A traditional but contemporary-style cottage, with lots of quirky features, only 1 mile from the market town of Penrith and 3 miles from the Lake District. Lovely walks and pubs on your doorstep.
Located on a main road, 1-mile from Penrith, sits this contemporary-style cottage. With easy access to the nearby northern Lakes, it’s an ideal base for a family who wants to explore the outdoors. With great dog-walking routes straight from the doorstep, you and your pet can enjoy peaceful morning and evening walks across the local field and down by the river.
The ground floor is thoroughly attractive with original beams, a wooden floor, and ambient lighting. Take it easy in the lounge, with its huge corner sofa and chair, or enjoy a sociable meal at the table that seats four people. There’s ample space for your canine companion to stretch out and relax, and two wood burners keep everything cosy on chillier nights. A kitted-out kitchen overlooks the enclosed garden so you can prepare delicious meals while your pup runs free outside. Upstairs, the property’s elegant whitewashed walls sweep through to the two bedrooms. The bedrooms feature a king-size bed and twin beds and both are light and airy with chic furnishings. From the twin bedroom, a secure ladder leads up to a secret snug area under the eaves. Children will love this den-like area as they can stargaze through the Velux window at night. There’s also a family bathroom on this floor. Outside, there is an enclosed garden. While the children play on the lawn with the dog, you can sit at the patio table or relax in the private hot tub.
The historic market town of Penrith is 1 mile away and is packed full of independent shops, restaurants, and dog-friendly pubs. For a day out rambling across fells and peaks, head 3 miles to the Lake District National Park or enjoy a more leisurely walk beside the lake at Ullswater just 5 miles away. Aira Force, 11 miles from the property, will also get tails wagging with its dramatic waterfall and epic views.
