Location From our office in Ambleside, head north on the A591 to Grasmere, passing Rydal Water and Grasmere Lake along the way. Upon reaching the mini-roundabout near Dove Cottage (Wordsworth's former home), take the first exit and continue through the village centre, passing St Oswald's Church, and then take the left hand turn before reaching The Inn at Grasmere and the cottage is found on the right just before reaching Langdale Road. There is plenty of car parking provision within the village, including short-stay parking beside the nearby Green. 

Description This attractive stone built semi-detached home is as pretty as a picture and is full of welcoming charm, from its traditional range in the south facing sitting room (now retained only really for aesthetic purposes) to the traditional cottage doors - it just feels right from the instant you step over the threshold.

Talking of which - you could step straight back out again and amble through the historic and beautiful village centre in minutes, relaxing in one of its many highly regarded traditional Inns, dining in a delightful café or restaurant or indulging in a spot of retail therapy, all without needing the car. Similarly, you could be hiking the high fells, strolling alongside beautiful rivers and waterfalls, or even taking a dip in the lake - all are equally accessible on foot from that very same threshold.

The accommodation is bright and well balanced with a south facing sitting room and a breakfast kitchen on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms and a shower room above. The easily managed rear yard need not detain you longer than a quick coffee or evening glass of wine dictates, as you have the whole of the wonderful Lake District National Park as your playground and garden to hand. There are views to be enjoyed of Seat Sandal and Stone Arthur, for example, particularly from the first floor.

Simply perfect as a quiet permanent home, a relaxing, lock up and leave weekend retreat or as a popular holiday let.
