Built in the 1930's by renowned local builders Pattinsons, this handsome traditional Lakeland stone 'cottage' is wrapped in three quarters of an acre of beautiful garden and woodland. This spacious 4-bedroom home is crammed with original features that add to the homely warmth and charm. With boundless potential both inside and out Tower View Cottage is an incredible opportunity that won't be available for long.

One of the beauties of Tower View Cottage is the ability for the next owner to put their own stamp on it. Completely move-in ready you can simply redecorate or put pen to paper and create your dream home with an extension, subject to planning.

Pull off the A592 Newby Bridge Road and take a left making your way up the driveway to find space for numerous cars. In addition, a dedicated carport provides excellent undercover parking.

To the right-hand side of the home take the stone steps up to the front door and make your way into the porch - a convenient spot to doff your boots and coats.

A large living room spans the width of the home with triple aspect windows to front, rear and side. The large grided, floor to ceiling window transforms the space letting the light flood through and offering picturesque views of the garden.

A room of two halves where you can have downtime, reading beside the roaring fire complete with the original marble surround and to the other, snuggle up on a sumptuous sofa and relish in family movie nights. Note the built-in cupboard where possessions can be showcased and the beams overhead that add depth and character to the room.

Journey into the hallway and turn left into the dining room. Character continues with traditional red and black ceramic quarry tiles extending underfoot and the authentic stove cooking range fitted in the fireplace alcove. These original features are timeless and make for a cosy spot for candlelit dinner parties but also busy weekday meals.

Move across the hallway and into the kitchen. Upper and lower cabinetry provide ample space for pots, pans, glassware, tins and packets to be hidden away. A rear porch is ideal for storing gardening shoes as well as being the useful for children to wipe their shoes after spending hours exploring the garden.

Keep coats, shoes and bags in the convenient and spacious cupboards, found under the stairs.

Ascend the staircase taking note of the ceiling height that stretches above you; combine this with the large window on the half-turn, and you are met with a bright and airy first floor. A large landing leads to the 4 bedrooms but first enter the capacious family bathroom to the left.

There is room for a bath, separate shower, heated towel rail, wash hand basin and WC it's an ideal size for a family. Linen, towels and toiletries can be stored easily in the built-in cupboard.

For those working from home then the fourth bedroom, that would be ideal as a study, can be found next door. As this is adjacent to one of the large double bedrooms it could also be used as a dressing room or knocked through to create an en-suite.

This bedroom and the further two capacious double bedrooms, found across the large landing, all boast beautiful original fireplaces, large secondary glazed windows and plenty of space for furniture to store away clothing. Tonnes of natural light floods in through the apertures creating calming spots to retreat to and relax in.

Be captivated by the peace and tranquillity of the beautiful gardens that envelope the home. The well-established gardens are home to a beautiful variety of plants and shrubs.

To the front, perpendicular to the road, lies an extensive lawn enhanced with shrubs and foliage throughout the year. Come spring, watch as the floral colours bound into life. In the winter, as the leaves fall from the trees, see even more of the dramatic lake views emerge beyond - quite a spectacular vista to behold.

The drive doubles up as a spacious terrace where BBQs and large parties can be hosted. Behind the home lush green grass grows on a tiered garden, edged in Lakeland stone and surrounded by the mature oaks, sycamores and evergreens. One could create a private spot for dining alfresco or pop a hot tub on one of the levels and bask in this luxurious sanctuary.

Take the steps at the top of the plot and rest on the bench with a glass of something cold as you observe life on the lake gliding past. Storage and potential are in abundance at Tower View Cottage. Outside discover a standalone shed, an integral toilet, large storeroom and workshop all leading from the carport which creates a fantastic all-weather shelter for tinkering on motor vehicles and an ideal spot to for BBQs if the Lake District drizzle comes in!
