Property Overview: Located along the scenic Dales Way, this cottage offers immediate access to excellent walking and cycling routes, with numerous local pubs and restaurants to enjoy along the journey. The property boasts stunning views of the river and the Kentmere Fells, providing a peaceful rural setting on the edge of the Lake District National Park. Despite its tranquil location, it remains well-connected to the nearby villages of Staveley and Windermere, the market town of Kendal, and the M6 motorway.

Upon entering this charming property, the entrance porch has ample space for hanging up coats and storing everyday shoes. You are then welcomed into a open-plan living area that seamlessly flows into the kitchen. The living space features attractive flooring and a cosy wood burner set on a tiled hearth, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A window offer a pleasant outlook to the front, filling the room with natural light.

The kitchen is stylish and is fitted with a range of shaker-style wall, base, and drawer units, all complemented by quartz countertops with an inset composite sink with a half bowl and drainer. Modern kitchen appliances include an electric hob with an extractor fan, a built-in oven, a slimline dishwasher, a microwave, and an integrated fridge freezer. Cleverly utilising the space under the stairs, fitted shelves and cupboards match the kitchen units, offering additional storage. The kitchen also provides a view of the rear yard, with a door leading outside.

A door from the kitchen leads to a convenient cloakroom, equipped with a washing machine, a W.C, and a wash hand basin. This space is practical for everyday needs.

As you ascend the stairs, you reach a landing that provides access to a boarded loft, offering additional storage potential. An over-stairs airing cupboard houses the Valliant boiler.

The main bedroom is a bright and spacious double room, looking out on to the River Kent and across the Valley over to Potter Fell. The second bedroom overlooks the rear patio and seating area. This versatile space can be used as a single bedroom, a study, or even a storage room, depending on your needs.

The bathroom is tastefully decorated, featuring a modern three-piece suite, including a P-shaped panel bath with a shower overhead, a wash hand basin, and a WC.

At the end of the terrace, there is a carport, one of four available. Additionally, the property benefits from a parking space in the private, communal parking area at the front with a view overlooking the weir.

The cottage also features a private, compact patio area at the rear, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the tranquility.
