathroom is spacious and fitted with a 3 piece white suite comprising WC, wash hand basin and bath with electric shower over. Exposed beams and an Airing cupboard which houses the wall mounted gas central heating boiler.

From the First Floor Landing, stairs lead up to the Second Floor. Bedroom 2 which is also generous, though with some reduced head height towards the eaves. Exposed beams, eaves storage and roof window with views towards the rear garden.

In addition to the small forecourt Garden at the front of the property, a huge benefit of this lovely property are the incredible rear Grounds, accessed along a short, narrow, grassy path to the gate which opens into the magnificent Garden and Orchard which are not overlooked and enjoy lots of privacy. Wow! What a sublime space - beautifully manicured, tiered with good areas of lawn and a variety of colourful shrubs and fruit bushes - raspberries, blackcurrants and blackberries. Gated access leads in to an 'Orchard' with a selection of cherry and apple trees which backs on to open countryside. Towards the top of the Orchard, fine Lakeland views including 'Coniston Old Man' can be found! These Grounds really do have to be seen to be fully appreciated, they are a real credit to the vendors.  

Location Penny Bridge is a pretty hamlet (with Pub) on the very fringe of the Lak District National Park on the edge of the village of Greenodd. Greenodd boasts amenities such as Bakery, Public House, Fish & Chip Shop, Ice Cream Parlour, Primary School and Church. A little further is the market town of Ulverston and its variety of individual shops, Booths supermarket and Aldi. There is also easy access to the delights and attractions of the inner Lake District. Penny Bridge is an excellent base from which to explore the Lake District without being right in the centre of the busier towns. There is walking and cycling from the doorstep.

To reach the property from the A590 at Greenodd, turn onto the A5092 in the direction of Coniston. Follow the road and take the second left. Proceed up the hill and turn left at the 'T' junction, opposite the Brittania Public House. The Cottage is shortly on the right hand side.
