Set in the Borrowdale valley, this detached two-bedroom period cottage has been comprehensively upgraded and is offered freehold. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and an open-plan living/dining kitchen with granite surfaces create a stylish, comfortable base for visitors or long stays. The property enjoys spectacular front views to the surrounding fells from a tranquil side-road location in Rosthwaite, about six miles from Keswick.
Both double bedrooms have en-suite facilities, increasing lettings flexibility and guest privacy. The lawned garden and surrounding planted borders provide attractive outdoor space without intensive upkeep. Practical additions include a utility room, under-floor oil central heating and a side area housing the oil tank.
Notable considerations are the medium flood risk for the area and the off-site reserved parking which is transferable but costs approximately £800 per year. Heating is oil-fired rather than mains gas or a modern renewable system. The plot is modest in size and the cottage sits in a small hamlet within the Lake District National Park, which brings planning restrictions that can affect alterations.
Overall this well-presented cottage offers immediate rental or second-home potential for buyers seeking an attractive holiday base with strong scenery and recent renovations, provided they accept the heating type, parking arrangement and environmental considerations.
