Upstairs there are two generous bedrooms, both enjoying a stunning outlook over the rolling Cumbrian Fells, and a study area with an outlook to the side. There is a sizable house bathroom with bath, wc and wash hand basin, and excellent storage to one wall.

Adjoining the house are two stone outbuildings currently used for excellent storage. The larger of the two offers great potential for conversion into a spacious studio or workshop.

The gardens are a true highlight of the property, bursting with seasonal colour, mature planting and space to relax and enjoy the surrounding views. The gardens are encompassed by dry stone walling, adding to the landscape backdrop of the home. There is a parking area immediately off the roadside which leads to a path leads which continues through the cottage style gardens.

This charming character home offers not only beautiful gardens and breath-taking scenery but also the potential to make it truly your own.
