Gillercombe, 97 Craig Walk, Windermere, Cumbria LA23 2JS

Gillercombe is a charming and deceptively spacious four-bedroom Lakeland cottage, ideally positioned just a short stroll from the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere and all the amenities this thriving tourist village has to offer. Benefitting from off-road parking and well-proportioned accommodation arranged over four floors, this attractive home is larger than the average cottage of its kind.

Constructed in the traditional Lakeland style with solid stone elevations beneath a pitched slate roof, the property retains great character and charm. Externally, there is a small front garden, while to the rear a generous patio provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. An outhouse offers additional storage, and a further enclosed garden area is accessed via a gate which also leads to a private parking space. On-street parking is available to the front. The property would make an excellent permanent residence, idyllic holiday home, or an attractive holiday let investment in this highly sought-after location.
