Description
What3Words ///trail.pixel.loafer
Description Enjoying outstanding panoramic lake and fell views, this substantial 3 double-bedroomed stone-built cottage is superbly placed on the outskirts of Coniston, close to footpaths leading to the lake shore and to Coniston Old Man. Thought to have once been two cottages (or one cottage plus a barn) this unique home includes a wonderful lounge with separate dining, sitting and sunroom areas plus a kitchen on the ground floor, with 3 double bedrooms and a bathroom above. The paved patio is a delightful area where direct open views of Coniston Water can be enjoyed.
Lake views are perhaps not as commonplace as one might at first imagine in the Lake District, since many of the older stone-built cottages were orientated for convenience and protection from the elements, rather than for an appreciation of the views. This aptly named 'Lake View' terrace is a marked exception to this, as viewers will immediately appreciate.
Coniston Water is very much part and parcel of what defines this extended stone-built cottage and is an integral part of its appeal, but it has more to offer than the views.
As you step through the front door into the main lounge, you could be forgiven for momentarily overlooking the welcoming slate-flagged floor and beamed ceiling, as your eyes will instantly be drawn to the glistening Coniston Water in the valley below and to Monk Coniston Moor and Grizedale Forest beyond. These can be viewed thanks to the semi-open plan design leading into the sunroom by the door. This inclusive design continues through the ground floor as you move into the kitchen, where the two windows offer similarly distracting views (ideal when doing the washing up). The kitchen leads into the dining room which stylishly combines its beamed ceiling with downlighters, and through to the comfortably carpeted sitting area, just two steps down beyond. The design maximises the opportunities to enjoy the views from virtually every point on the ground floor. The only exception is the large, and very useful, understairs cupboard.
The first-floor landing gives access to three double bedrooms, two with lake views and one with countryside views. All the bedrooms have shuttered windows and there are built-in wardrobes in the principal bedroom. The bathroom offers a three-piece suite with a shower over the bath.
Perfect as a spacious family home an idyllically-placed holiday and weekend retreat, or a welcoming holiday let; this is a rare opportunity which should not be missed.
