A Beautifully Refurbished Character Cottage in a Delightful Rural Setting

Following a sympathetic refurbishment, Red Bank Cottage is now ready to welcome new occupants. Offering well-proportioned accommodation including two generous double bedrooms, this charming home combines traditional character with modern comfort, all set within an attractive and peaceful setting.

The accommodation is rich in charm throughout and briefly comprises a spacious dual-aspect living room, accessed directly via a part-glazed wooden front door. This inviting reception room features an impressive sandstone inglenook fireplace with hearth, housing a log-burning stove and creating a wonderful focal point. Tiled flooring runs through the space, with open access leading through to both the kitchen and the utility room.

The utility room is a highly practical addition and includes a newly fitted WC and wash hand basin along with the water cylinder. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The room benefits from tiled flooring, a rear-aspect window, and a part-glazed external door.

The characterful kitchen is dual aspect and showcases beams to the ceiling, exposed sandstone wall detailing, and traditional stone-flagged flooring. It is fitted with a range of wall and base units with complementary work surfaces and upstands, incorporating a Belfast sink with mixer tap. Integrated appliances include an oven with hob and extractor above, with space provided for a fridge and freezer. There is ample room for dining furniture, along with a useful understairs storage cupboard with lighting that also houses the consumer unit.

Stairs rise from the inner hallway to the first-floor landing, which provides access to all first-floor rooms. The principal bedroom is a spacious dual-aspect double room, benefitting from a shelved overstairs cupboard. The second double bedroom is also dual aspect and features a decorative fireplace, while enjoying attractive open views towards the surrounding fells.

The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising WC, wash hand basin, and bath with mains-connected shower over, together with an additional handheld shower attachment. The room is finished with part-tiled walls, tiled flooring, a heated chrome towel rail, and an extractor fan. Please note that the staircase, landing, and bedrooms have been fitted with carpets.

Externally, the property enjoys an enclosed front garden laid mainly to lawn, complemented by a low-maintenance gravelled area and flower bed. A well-positioned summer house provides a lovely place to sit and enjoy the open views, while an outhouse with WC adds further convenience. The garden opens out onto the parking area, which provides off-road parking for two vehicles.

This delightful cottage offers a rare opportunity to rent a character home, combining period features, modern upgrades, and a picturesque setting.
