Mell Fell View Cottage is a charming 18th Century property nestled on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Penruddock, within the stunning Lake District National Park in Penrith, Cumbria. This meticulously renovated cottage offers a blend of character and modern comforts, accommodating up to four guests in its two cozy bedrooms. Its elevated position at the end of a private lane provides breathtaking wrap-around views of the surrounding landscapes, including Blencathra, Helvellyn, Ullswater Fells, and the Pennines, making it an ideal retreat for families and couples seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
The cottage features a large, fully equipped modern kitchen complete with a dining table for four, allowing guests to enjoy meals while taking in the spectacular countryside vistas. A separate utility room adds convenience with its WC, washing machine, tumble dryer, and sink unit, which leads directly to the rear garden. The spacious living room is designed for comfort, furnished with cozy sofas and a living flame gas fire, ensuring a warm atmosphere. Entertainment options include a Smart TV, Freeview, DVD player, and WiFi, while a walk-in storage area under the stairs provides additional practicality.
Upstairs, guests will find two comfortable bedrooms—one double and one twin—along with a Jack and Jill bathroom featuring a bath and overhead shower. Outside, the property boasts a large wrap-around garden complete with a secluded dry stone walled terrace, a spacious lawn at the rear, and a smaller lawn at the front. Off-road parking is available for up to three cars. However, the cottage is not suitable for children under four years of age due to the elevated terrace, and amenities such as stairgates, travel cots, or highchairs are not provided.
Situated in a serene location yet conveniently close to local attractions, the cottage is just half a mile from a village pub and offers numerous walking and cycling opportunities. Nearby points of interest include Greystoke Village, Ullswater Lake, and the Rheged Visitor Centre, all within a few miles. Guests can explore the natural beauty of the Lake District National Park or partake in activities like game walks and birdwatching. The property is a second home for the owners, who will not be present during guests' stay, ensuring exclusive use of the cottage and grounds. With a minimum age requirement of 18 and a policy allowing one well-behaved dog, Mell Fell View Cottage promises a delightful getaway for those seeking a peaceful rural escape.
