This beautiful superbly appointed traditionally built Lakeland miners cottage has been recently comprehensively and sympathetically renovated. It forms the gable-end of a terrace of rural stone-built cottages dating from the mid-1800s and is situated in a delightfully secluded wooded enclave. This wonderful property looks out over Ullswater and is set back 1/2 mile from the road running alongside the lake. It occupies an idyllic location above Glencoyne valley with the slopes of Sheffield Pike behind leading up to Helvellyn. The cottage is approached along an unmade woodland track and the garden is often visited by red squirrels. You enter the property through a small porch giving onto the kitchen/boot room which is served by an Aga stove and equipped with a Belfast sink fridge freezer dishwasher and beech-wood work surfaces. The kitchen window looks directly towards the lake. Next to the kitchen you find the original pitch-pine beamed living room comfortably furnished with a large sofa and a magnificent log-burning stove. The dining table is set to the rear of the room. The room is well lit with wall-lights and table-lamps. The slate floors are served by underfloor heating should you require it. A short staircase leads to a large light well-furnished bedroom with a king-size bed and tastefully selected furniture. The wainscoted bathroom has extensive views over the lake and is entered directly from the bedroom. It is equipped with a traditional roll-top bath hand-held shower basin WC and heated towel radiator. The limed-oak bedroom floor benefits from under-floor heating whilst the bathroom is well heated by traditional radiators.
