Description A charming two bedroom stone built Lakeland period cottage enjoying a pleasant setting in the centre of Glenridding village nestling on the shore of Ullswater by the glorious Helvellyn range approximately thirteen miles from Penrith, eight miles from Pooley Bridge and fifteen miles from Ambleside.

Thought to have been constructed in the mid nineteenth century as a cottage providing accommodation for workers employed up at Greenside Mine further up the valley, this welcoming cottage was no doubt once a boisterous family home. Mining has long since ceased but these cottages are a welcome legacy, providing comfortable and homely accommodation in what has always been one of the most beautiful valleys in the Lake District National Park. The shore of ever beautiful Ullswater is just a short hop and a skip away and a variety of traditional Lakeland inns, hotels, shops, cafes and restaurants provide all the evening entertainment that one could possibly desire after a day spent on the magnificent surrounding fells or sailing on the lake.

Ideal Holiday Letting Opportunity In the opinion of Lakelovers ()

6 Low Glenridding is well located in one of the most popular villages in the Lake District that attracts visitors all year round. Once correctly, presented, priced and marketed, cottages such as this quickly establish themselves as successful holiday lets that benefit from higher than average occupancy rates and excellent rental rates. We would anticipate the gross rental income to be in the region of £26-28,000 per anum with the opportunity to grow this further based on good reviews and repeat bookings.
