Glenridding, Penrith, CA11

A rare opportunity to acquire this charming two-bedroom detached stone cottage, set in an elevated position offering stunning views over Ullswater. Nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park, this historic property has only changed owners a handful of times, with its last sale believed to date back to circa 1940.

Eagle Cottage underwent a sensitive refurbishment in 2014, blending modern comforts with its traditional charm and boasts an attractive garden, seamlessly complementing the rugged beauty of the surrounding landscape with this quintessential Lakeland dwelling.

The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming entrance hall with access to a WC and utility, along with a front aspect living room, with a beautiful wood burning stove and a spacious dining room which leads through to a well equipped kitchen. An external door from the kitchen leads out to the side of the property to where the wood store and outhouse are situated. To the first floor, there are two good sized bedrooms, one of which is a generous principal bedroom enjoying a fabulous outlook, and the other which sits to the rear and is currently a twin bedroom, along with a contemporary family bathroom.

Externally, and discreetly tucked to one side of the property are two useful outhouses, one of which is currently used for storage with space for recycling and outdoor equipment, and the second as an excellent wood store. Both benefit by being accessible from under a covered canopy porch. An additional parcel of land to the rear included within the sale, currently left to wilding, offers potential for further landscaping and use.

Currently operating as a highly successful holiday let, this versatile property would equally make a wonderful permanent home or idyllic retreat. A rare gem in a stunning location, this cottage offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Lake District heritage.
