Beatrix Potter's former Lake District home, an 18th Century Grade II Listed cottage situated in a rural location, set within beautiful gardens with fell views.
Description
On behalf of the National Trust, we are offering a truly unique opportunity to live in Castle Cottage, which was the main Lake District home of Beatrix Potter after her marriage to William Heelis in 1913.
This charming 18th Century Grade II Listed cottage offers spacious accommodation including five bedrooms and ample storage provided by the traditional outbuildings. The property sits in a hidden corner of the quaint village of Near Sawrey and enjoys stunning south facing views, as well as quick access to some of the most picturesque locations in the Lake District.
Extensive gardens surround the house and they include delightful south facing seating areas, with lawns that extend to the front of the property, interspersed with pathways, flower beds and shrubs. To the west side of the property, separating the large barn from the main house, is the driveway and a gravelled area that can be used for parking.
The property is served by a shared driveway with
gates at the entrance to the property and opens to a private parking area.
Restrictions
• The property is to be lived in as a main residence.
• The gardens are to be available to be opened publically, at agreed times with The National Trust.
• The letting includes four chattels belonging to The National Trust, which must not be damaged or removed from the property.
Tenants must seek the Landlord’s permission for any animals or birds to be kept at the property.
The property is available under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy for an initial term of 2 years. Long term tenants are preferred.
Viewings strictly by appointment only. A pre-viewing questionnaire will be issued and will need to be completed and returned before a viewing appointment is given.
