3 bedroom detached house for sale

Located in the picturesque village of Bampton, this delightful three bedroom character cottage is prominently positioned by Bampton bridge and has previously been run as a holiday let. Featuring three well proportioned bedrooms, two reception rooms, plenty of storage and off-street parking, an early inspection is advised to avoid missing out on this lovely property.

Dating from possibly the late 17th century, Hollin View retains many original features throughout, including flagstone floors and exposed beams. 

Internally the property briefly comprises a cosy flagged living room with feature fireplace, ample sized dining room with flagged flooring, useful pantry and dual aspect kitchen to the ground floor. To the first floor, are three double bedrooms, all of which are surprisingly spacious for an older cottage and a three piece family bathroom. As you enter the property, there is a handy corridor where you can kick off your boots and coats, together with a further storage cupboard and separate cloakroom/WC.

Externally the property has a gravelled driveway for one vehicle, along with low maintenance front and side rockery garden areas. Side access leads to the rear where there is a further gravelled area containing a fuel store and lovely sheltered bench area to sit out and listen to the nearby babbling of Cawdale Beck.

Hollin View is located in the beautiful Lowther valley and sits at the heart of the picturesque village of Bampton. The property is perfectly situated for those looking to get away from it all or for those looking to discover Lakeland's unspoilt treasures with many quiet walks and beautiful vistas to explore right on the doorstep. The nearby reservoir of Haweswater with its unique history and stunning scenery, along with Lowther Castle and its gentle parkland are a stone's throw away from Bampton, with the rest of the Lake District and Eden valley also being easily accessible. If you'd rather stay locally, the delightful village shop and tea room just opposite Hollin View is a good place to start or why not take a walk down to Bampton Grange and explore the nearby river Lowther.

From Penrith head southward out of the town (past the hospital) to the Kemplay roundabout and follow the A6 down into Eamont Bridge. At the end of the village there is a mini-roundabout; turn right here and follow the road through Yanwath, taking the left fork in the road just after the railway bridge, in front of the primary school. Continue on the road through Askham and then on past Helton. After a further 2 miles Bampton is reached and the property can be found opposite the village shop, next to the bridge.
