Ravenscroft Cottage, Lake Road, Windermere

Ravenscroft cottage is a traditionally built, 2 bedroom terraced house, perfectly situated on a quiet street midway between Windermere and Bowness, an easy walk either way to all amenities and the Lake itself within 15 minutes. A characterful, but spacious cottage-style building, it is fully modernised and well presented. Offering scope for holiday letting, ideal 2nd home or permanent residence, the property benefits from ample off-road parking and has the advantage of no onward chain!

Upon entering the front door, step into the well-finished, modern and contemporary, open-plan kitchen diner, offering a range of wall and base units, worktop with inset sink unit and tiled splashbacks. There are built-in Bosch appliances and the gas boiler is housed in one of the wall units. Ample room for a dining space and an ideal hub for family meals or entertaining, make this a welcoming part of the home with a front aspect. Just off the kitchen there is a practical utility room which has plumbing for a washing machine offering useful storage for coats, boots, shoes etc.

Located to the left is the bright and cosy living room which boasts a large window and additional glazed doorway to the exterior allowing maximum light to flood in. An original ladder structure - once used to access the upper floor has been retained by the vendor as a decorative feature. The open spindle staircase leads up to the first floor and accommodates a small understairs cupboard.

At first floor level, there are 2 double sized bedrooms. Both of these have high sloping ceilings but offer good, unrestricted head height, maximising the sense of open space. Velux roof windows compliment both bedrooms. At the end of the hallway is a spacious, modern shower room. It has fully tiled walls, a large walk-in shower, WC, vanity basin, mirror and spotlights. Two Velux rooflights allow plenty of natural light to flood the room

Outside, there is ample space for convenient parking to accommodate 3 cars, right in front of the property.
