About this property

Built in 1775 and formerly the village school, this charming cottage adjoins the owner's home and is situated in Crooklands, close to the Westmorland Showground and the village of Endmoor. Ideally located mid-way between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, this semi-detached Crooklands cottage has two double bedrooms, including a ground floor room with an en-suite shower room, plus there is also a family bathroom on the ground floor. The sitting room with dining area at this Cumbria cottage is stylish and comfortable, whilst outside there is a pretty, private 'secret' garden and patio, which provides the perfect place for alfresco dining. The Lancaster Canal is just a short walk away and provides a fascinating insight to a host of resident wildlife, flora and fauna. A pub/hotel serving good traditional Cumbrian food is a four minute walk from your welcoming Crooklands cottage, a real bonus after a day exploring the beautiful Lake Windemere which is just a twenty minute drive away, or after visiting the historic market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, just seven miles along the road. The area is rich in natural history with Farleton Knott, a huge expanse of limestone crags and pavements close by, plus for a perfect day out, come rain or shine, the caves at White Scar, Ingleton are always popular, and Leighton Moss Nature Reserve at Silverdale, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has been featured on BBC Autumnwatch. This cosy Cumbrian cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy all this area has to offer at any time of the year.

Once an important medieval market town, the settlement of Milnthorpe is located in the southern Lake District between Kendal and Carnforth. Just a few miles from the seaside village of Arnside, evidence of Milnthorpe's history can still be found amongst the narrow lanes and historic buildings, illustrating a time before the motor car. Set in lovely rolling countryside, the area also offers many great outdoor activities including the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis with its tropical hall and butterfly house. Dallam Tower and Levens Hall - both of which are historic stately homes with deer parks, topiary and ornamental gardens - provide a great day out for visitors. Other excellent attractions include Leighton Hall, Sizergh Castle, the Great Lakes Aquarium, Windermere and Grizedale Forest – all of which are located within easy reach.
