A traditional stone built Lakeland cottage which has been tastefully extended to create a spacious, well planned and comfortable 3 bedroom detached house. All the rooms have spectacular views towards the garden or over the common towards the Langdale fells. The garden extends over roughly two acres and encompasses a stream, waterfall, rockery and lots of mature shrubs and plants including colourful rhododendrons and azaleas. The cottage is double fronted and benefits from a substantial porch with flagged floor and pine bench seat.

The porch leads into the living and dining room area, separated with a hand built central oak dresser, designed and crafted by local cabinet maker Philip Bowness. Oak table and chairs for 6 are to the right and 2 sofas and chairs are to the left. Living room facilities include flat screen TV, DVD player and MP3 player. The living room benefits from multifuel stove and fossil granite fire surround and both areas have good views over the Common.

The good quality fitted kitchen has units to three sides, Italian limestone flagstone floor, Corian worktops, dishwasher, oven and hob. Access from the kitchen into the garden room with it's own dining table and chairs, which takes in delightful views of the garden. Just off the kitchen is a laundry room, with fitted units, washer and separate tumble dryer. Before the laundry room there is a downstairs cloakroom with WC. Opposite the laundry room is an internal door leading to an integral garage, now permanently converted into a games room with full size table tennis table. Great for the kids and the occasional rainy day.

On the first floor a large landing area leads to the triple aspect master bedroom featuring a super-king bed, built in wardrobes, beautiful views and ensuite bathroom with bath, shower and WC. The second bedroom has dual aspect and lovely views, twin beds and fitted wardrobes. The third bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a single bed leaving plenty of space to stretch out.
