Enjoying an idyllic riverside location, this beautiful traditional cottage is perfect for a couple or small family exploring the southern reaches of the Lake District. The cottage occupies a delightful spot on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Cartmel, with the 12th-century priory close by. Imaginatively updated and retaining original exposed ceiling beams, the cottage features a charming wood burner and a pretty walled garden. Providing cosy and relaxing accommodation for up to four guests, this delightful property is an idyllic retreat for keen walkers and nature lovers discovering this spellbinding area.
The airy and tastefully decorated lounge is an ideal space for relaxation and leads into a charming conservatory-style dining area overlooking the stream. The ground floor also offers a fully equipped and elegantly designed kitchen which is a pleasure to cook in. The first floor has two comfortable king-size bedrooms and a stylish bathroom. A small, terraced patio to the front of the cottage overlooks the river and meadow beyond. The walled back garden features outdoor furniture. A small iron bridge leads over the river to a private riverside bank where you can enjoy a peaceful picnic.
The cottage overlooks the River Ea and is just a short walk from the main village square in Cartmel. This welcoming village has a range of friendly restaurants, pubs and independent shops, and is known for its delicious sticky toffee pudding and for its National Hunt racecourse (within a quarter of a mile). Numerous local attractions and landmarks include Hampsfell, Eggerslack Wood and Holker Hall and Gardens (all within 3.5 miles). Heading north, you can explore some of the UK’s Great Lakes, with Windermere (6.5 miles), Coniston Water (16 miles) and Esthwaite Water (12 miles) all within easy reach.
