Description

Tucked away in a tranquil corner of Cumbria, just on the edge of the breathtaking Lake District National Park, this enchanting two-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers a rare blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, making it a true gem for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat or a base from which to explore the western lakes and surrounding fells.

Originally part of a traditional farmstead, the cottage exudes character from the moment you step through the door, with a spacious entrance hallway that doubles as a delightful breakfast room, setting the tone for the welcoming atmosphere found throughout the property. The heart of the home is the eye-catching lounge, where a wood-burning stove sits proudly against exposed stonework, creating a warm and inviting space that is perfect for relaxing evenings or entertaining friends and family. Above, a galleried landing adds a sense of openness and architectural interest, while the inner hallway leads seamlessly to the well-appointed kitchen, a modern bathroom, and a comfortable double bedroom on the ground floor.

Ascend to the first floor, and you will find a versatile bedroom area nestled in the former loft space, complete with an opening to a generous store area that would make an ideal home office or creative studio, catering to the needs of professionals working remotely or those seeking a quiet study space.

The property’s practical features are further enhanced by a large garage and exterior steps that lead up to a unique rooftop seating area, perfect for unwinding after a day spent exploring the nearby River Ehen or the picturesque trails of Ennerdale, both just a short drive away. A substantial stone-built workshop with a vaulted ceiling offers a wealth of possibilities, whether you are a hobbyist in need of a dedicated workspace or simply looking for additional storage. The ample shared driveway provides allocated parking with additional visitor parking, while the low-maintenance garden area offers a private spot to enjoy the tranquil surroundings.

Ideally located just two minutes from the amenities of Cleator Moor and within easy reach of Egremont and Whitehaven, this charming cottage is perfectly positioned for those who desire the best of rural living without sacrificing accessibility. Whether you are a growing family, or a professional seeking a peaceful work-from-home environment, with flexible living arrangements, this property presents a wonderful opportunity to embrace the Cumbrian lifestyle.
