About this property
The cottage enjoys a scenic spot in the Buttermere Valley between the peak of Grasmoor and the northern tip of Crummock Water. A haven for walkers, the area is known for its high fells and woodland rambles, with popular walks including the ridge walk from Buttermere to Rannerdale, the Corpse Road and tumuli walk, and the trail from Lanthwaite Wood to Crummock Water. The peaceful hamlet of Loweswater (1.5 miles) has a welcoming inn and is just a mile from the beautiful lake of Loweswater itself. Heading west, you can visit the historic town of Cockermouth (7.5 miles), or travelling east, the bustling town of Keswick (12 miles) has numerous attractions including Derwent Pencil Museum and Puzzling Place. Entering this imaginatively updated barn conversion, the ground floor is occupied by a cosy, welcoming and spacious open plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Full of character, this charming space retains original features including exposed wooden beams and makes a wonderfully relaxing living space. The lounge area has plenty of seating, a TV and a warming wood burner, providing the ideal spot to unwind in the evening. Everyone can gather around the snug dining table to enjoy a meal which you can prepare in the stylish kitchen, which is equipped with an electric oven, separate hob, microwave and fridge/freezer. Upstairs, there are two fresh and bright bedrooms to choose from. Set on the half landing, the delightful double bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, a skylight and a feature low window which once served as the barn doors. At the end of the landing is a second bedroom with a king size bed, original beams and quirky cottage style windows. The property also has a family bathroom complete with a shower over the bath and a WC. Outside, a path weaves its way through the pretty garden, past the lawn and flower beds to a picnic table which makes a great spot for sitting back and taking in the stunning views of the surrounding fells.
