Bannerdale View is a substantial, traditional Lakeland cottage set in circa two acres within the Lake District National Park. The house combines original stone-built character and exposed timbers with generous, flexible living space: large lounge, conservatory, reception room, study, pantry, utility and a sizeable garage. Most principal rooms face the garden and paddock and enjoy uninterrupted fell views and direct access to walking routes from the door.
The plot is a major asset: well-kept formal gardens, pond, cedar summer house with power, greenhouse, shed, stable-turned-store, driveway parking and a separate paddock bisected by a stream. About half the acreage is left as a wooded wildlife area at the foot of Souther Fell; vendors may exclude that wooded strip if preferred. Superfast gigabit broadband is available despite no mobile signal at the site, making remote working viable.
Important practical points: the property is oil‑fired with a Worcester combi boiler and LPG for range/cooking, stone walls likely without modern cavity insulation, and many features are traditional. There is a high flood risk for the area and drainage is by bio-disc, so buyers should confirm insurance and suitability. Council tax is described as expensive and the house, being pre‑1900, may need ongoing maintenance and sympathetic upgrading rather than modern refurbishment.
This home will suit buyers seeking privacy, outdoor space and character — families, owners with equestrian or hobby livestock interests, or anyone wanting direct fell access. It offers immediate liveability but expect investment for energy efficiency improvements and flood‑related checks before purchase.
