Back in the village, find a useful convenience store and a welcoming pub both within half a mile of the front door. Brimming with period charm, this delightful cottage makes a welcoming home from home for families and four legged friends. The traditional kitchen is compact yet light and looks out onto the Miterdale Forest. Here you will find an oven with ceramic hobs, a dishwasher, fridge and freezer, while a traditional larder houses the microwave and washing machine. Once prepared, enjoy meals overlooking the garden in the separate dining room, where a warming wood burner sits within a stone fireplace. Full of charm with its parquet flooring, stone mullion window and open fireplace, and the later additions of a TV and DVD player, the lounge is a wonderful space for relaxing. Upstairs are three charming bedrooms: one double with a feature fireplace and views up the Miterdale Valley, one single overlooking the fields, and one super king size with a feature fireplace and large windows overlooking the front garden and Muncaster Fell. The bedrooms share a bathroom with an electric shower over the bath. Outside, the large mature garden boasts lawns, beautifully stocked borders and garden furniture, great for making the most of sunny days. There is parking for two cars.
