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.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
