Mardale, Great Urswick, Nr Ulverston, Cumbria, LA12 0SX

Description Mardale Cottage is a sweet, charming, pretty, well presented End Terraced Cottage - with simply wonderful views over Urswick Tarn and to Birkrigg Common beyond. The vendors presentation subtly enhances some charming and original features and has added to the cosy feeling of this relaxing, inviting, and light home.

Passing through the pedestrian gate from the road the first thing to notice is the very pretty front forecourt Garden - currently with beautiful, well tended, colourful pot plants which not only creates a very welcoming first impression but also makes super use of this bijou but delightful, raised, forecourt sitting area.

The front door opens into the Living/Dining Room. A generously proportioned room with dual aspect. Lovely views, between trees to Urswick Tarn and the common beyond with stained glass side window. The front window has a wooden window seat which is a lovely spot to perch and enjoy the view. Cottage style plaster walls, cosy, recessed Morso multi-fuel stove and lovely, bespoke recessed shelving painted in a soft green, making the most of a previous window. The Kitchen is perfectly formed with rear window and stable door. Furnished with a range of cream shaker wall and base cabinets with wood effect work surface. Stainless steel sink, built in electric oven and gas hob. Space for under-counter fridge and plumbing for washing machine.

The stairs lead up to the First Floor Landing where, wonderful, original, pine stripped doors lead to Bedroom 1 and the Bathroom. Bedroom 1 is a well proportioned Double Bedroom with lovely stripped floorboards and recessed mirror fronted wardrobes which also houses the gas central heating boiler. The front window provides the most wonderful views over the village tarn to Birkrigg Common beyond - a real treat to wake up to every morning! The Bathroom has a white suite comprising bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.

From the First Floor Landing stairs lead up to Bedroom 2 which is light and bright with 2 'Velux' roof windows (replaced July 2024) with charming exposed stone wall and lots of useful eaves storage.

Along with the lovely front Forecourt, to the rear is a wedge shaped gravelled area with enough space for a bistro table and chairs and small storage box if required.

Note: To the rear there is pedestrian and vehicular access over the access lane for neighbouring properties.  

Location Great Urswick is a charming village - one within a cluster of delightful Furness Villages. It enjoys a real 'villagey' community feel along with excellent access to the A590 for commuters to Barrow in Furness, perhaps BAE, Ulverston and little further to the base of Lake Windermere. Great Urswick has a picturesque central tarn with fishing and launching for rowing boats and boasts Primary School, Church, Village Hall and Pub/Restaurant. For a wider range of amenities, the lovely Market Town of Ulverston and Barrow in Furness are approximately 10 minutes by car.

To reach the property from Ulverston, proceed through Swarthmoor in the direction of Barrow in Furness. Take the first left (Carley Lane) after the roundabout sign posted Great Urswick. Dropping down into the village, Mardale Cottage is the end cottage on the row raised above and set back from the road on the right hand side with the tarn on your left.
