Picturesque North Lakes Location Near Ullswater
Set within the dramatic landscapes of the North Lake District National Park near Penrith, this charming detached country cottage offers breathtaking views across open fields and rolling fells. Just 2 miles away lies the vibrant village of Pooley Bridge on the shores of Lake Ullswater, home to traditional Cumbrian pubs, waterside cafes, and independent shops. Board an iconic Ullswater Steamer from Pooley Bridge to Howtown and enjoy the famous lakeside walk back to Glenridding—one of Wordsworth’s favorite routes with views toward Helvellyn. Explore nearby historic gems including Dalemain Mansion & Historic Gardens and the magnificent Aira Force Waterfall (8 miles), set in ancient woodland glades.
Characterful Interiors & Social Living Spaces
Blending authentic Cumbrian heritage with modern comfort, the cottage is thoughtfully arranged for families and friend groups:
Open-Plan Living & Dining: Featuring parquet flooring, original exposed timber beams, and a roaring wood burner, the sociable main living space includes comfortable seating, a Smart TV, and direct garden access.
Fully Equipped Kitchen: Outfitted with everything needed for hearty group breakfasts and evening feasts, featuring its own dining setup and dedicated Smart TV.
Panoramic Sunroom: Built with practical stone flooring, this light-filled room is perfect for wiping down muddy dogs after a long hike, reading a book, or sipping wine while taking in views of the surrounding countryside.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms: A ground-floor bathroom sits just off the entrance hallway (equipped with coat and boot storage). Upstairs, past a second full bathroom, the landing leads to three peaceful bedrooms—one king-size, one double, and one twin—each offering idyllic rural views.
Enclosed Private Garden & Luxury Hot Tub
Stepping out from either the lounge or sunroom reveals a spacious, fully enclosed private garden where children and pets can roam safely. Unwind on the paved patio equipped with outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ for al fresco dining, or sink into the private hot tub to soak in the tranquil countryside scenery and starry night skies.
