This superb, semi-detached house enjoys an enviable position within the quaint (and hilly!) hamlet of Troutbeck, perched at the top of the hill to take full advantage of the breathtaking views across the valley towards Lake Windermere. With two king-size bedrooms, it's ideal for one or two couples, or perhaps a small family. Troutbeck is home to two popular pubs, and lies in a fabulous position for exploring the spectacular landscapes of the Lake District National Park, including Wansfell Pike and Troutbeck Tongue, both accessible from your door. The busier resorts of Windemere, Ambleside and Bowness are all less than 5 miles away, offering the chance for scenic cruises, visiting a Roman fort or admiring incredible waterfalls. For adventure-seekers, Zip World Windermere is 2.5 miles away, while if you prefer a more sedate day out you could visit Blackwell, the Arts & Crafts House, 6 miles away.
Stylish, comfortable and welcoming, the house has a reverse-level layout to make the most of its superb views. From the parking area, a flight of slate steps (of different sizes) takes you to the patio and entrance porch. The large hallway has plenty of storage space for all your coats and gear, with extra hanging space in the boiler room, where there is also a washing machine tucked away. Two beautiful king-size bedrooms occupy the ground floor, one with doors leading out onto the patio. Both bedrooms enjoy a sleek, en-suite bathroom, with a powerful shower over the bath and WC. Head up the stairs to the first-floor, open-plan living space, where you're greeted by two large windows which frame the amazing views towards the lake and fells beyond. The comfortable sofas and chairs are arranged around a flame-effect electric fire and a TV, the contemporary styling complementing the rugged exposed beams. There's a relaxed dining area off the lounge and, to the other side, a bright, modern kitchen with plenty of work space and appliances.
The spacious garden (at ground level) is mostly laid to lawn and also includes a large, suntrap patio, furnished for everyone to spread out and relax. At the side of the cottage, private parking for two cars is available.
