Offering a perfect blend of original charm and modern creature comforts, this attractive cottage promises a tranquil Lake District stay for couples, friends or families. You'll find the property in the vibrant holiday destination of Windermere, just a few metres from the train station, making it an ideal choice for those visiting without a car. Within easy walking distance, discover tearooms, pubs and independently owned shops, along with the shores of Lake Windermere, just 1 mile away. As the National Park's largest lake, it offers all kinds of thrilling activities, including steamer boat trips, water sports, lakeside hikes and endless opportunities for cycling. Bring your bikes along or rent one in town and set off exploring. Make your way up Orrest Head (0.5 miles) to admire panoramic views or visit Bowness (1.5 miles) or Ambleside (4.5 miles), each easily reached on foot or by a short drive.

Exuding traditional charm, this terraced cottage features stable doors, original wooden floorboards and exposed beams throughout, complemented by bright, stylish décor. Pass through the gravelled seating area on entry and head straight into the lounge, with plenty of comfortable seating for four. A wood burner lends a cosy glow to the space, and there's a TV to enjoy once the day's adventures are done. From here, move into the kitchen, a welcoming dine-in space with ample room for preparing packed lunches or rustling up something tasty for dinner. Both bedrooms are accessed via a flight of traditional cottage stairs: one king-size and one cosy twin. Each offers generous storage, soft linens and a restful ambience for a good night's sleep. They share a gleaming family bathroom, completing the interior.

Along with a small bistro set at the front of the house, the property benefits from an enclosed rear yard for sunny days. Enjoy morning coffee or an evening sundowner outside, choosing front or back depending on where the sun falls. A parking permit is provided for a nearby car park.
