2 Bed Cottage in Penrith

About this property

Set above the pretty village of Glenridding in the Helvellyn range, this beautiful country cottage offers breathtaking fell walks from the doorstep. Deepdale Horseshoe which includes Fairfield and St Sunday Crag is just 3 miles away, with plenty more wainwrights nearby too for keen walkers. Glenridding’s fascinating mining history can be discovered in the local Tourist Information Centre, or you can hop on a steamer and admire the tranquil scenes of Ullswater or the Aira Force waterfall 3 miles away. Alternatively, you can hire a boat or canoe at Ullswater, or enjoy a relaxing cycle around the lake and stop for a picnic. Wander around Glenridding’s independent shops and treat the family to a meal out in a local pub.

This attractive two-bedroom cottage is a cosy and welcoming space to return to after your Lake District adventures. Settle down in the evenings in the comfortable lounge/diner, with a warming wood burner and the backdrop of impressive mountain views as you sit back on the sofa and watch TV. The relaxed dining table seats four, perfect for light snacks or family mealtimes. Cook up hearty meals in the galley kitchen, which is equipped with an electric oven and hob, a fridge, and a handy dishwasher. Sit at the breakfast bar for your morning cup of coffee while you organise the day. Upstairs you’ll find two beautifully decorated double bedrooms. The bright and cheerful master bedroom enjoys mountain views while the pretty double bedroom looks out to Glenridding Dodd at the back of the property. Also on the first floor is the spacious family bathroom, which includes a shower over the bath and a WC.

To the front of the property, there is a lovely, enclosed garden with peaceful views perfect for al fresco dining on the outdoor furniture.
