Description: Located in an idyllic, peaceful country setting within the Lake District National Park this is a quintessential character Lakeland Cottage. Offering some stunning views across the valley to hills, fells and mountains in the distance and an amazing "platform" decking area to get the best view! Being surrounded by fields and lovely well kept gardens, the property would be ideal for those looking for a picturesque home, 2nd home or holiday let which the property is currently being run as.
Location: with origins as a ''swill maker's'' home and workshop (a 'swill' being a type of basket!) Greenthorn dates back some 400 years and retains some lovely features with some great views into the garden and to the Lakeland Fells.
