Occupying a spot in Ullswater, Cumbria, this charming Lakeland miner's cottage offers a serene getaway for two. Set in a secluded wooded enclave, this traditionally built property is part of a terrace of stone cottages dating back to the mid-1800s. The cottage has been recently renovated with care and attention, ensuring it retains its historical charm while providing modern comforts. Situated half a mile from the road alongside Ullswater, it boasts stunning views of the lake and is bordered by the picturesque Glencoyne valley and the slopes of Sheffield Pike that lead to Helvellyn.
Accessed via an unmade woodland track, the cottage welcomes you through a quaint porch into a well-equipped kitchen/boot room.
