Set on an elevated site in Borrowdale valley, this substantial three-storey stone cottage delivers striking 360° views of surrounding fells and Derwentwater. Period features including bay windows, high ceilings and fireplaces give the house character while generous room proportions create flexible family living across four double bedrooms.
Practical upgrades include modern electric heating installed in December 2022 (with a 10‑year warranty) and mains water/electricity. Outside there is an on-site parking space, a lawned front garden with dry‑stone walling and a decent plot that opens onto rural Lakeland scenery and abundant wildlife.
Buyers should note material and day‑to‑day limitations: broadband speeds are slow and there is no mobile signal, drainage is via a septic tank, and the property has a single main bathroom plus a separate WC. The neighbouring property holds a pedestrian right of way across part of the land, and council tax is Band E (above average).
This cottage will suit families or buyers seeking a characterful Lakeland home with strong holiday‑let or second‑home appeal, or those prepared to modernise parts of the interior and services to match contemporary expectations. Its secluded hamlet location offers peace and spectacular scenery while Keswick is under five miles away for town amenities.
