Cottage in Cumbria

Ideally placed to make the most of the western Lake District fells and Cumbrian coastline, this delightful property is a great choice for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers alike. The village of Holmrook is home to a diner, pub and Post Office, while nearby Ravenglass, just 3 miles away, boasts a narrow gauge steam railway that runs up to the fells at Eskdale. Jump in the car and head 3 miles west for Drigg Beach, a paradise for birdwatchers with its wildlife rich dune system. Or head inland to take on one of the Lakeland peaks including the mighty Scafell Pike. Other nearby attractions include Muncaster Castle, 4 miles away and the Georgian harbour town of Whitehaven, 15 miles away. Once a machinery garage, this unique property is now a spacious and light family home with thoughtful attention to detail throughout. An entrance hallway leads to the open plan lounge/diner where there is a table to seat six. Light and airy with inviting sofas, a TV and DVD player and French doors opening onto the patio, this is a homely space for spending time together as a group. Prepare family meals in the good sized kitchen, which is equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Also on the ground floor is a twin bedroom with en suite shower room. Upstairs, a master bedroom with king size bed and an elegant double with skylight windows share a spacious bathroom with separate shower. Step outside to enjoy the beautiful, sheltered garden with dining furniture and wonderful uninterrupted views over the Irt Valley. Beyond this lies 8.5 acres of private wild woodland with twisting paths leading down to the River Irt, perfect for exploring while keeping an eye out for wildlife along the way. There is parking for up to four cars.
