Main Street, Ravenglass, Cumbria, CA18

The Old Reading Room is a distinctive and characterful cottage set in one of Cumbria’s most unique coastal locations, overlooking the beautiful Ravenglass estuary. Offered with no onward chain delay.

The Old Reading Room is a charming cottage dwelling with an enviable outlook of far reaching views over the estuary in the coastal hamlet of Ravenglass on the western fringes of the Lake District National Park. Set on the Main Street which is the artery of the village running directly down to the coastal inlet with cottages of their own individual charm running either side of the road.

The property has been in the same family for over 30 years and improved upon during that time whilst retaining the history and character features which include the inglenook stone fireplace, exposed beams and imposing wooden staircase.

Step into the cottage vestibule hallway and through the door into the surprisingly spacious downstairs accommodation. This includes an open plan arrangement with various seating areas, dining area and contemporary kitchen with integral cooking appliances and dishwasher. Also to the ground floor is a three piece shower suite which also houses the combination gas boiler, and a good size storage room.

To the first floor you will find the two bedrooms which include a large bedroom which could be divided to create a third bedroom if needed and another three piece shower suite. Accessible off the landing is the impressive glass framed balcony which is a perfect spot to enjoy the fabulous views over the estuary and watch the sun set on the horizon.

Ravenglass itself is full of charm and character, renowned for its coastal walks, historic setting and the much loved Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway (Lal Ratty). With beaches, countryside and some of the Lake District’s quieter western valleys right on the doorstep, the village offers a lifestyle that feels wonderfully unhurried and refreshingly different.

Whether used as a main residence, second home or holiday let, The Old Reading Room represents a rare opportunity to purchase a home of genuine individuality in one of Cumbria’s most atmospheric coastal settings.
