Surrounded by lush countryside, this sought after area enjoys the best of both worlds, offering the countryside ideal at the foot of Lake Windermere, whilst still being conveniently located just ½ mile to the A592 leading to the heart of The Lakes. The current owners have lovingly brought the property back to life, so now the 400 year old, four bed cottage has been transformed into a stunning, characterful home that offers a mix of traditional interiors and modern comforts to include new windows throughout. Sitting within a large plot extending to over 1 acre, the property boasts a private setting, stunning, newly landscaped gardens, four separate driveways and a carport. The final string to the bow is the attached shippon and large barn, which at present is a great area for storage and a workshop however it could be converted into a holiday let or an extension of the house, subject to relevant planning consents.

The flagged patio to the rear looks out over the large lawn, landscaped with colourful plants and flowers for a lovely outlook on approach to the entrance. The entrance porch with slate pitched roof creates a pretty and practical entrance into this charming home, with a slate seat and space for storing muddy boots. There are alternative entrances into the property however this one leads directly into the heart of the home – the open plan kitchen and living area. This homely space has a welcoming feel from the outset and the attention to detail in ensuring the integrity of this unique home has been retained is also evident. Restored stone flagged floors run throughout the space and the traditional painted units of the kitchen are finished with Burlington slate worktops, including a large central island. A Rangemaster cooker is set within a tiled inglenook with exposed beam lintel tying in with the exposed beams on the ceiling and over the doors and windows. The living area is set around the multi fuel stove, creating a cosy atmosphere much enjoyed in the winter months. The kitchen is supported by the newly converted cold store which now serves as a sizeable pantry and prep kitchen, offering a further range of units with the original restored stone worktops, flagged floors and exposed wooden beams.

Adjoining the kitchen is the former entrance hall, now utilised as a dining area with an external door leading out onto one of the drives to the front. There is access from here to the WC and into the cosy yet bright living room. French doors lead out into the cottage garden to the side of the property, creating a lovely outlook.

Consisting of an attached shippon, a large barn with vehicle access from the lane and a smaller attached barn, there is potential to convert into a holiday let or even extend the cottage into the large barn. At present they are fantastic for storage and the shippon is a great workshop. There are also two external former pigsty’s which are great garden and log stores or could be used as kennels. The bottom driveway leads to a stone built two bay carport with a slate roof, this also makes for a fantastic shaded seating area from which to enjoy the lovely outlook over the garden.

The current vendors have lovingly redesigned the sizeable gardens of the cottage, with patio areas for alfresco dining and relaxing, overlooking the lawn that extends down to a trickling stream. The garden is a testament to their hard work and passion and is awash with colour and wildlife. The borders have been thoughtfully stocked with vibrant rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas and perennials for an effective bloom year after year. The well kept lawn also boasts an open apple orchard and further plum and olive trees, gooseberries, blackcurrants and rhubarb can be found across the garden. Even the enclosed boundary, whether it be fences, stone walls or natural sloping rockery, have been planted with eye catching fl owers and plants such as a climbing roses. A slate chipped pathway leads up through the borders, with gradual steps leading around the property to a beautiful cottage garden fi lled with an array of colourful fl owers, plants and shrubs. This area can also be accessed from the French doors of the living room, leading to a seating area set under a wooden pergola.
