Tucked away in the southern tip of the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this traditional and homely two-bedroom property is perfect for a quiet getaway by the coast with Carlisle and the Lake District within reach. Fido will be happy to find this cottage has a small garden and a wood burner to curl up in front of. This two-storey property has a subtle coastal theme throughout and is located on a cobblestone street.
Step inside this end-of-terrace cottage to find a cosy blue lounge with two leather sofas and an eye-catching exposed stone inglenook fireplace with a wood burner. Move through to the neutral-toned kitchen/diner with blue-fitted units and a white-washed wooden ceiling. There is also a fold-away wooden dining table for four. Around the corner from the kitchen is a convenient utility room. Climb the stairs to reach a family bathroom with a shower over the bath plus two bedrooms – a king-size and a double, both with elegant metal bed frames. Outside is an enclosed patio garden with furniture. There is on-street parking near the property or free parking in the village car park (150 metres).
