Location The property is located near to Dove Cottage (William Wordsworth's former home) and is therefore within reasonably level walking distance of Grasmere village centre. A door to the property is found on the left hand side of the little lane which leads towards Dove Cottage from the main Ambleside to Grasmere road, shortly before reaching the mini roundabout (if approaching from the direction of Ambleside).
Description You will probably not have seen a cottage quite like Poet's Corner before. Its unique design is as welcoming and comfortable as you could wish for. Entered via double doors into the well equipped ground floor dining kitchen you will find a small inner hall at the rear. Beyond this (and currently with external access only) is an integral store which must offer potential for extension if desired (subject to any necessary consents being obtained) although the accommodation is splendid just as it is. For those with outdoor gear, bikes, canoes etc , the store is a real bonus as it is and is a safe place to keep them secure immediately ready for your weekend visit.
On the first floor is the lovely living room, complete with its cosy log burner, along with the double bedroom and modern shower room. There are no real gardening concerns to keep you from enjoying the National Park in all its glory, although there is a very private courtyard perfect for a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. You can stroll from the door and be in the centre of Grasmere village in minutes, hiking the high fells or ambling along the lake shore without having to trouble the car.
The property is currently a very popular holiday let with Lakelovers and the current owners have chosen to provide a car parking permit for their guests for the nearby public car park on Stock Lane for convenience.
A wonderful opportunity in the very heart of the Lake District National Park. Don't miss out!
