Traditional 19th century semi detached cottage in rural position on the edge of the Lake District National Park with far reaching views of the Lake District fells with the Langdale Pikes in the distance. The cottage is approached down a private drive making it quiet and secluded yet it is only 1 1/2 miles north of the mediaeval market town of Kendal, known as Gateway to the Lakes. The cottage is ideal for exploring Windermere (8 miles), Ambleside (12 miles) and the rest of the central lakes - the Lake District National Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty, one quarter of which is owned by the National Trust. Lake Windermere at 10 1/2 miles is the longest of the 16 lakes and Ambleside is approximately the centre of the Lake District with the lakes radiating out in most directions. The children's author and illustrator, Beatrix Potter, lived in Hawkshead near Windermere and the poet, William Wordsworth lived in Grasmere.

The valleys of Longsleddale and Kentmere are only 4 miles away offering dramatic scenery, good walking and bird watching - buzzards are often seen circling the hills opposite the house.

Ten miles east takes you to Sedbergh and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The Accommodation comprises of Entrance Porch into Hallway with downstairs WC. Fully fitted kitchen with separate dining area with good sized table and four chairs. Large sitting room with open fire in which there is an antique broadwood cottage piano. Upstairs, 1 bedroom with double bed and 1 bedroom with single bed with washbasin. Both the bedrooms have views over open countryside. There is a third bedroom on the second floor but this is used for storage.

The cottage benefits from a private, mature garden with views over open countryside to the Lake District fells and Langdale Pikes in the distance. There is a tarmac hardstanding with ample parking for 2/3 cars. A garden table, 4 chairs and parasol is provided.
