An Immaculately Presented 17th-Century Lakeland Home

A rare opportunity to acquire an immaculately presented three/four-bedroom period Lakeland property with five reception rooms, nestled on the edge of the picturesque village of Hawkshead.

The property underwent a comprehensive and sympathetic refurbishment in 2012 to an exceptionally high standard. Improvements included complete rewiring and replumbing, installation of new double-glazed windows, oak doors and architraves, vintage-style radiators, and a new bathroom. Throughout the renovation, many original features were carefully retained, including exposed beams and a traditional cheese cupboard, creating a superb blend of historic character and modern comfort.

In 2015, the attached barn was converted and incorporated into the main house, again to an outstanding standard. This extension created a stunning kitchen, utility room, shower room, and hobby room on the ground floor, together with an additional double bedroom with en-suite facilities and a further sitting room.

Lambs Cottage is a remarkable period home that is far more substantial than its name suggests. Deceptively spacious and finished to an exceptional standard throughout, it offers highly versatile accommodation that could easily be reconfigured to provide a fourth bedroom or a self-contained area suitable for multi-generational living, home working, or guest accommodation.

In addition to its impressive specification, the property enjoys delightful views from the front towards Latterbarrow and Wansfell Pike, while the west-facing rear garden benefits from afternoon and evening sunshine, with extensive patio areas ideal for outdoor entertaining. Further enhancing its appeal is a generous parking area providing space for approximately four vehicles.

Situated within the charming conservation village of Hawkshead, in the heart of Lake District National Park, the property enjoys strong literary associations with William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. The village offers an excellent range of amenities, including specialist shops, traditional public houses, a primary school, a Co-op, pharmacy, and church.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, an abundance of walking and cycling routes can be accessed directly from the doorstep, including routes to Claife Heights, Latterbarrow, Tarn Hows, Grizedale Forest and Esthwaite Water.
