4 Bed Cottage in Penrith

About this property

Sitting in a peaceful position surrounded by open farmland and fells, plan a break to this charming cottage that offers the perfect escape from everyday life. Located at the southern end of the Ullswater Valley, it is a walker’s paradise with both leisurely and challenging routes right on the doorstep. Discover Dovedale Horseshoe, Hartsop Above How and Dove Crag before stopping for a bite to eat at the local pub, just half a mile from the property. More amenities can be found in nearby Patterdale and Glenridding, both within 4 miles, while the Lakeland Victorian town of Ambleside is just 11 miles away. Other nearby attractions include the historic houses of Dalemain, 14 miles away, and Lowther Castle, 17 miles away.

Brimming with character, this period property boasts exposed beams, slanted ceilings and an original stone fireplace with open fire. Cook and dine in the traditional farmhouse kitchen, where you will find an oil-fired oven as well as a double electric oven and a microwave. A handy utility room houses a large fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine and offers additional storage space for boots and coats. In the evenings, light the open fire and settle in for a cosy evening of TV in the inviting lounge. Or, challenge fellow guests to a board game at the table in the office. Climb the curved staircase to reach the first floor, where you will find four elegant bedrooms. The master king-size bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the second king-size, double and single bedroom share a family bathroom with a fabulous freestanding bath.

Step outside to enjoy an al fresco drink in the enclosed patio area or explore the rest of the farmyard beyond. There is ample off-road parking.
