Cottage in Cumbria

About this property

This spectacular area of natural beauty is unsurprisingly popular among keen walkers, with wonderful mountain, valley, and lakeside routes on the doorstep. From the hamlet of Kentmere, a track leads to a splendid collection of mountain tops including Thornthwaite Crag, Froswick, High Street, Mardale Ill Bell, and Harter Fell. 3 miles from the cottage is the village of Staveley, which boasts typical Lakeland stone buildings, the Rivers Kent and Gowan, a beautiful church, and a selection of shops and inns. Also within easy reach is iconic Windermere (8 miles), with its literary history, bustling centre, and beautiful lake, while Kendal (9 miles) offers larger stores, supermarkets, art galleries, a theatre, and a cinema. On arrival at this delightful cottage you can leave your muddy boots and coats in the small boot room area before continuing through to the farmhouse style kitchen. With a large dining table, Aga exposed beams, and quirky vintage touches, this is a charming room for enjoying candle lit suppers. After meals, step through to the inviting sitting room where an inglenook fireplace with roaring wood burner, Smart TV and DAB radio, stylish sofas, and cosy rugs await. From the small hall, stairs lead up to the bedroom, which features a king size bed, antique furniture, and spectacular valley views. The compact yet stylish bathroom can be found next door.
