About this home

This superbly appointed, traditionally built Lakeland miner’s cottage has been recently sympathetically and comprehensively renovated. You enter the property through a small porch giving onto the open-plan pitch-pine beamed kitchen/living room.

The living area is comfortably furnished with a small sofa drawn facing onto an impressive double-doored log-burning stove. The kitchen area is served by an AGA stove and equipped with a Belfast sink, fridge, dishwasher, and beech-wood and butcher’s block work surfaces.

A small traditional dining table separates the kitchen and living area. The room is well lit, with wall-mounted and ceiling lighting. A short staircase leads to a well-furnished bedroom with a double bed and built in wardrobes. The wainscoted bathroom is entered directly from the bedroom and is equipped with a traditional roll-top bath, hand-held shower, basin, WC and heated towel radiator.

The limed-oak floors of the bedroom and bathroom are served by underfloor heating.

Outside, the property boasts a shared lawned area looking over mature apple and thorn trees and across the valley. The lawn is bound on one side by mature mixed hedging and on the other is open to views of the lake The garden offers an enviable area in which to sit and enjoy the lake views, and is equipped with a garden bench and table for this purpose. The large local slate gravelled area offers excellent parking and an enviable outlook over the lake.
