Rowan Cottage, 3 Far Sawrey Cottages, Far Sawrey, Cumbria, LA22 0LH

Quietly situated yet within reach of the central Lakes (and a short stroll from the pub) this 3 storey mid terrace stone built cottage is utterly charming - a peaceful and welcoming haven surrounded by beautiful scenery. Having characterful exposed beams, the cottage includes a welcoming sitting room, a spacious family kitchen, 3 lovely bedrooms (one being en suite) and a house bathroom all spread over three floors. To the rear is a tiered garden with patio, lawn and a stone store.

A canopy porch sets the scene, welcoming you into the cosy sitting room, full of character with its arched shaped glass panelled window, integrated glass fronted display cabinet with cupboard beneath, and wood burning stove set within an inglenook style fireplace. A lovely room in which to gather with friends and family.

The family kitchen just beyond with its tiled floor and part tiled walls is bright and airy, having country style wall and base units and complementary work surfaces incorporating a sink and a half with mixer tap. Integrated appliances include a Belling four ring ceramic hob, and a Lamona oven with extractor over. There is space and plumbing provision for a slimline dishwasher, and an automatic washing machine. An under stair cupboard with light point provides useful storage for larger items.

The dining area is positioned in front of the glazed patio doors to the garden, letting natural light stream in, it is bright and cheerful - perfect for family meals.

The rear porch with external door to the garden doubles up as a utility area making clever use of a deep cupboard which has provision for a tumble dryer.

The main bedroom and its en suite shower room are on the first floor. An enchanting and charming room with picture rail and its window seat having views to St Peters, the village church. What a lovely spot to sit quietly and read, whilst looking out watching the world go by. Benefitting from 3 floor to ceiling built in wardrobes. The ensuite shower room has tiled walls and a modern three piece suite comprising a curved unit with Mira shower, WC and wash basin with stylish light and mirror above. Also having a heated ladder style towel rail/radiator. Also situated on this floor is the house bathroom with tiled walls and countryside views. The three piece suite comprises a panel bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin and WC.

The landing features an exposed beam and stairs lead to the second floor and the further two bedrooms. The second double, currently in use as a twin, has views to the church from the dormer window, integrated wardrobes and under eaves storage cupboard. The smaller single bedroom also in the eaves has characterful exposed timber beam and a dormer window.

Outside is a rear yard with coal store, and slate steps leading to a patio area enjoying countryside views - a great spot for a summer barbecue should the weather allow. This all supplemented by an area set to lawn and edged with well stocked beds and borders, with a garden gate providing direct access to the off road parking space at the rear. Additionally there is an outdoor store (1.97m x 1.87m) ideal for storage of gardening equipment.
