Within metres of Lake Windermere, this Grade II-listed cottage is a well-placed base for friends or family exploring the Lake District. Original flagged floors, exposed beams and centuries-old details give it a strong sense of history, while its setting offers easy access to the area's attractions.
Inside, the cottage balances period character with everyday comfort. Stone flag floors, sash windows, panelled doors and exposed beams feature throughout, matched with understated interiors. The snug includes a wood burner and Smart TV, while the main lounge provides additional seating, a second wood burner and a Smart TV with soundbar. Window seats in both rooms look out over the surroundings. The kitchen is equipped for self-catering stays, and a separate utility room contains a washing machine and freezer. In the dining room, an antique dresser and ornamental range cooker add period interest. Upstairs, three bedrooms continue the traditional style, with quality linens and original features. A family bathroom with a roll-top cast iron bath and shower attachment completes the first floor. Outside, the wraparound garden extends to almost half an acre, with lawns, mature planting and a fenced stream. Several seating areas make the most of the views towards Lake Windermere. A garage offers secure bike storage, and there is private parking for two cars, with additional roadside parking nearby subject to availability.
Walk or cycle from the door along lakeside paths and rural trails. Far Sawrey's pub is less than a mile away, and Hill Top, the former home of Beatrix Potter, is 1.5 miles from the cottage.

For roaming further afield, the ferry at Windermere Ferry, 1 mile away, connects you to Bowness-on-Windermere, where you can visit the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and Blackwell - The Arts & Crafts House.
