This attractive stone cottage sits in an idyllic, peaceful spot between Ambleside and Hawkshead, offering uninterrupted south-facing countryside views from every principal room. Sympathetically extended from a former barn, the house feels bright and well-proportioned with a welcoming sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen, utility, ground-floor shower, three double bedrooms and family bathroom. The home is presented in immaculate order and benefits from character features such as a slate hearth and thoughtful window placement.
Outside, the mature, natural gardens are designed for low-maintenance enjoyment with terraced patios, a lower lawn with a small beck and many established shrubs that attract wildlife. There is a large private parking area with space for multiple vehicles and a convenient turning space — practical for family use, a weekend retreat or owners with outdoor kit such as a small day boat.
Practical conveniences include gas central heating, double glazing, superfast Openreach broadband and recent shared private drainage (installed 2023). The property’s location within the Lake District National Park gives easy access to walking, cycling and lakeshore attractions while local amenities in Ambleside and Hawkshead are a short drive away.
Important considerations: the home lies in a high flooding-risk zone and has a shared private water supply and drainage with nearby properties. A neighbouring cottage retains a right of access across part of the driveway. These factors are material for insurance, future maintenance and access arrangements and should be reviewed by prospective buyers.
