This is a rare opportunity to buy a three bedroom freehold house in the picturesque conservation village of Troutbeck. The property was built in the 1980’s and has been owned by the same family ever since. Set in a picturesque location on a quiet bridleway/country lane the property enjoys magnificent views across the Troutbeck Valley towards Garburn Pass, III Bell and the village church. This charming property was designed by a local architect using a white rendered exterior, timber windows and a Lakeland slate roof to give a modern feel whilst blending easily into its surroundings. The accommodation comprises a spacious entry hall, stepped living room, kitchen with separate utility, ground floor double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, shower room and, on the first floor, a gallery landing and a further two double bedrooms, one with scope for en-suite facilities. Now in need of modernisation this is a very rare opportunity to create a home to your specifications and will appeal to a wide range of buyers, whether as a very comfortable permanent home, an easily accessible weekend getaway or an exceptional holiday home with letting potential.

Close to the property are plenty of country and fell walks including a popular footpath leading across Wansfell into the market town of Ambleside.
