Description: A charming 2 bedroomed cottage (1 en-suite) with private parking, front patio and adjoining garden area.
A perfect holiday retreat in the picturesque Lakeland village of Troutbeck with stunning views across the valley. The property has been well looked after by the current owners and is ready to use and enjoy.
Location: Troutbeck is a pretty village which runs along the side of the valley below the summit of the Kirkstone Pass. There is a small shop, cafe and post office, village church and 2 popular country pubs all close by. Still retaining all the characteristics of a Lakeland village and indeed most of the village is a designated conservation area. Beatrix Potter used to live at Troutbeck Park Farm and Jesus Christ Church was built circa. 1736 on the site of a 15th century chapel.

Turn right at 'Cooks House' roundabout, up Patterdale Road passing the village Church and The Queens Head Pub, bearing next left. Follow the road through the village and the gated access to the parking area is on the left hand side.
Property Overview: Applethwaite Cottage has easterly views up the valley. This property has an open plan ground floor. The living room has a wood burning stove on a slate hearth for those cosy nights in and the kitchen has all the modern appliances of integrated Beko electric oven and electric hob with extractor over, built in dishwasher and space for a fridge freezer and washing machine. A cupboard housing the hot water cylinder can be found in the kitchen with a further two handy storage cupboards. On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms (1 en-suite) and both having built in wardrobes, plus house bathroom with WC, inset washbasin with vanity unit and bath with Mira shower over.
