Location To reach the property from Ambleside take the Kirkstone road from the mini roundabout at the northern end of town and continue up the hill to the T junction opposite the Kirkstone Pass Inn. Turn left, proceeding down the Kirkstone Pass passing both Brotherswater and Patterdale and on reaching Glenridding itself, on passing The Glenridding Hotel and after the entrance to the public car park, turn left into Greenside Road signposted for the Travellers Rest. Take the next left passing Fairlight Café and Guesthouse, continuing just beyond The Travellers Rest, with 5 High Glenridding found a short distance along on the left hand side shortly before reaching the bridleway at the head of the lane.
Description This really is a truly unique opportunity in beautiful Glenridding. Sitting well above Glenridding Beck and enjoying a wonderful 90 M of river frontage, this attractive stone built end of terrace cottage possibly offers everything you might desire in a Lakeland home - whether you are seeking an idyllic permanent residence, a superbly placed holiday let or relaxing weekend retreat.
Yes, the cottage would now stand some updating. Some may wish to introduce central heating and update the kitchen and the shower room for example, some might even wish to consider extending the accommodation or create a home office in the grounds, subject to any necessary consents being obtained of course, but without the basic ingredients, would the effort be worth it? Well, depending on your definition of what those basic ingredients might be, we think that Field View has it all. Superb fell views required? Absolutely. Sheffield Pike, Raise and Birkhouse Moor are amongst the panorama of fells on view. Immediate access on foot to a whole host of walks? The whole Helvellyn mountain range is virtually on your doorstep and the lake shore just a short stroll down the hill. A village and pub within reach? All just a hop skip and a jump away. A bit of land of your own? One and a half acres with 90 meters of river frontage onto Glenridding Beck should do it. This land also offers great potential and currently houses a variety of workshops and stores, a car port and even a sheet metal barn.
The cottage itself includes a porch, sitting room, kitchen and conservatory on the ground floor, a double bedroom and a shower room on the first floor with an attic bedroom above, all with wonderful views. There is a small stone built annex outhouse which houses a store/office with a WC amongst the outbuildings.
A unique opportunity - do not miss out.
