Escape to the western Lake District with a loved one with this charming cottage for two just half a mile from the shores of Buttermere.
Tucked away in the pretty village of Buttermere, this property is surrounded by stunning windswept mountains and offers fantastic walking opportunities from the leisurely to the extreme. The dramatic ridge of Red Pike, High Stile and High Crag overshadows the lake itself while on the other side of the valley Whiteless Pike, 1 mile away, and Grasmoor, 2.5 miles away, reward their climbers with yet more breath-taking elevated views. Or if you’d rather stay low, follow the footpath that runs around the perimeter of the lake before a restorative bite to eat in one of the two pubs, the cafe or ice cream parlour in the village. Meanwhile, more amenities can be found in nearby Keswick and Cockermouth, both 10 miles away.
Inside, this traditional Lakeland cottage boasts a charming blend of old and new, as original window shutters and antique furniture combine with a cosy wood burner and fresh decor. Cook and dine in the traditional kitchen, where wonderful fell views can be enjoyed from the kitchen sink. This room is equipped with an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dining table for romantic meals for two. The comfortable lounge is an inviting space in which to relax and unwind after a long walk, with a newly-fitted wood burner and Freeview TV. Also on the ground floor is a bathroom with a separate shower and separate WC. Meanwhile, on the first floor, a light and airy double bedroom is furnished with antique furniture and a reading room is a peaceful space to relax on a rainy afternoon.
Opposite the cottage, an enclosed garden with a large lawn and magnificent fell views is perfect for romantic picnics. There is parking for two cars to the front of the cottage.
