Set on a quiet private lane in Glenridding, this traditional two-bedroom Lakeland cottage offers immediate access to Ullswater and the fells. The cottage combines period character — exposed beams and a wood-burning stove — with practical updates, making it comfortable as a personal retreat or proven holiday let.
Both first-floor bedrooms enjoy fell views and the compact, well-proportioned living spaces include a kitchen/diner and a cosy lounge. Outside there is a small patio garden to the rear and a bench at the front for taking in the scenery. Two allocated off-street parking spaces are provided opposite the cottage.
The property sits in a designated flood-risk zone and was affected during Storm Desmond in 2015. Following that event the owners completed resilience works: concrete ground floor with insulation, water-resistant plaster to 600mm, and an installed sump pump (not yet triggered). Insurance for flood risk may be harder or more expensive; buyers should check cover and future premiums.
Practical information: freehold tenure, electric heating, shared private drainage connected to a compliant sewage treatment plant, and ultrafast 1000Mbps broadband. The cottage is well placed for walkers, local amenities and has a track record as a successful holiday let, giving flexible options for occupation or rental income.
