Video tours
We invite you to take a closer look at this spacious family home, with stunning south facing fell view backdrop, this imposing stand alone stone property offers three reception rooms, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and integral garage and workshop and sits in just under half an acre in a highly desirable village.
Rosley Cottage is steeped in history and features in a local history book called ‘Rosley Remembers’ which fondly recalls three siblings residing in the property, in the mid to latter half of the 20th century and at this time the property had no electricity, running water and the floors were flagstone and polished earth. A dwelling has occupied this site since the mid 18th century and has been the home and workplace of the local blacksmith, the garage shows evidence of the blacksmith’s chimneys and outside the garage the original “horse mounting stone” is still evident. A local historian has visited the garden and with a metal detector found a number of coins the oldest dating to 1797, also a lot of forged components such as hinges and bolts, the most interesting find was musket balls!
The current owners enjoy the privacy this charming home affords them, with the only ‘neighbours’ being sheep and cows grazing in the field behind. It is an ideal location for nature lovers and from the sun room the owners often see deer, buzzards and other birds of prey, barn owls, woodpeckers, plus a wide array of other garden birds and on occasion red squirrels and hares.
The south facing patio and sun room are ideally positioned to allow you to appreciate the wonderful view of High Pike and the northern fells. The fells and Caldbeck common are walkable from your doorstep for keen walkers.
