3 bedroom terraced house

Location Delightfully positioned in the small and pretty village of Glenridding, close to Ullswater and at the foot of Helvellyn, this lovely stone built cottage is ideally placed for immediate access to the Lakeland fells. 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, bear left adjacent to the public car park into Greenside Road signposted for the Travellers Rest. Take the next left passing Fairlight Café and Guesthouse and Stybarrow Terrace can be found a short distance along on the left hand side. There is roadside car parking here.  

Description From humble origins as a miners cottage, built from locally hewn stone and slate, Keldas View Cottage has evolved into a superbly welcoming home, simply perfect whether you are seeking a popular holiday let, an idyllic weekend retreat or a delightful permanent residence. That evolution has not occurred simply by chance of course, but has followed a carefully thought out and splendidly executed plan which has led to the creation of a truly superb property.

Admittedly the cottage enjoyed a very good starting point. Beautiful Ullswater is just down the lane, Helvellyn and its accompanying fells are just up the valley, the local Inn is just a hop, skip and a jump away, whilst the local village shops and stores provide for your every day needs. Superb views are enjoyed in all directions - the fells on display include (naturally enough) Keldas, but also Place Fell, Angle Tarn Pikes, Birkhouse Moor, Glenridding Dodd and Heron Pike to name but a few. If you are feeling cheeky and pop your head out of the Velux roof lights and look east you can even catch a glimpse of the glistening water of Ullswater itself!

Substantial yet sympathetic extensions, barely anticipated from the roadside, have created a unique three storey home. Entered via a welcoming living room with its beamed ceiling and open fire the cottage also includes a family kitchen and a cloak room on the ground floor.The first floor includes two double bedrooms and the four piece bathroom whilst the top floor offers that "wow factor" bedroom suite with a sitting area giving access to the large south facing balcony (with yet more wonderful views) and to the adjoining double bedroom. This suite could readily be sub-divided into two bedrooms if desired (that is if you don't mind dealing with the arguments as to gets to enjoy the bedroom with the balcony of course).

There are lovely south facing gardens, again with panoramic views and two very useful stores, perfect for garden furniture, out door equipment, bikes, canoes etc.

The dream holiday let, an idyllic weekend retreat or the perfect permanent residence (the garden store may even have home office potential) - the choice is yours. Come and see for yourself.
