Above it is the Garage with double opening doors. The 'Workshop' is a portion of the stone barn which stands just beyond the house and has power and light. To the rear is an attractive and good sized rockery style garden with some pleasant and well established plants and shrubs. A low maintenance garden, mainly laid to lawn with a mature tree to partially frame the splendid view and a super, paved, sunny Lakeland slate patio with direct access from the house which makes an enviable spot for al-fresco dining, a chilled glass of wine or two or simply somewhere to sit and soak up the wonderment of your surroundings. There are 2 Bathrooms, one to the front and one to the rear, both with white suites and showers over the bath.Įxternally the Gardens do not disappoint and in our opinion are perfectly proportioned. The remaining double Bedroom is also well proportioned and has a dual aspect enjoying super views to the side and rear and also has a recessed wardrobe. There are 3 double Bedrooms located to the front so of course all enjoy those superb views - two having recessed wardrobes and the master being larger than average. The stairs lead out of the Kitchen to the First Floor with cottage style latch handle doors to the Bedrooms and Bathrooms. The main Lounge is spacious and light - ideal for family gatherings, with a dual aspect from the twin windows to the side and French doors accessing the patio and similar, wonderful views. There is a half glazed external door and access to the Ground Floor Shower Room.įrom the Kitchen, in the other direction, is the Sitting Room/Snug - exactly what you would imagine - cosy and inviting with dual aspect windows, attractive wood panelled walls, those splendid views and an open fire with stone surround and hearth. The Breakfast Kitchen is at the very heart of the home (like all good kitchens) and you could be forgiven for overlooking the rustic charm, the farm house feel, the original floor boards, wood burning stove, exposed beam, the chunky, soft grey painted kitchen cabinets with granite worksurface, large range cooker and Belfast sink because the view, through the window and French doors is simply sublime and changes every few minutes with the light and weather! Just stunning! Off the Kitchen is a walk-in Pantry with plumbing for dishwasher and Utility Room with cream cabinets, oil central heating boiler and plumbing for washing machine. A part glazed internal door gives you the first glimpse of the stunning view through the French doors directly opposite. The main door opens to a useful porch with ceramic tiled floor - ideal for muddy boots and wet coats. So clearly, not only is High Ground Cottage a wonderful home it is also a great business with excellent potential to increase income if you can bear to let it for longer! The current vendors have owned, loved and improved the property over the last 20 years and have shared it with others by opening it up to holiday letting which generated approx £31,500 in 2021. It is very easy to get lost in romantic thoughts of Christmases here, cosy winter evenings with the fire and stove lit, candles burning, slightly misted windows and being snuggled on the sofa with a blanket and lovely glass of red wine, or long summer evenings on the patio, entertaining friends. The cottage is in a secluded and tranquil setting within the Lake District National Park which is wonderful in itself but it is fair to say the main headline, the showstopper, is the most magnificent, open, mountain views - they simply have to be seen to be believed from all the lovely, deep set cottage windows! Views over Birker Fell to Scafell Pike, Esk Pike, Crinkle Crag, Great Gable, Red Pikes and many more. This detached Lakeland Cottage (complete with roses around the door) is spacious (much more spacious than one might expect - in-fact more of a farmhouse really!), warm and welcoming and has a high level of character and charm but benefits from the comforts and luxuries expected in this modern day - the very best of both worlds! Description It is difficult to put into words just how special and unique High Ground Cottage actually is.
