The Property
The Cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a rural escape within a small hamlet of properties converted from the original farm buildings. This spacious two-storey barn conversion is nestled in the glorious Cumbrian countryside of the south-western Lakes. Currently operated as a successful business, The Cottage provides a wealth of opportunities to relax in style or explore the idyllic surroundings. Beautifully renovated, The Cottage features elegant and tasteful colour schemes throughout, complemented by characterful touches such as exposed beams.

The sitting room provides a welcoming and relaxing space, enhanced by the French doors that flood the room with natural light. The kitchen and dining room benefits from modern appliances, including an induction hob, combi microwave oven and grill, fridge freezer, and dishwasher, along with a Belfast sink and ample space for casual dining. There are two bedrooms, each appointed in classic and graceful fashion, both benefiting from en-suite shower rooms.

Externally
The Cottage offers spectacular views down to the Irish Sea and the Duddon Estuary. An enclosed outdoor spa hot tub area, complete with massage jets and feature lighting, is positioned to make the most of these remarkable views.

The property also benefits from dedicated parking.
