Positioned in an exceptional riverside setting in the heart of Calderbridge, Dale Cottage is a truly special home occupying an enviable position right on the edge of the River Calder with private fishing rights from the garden. With beautiful low level patio gardens cascading towards the water and uninterrupted views across the river to open fields beyond, the setting is nothing short of breathtaking. This is a home that offers lifestyle as much as accommodation, peaceful, picturesque and perfectly suited to those relocating for work, seeking a slower pace of life, or embracing early retirement close to the delights of the Lake District National Park.

Internally, the property has undergone significant renovation and is presented in immaculate condition throughout. An inviting entrance hallway leads into a stunning open-plan lounge, dining and family room, a wonderfully sociable space designed for modern living. Bi-fold doors frame the river views and open seamlessly onto the rear terrace, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The space flows into a luxury contemporary kitchen, stylishly appointed with high-end integrated appliances. From here, a further reception room, currently used as a home office, enjoys superb river views and direct access to a private balcony. A separate cosy lounge provides an additional retreat or could also be used as a ground floor bedroom if required. To the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms, one benefitting from a generous walk-in wardrobe, along with a family bathroom. The upstairs offers excellent scope for a purchaser to further enhance and style to their own taste and specification.

Externally, the property truly excels, the main terrace with glass balustrades provides a spectacular vantage point over the river, with steps leading to a lower patio area described as a true sun trap in the summer months. In addition, there is a substantial undercroft, accessed via a trap door from the lounge and externally, offering exciting potential (restricted head height), perhaps as a unique cinema room, creative studio or even a sheltered entertaining space with hot tub. A further outdoor store, which houses the boiler and provides additional storage, adds practicality to this remarkable riverside home.

In summary, Dale Cottage is far more than simply a house, it is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated riverside home in a setting that is both peaceful and inspiring. With its seamless indoor-outdoor living, breathtaking outlook and scope to personalise further, it offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find and even harder to leave.
