Lambs Cottage is a substantial 17th‑century Lakeland home offering generous, flexible living across more than 2,200 sq ft. Sympathetically refurbished in 2012 and extended in 2015, the house blends original features — exposed beams, spice cupboard and vaulted ceilings — with modern fittings such as a high‑spec kitchen, contemporary bathrooms and upgraded wiring. The layout comfortably suits a family, multi‑generational living or a home‑workspace conversion, with scope to reconfigure for a formal fourth bedroom if required.
Outside, the property sits on a very large plot within the Lake District National Park and benefits from a west‑facing, low‑maintenance garden with two patio areas that catch the afternoon sun. A substantial parking area for up to four vehicles is provided via a right of way across the neighbouring drive, and useful stone stores and sheds add practical outdoor storage. The cottage enjoys attractive rural views towards Latterbarrow and Wansfell Pike and is a short walk from Hawkshead village amenities and local walks.
Important practical points: the property is freehold, connected to all mains services with gas central heating, and carries a higher council tax band (Band F). Broadband speeds in the area are slow, which may affect heavy home‑working or streaming without alternative solutions. Access to parking is over a neighbour’s drive (legal right of way) — functional but worth noting for long‑term convenience.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking characterful, spacious accommodation in a conservation village setting, who value a high standard of finish and generous outside space. It is particularly suited to families or buyers looking for an adaptable countryside base with strong walking and village facilities on the doorstep.
