The Property
Grange Cottage is a wonderful, immaculate four bedroom detached house built
from traditional local Lake District stone and slate with a very sympathetic
modern extension. The property is set right in the heart of the Lake District
National Park, surrounded by stunning scenery and mere moments from the River
Derwent, Derwentwater and Catbells.
The large welcoming entrance hall is perfect for sitting in the morning sun
and has delightful character features such as exposed stone and slate wall and
wooden door lintel. Three steps up lead into the kitchen and a seamless flow
into the dining/family room extension with slate flooring throughout. The
spacious open plan kitchen has an excellent range of bespoke wall and floor
units and a large island bench, designed by Southey Interiors, a local
business based in Keswick. An electric aga is completely in keeping with the
character of the property, there is an integrated dishwasher and Siemens oven,
space for a tall fridge/freezer and the electric hob on the island affords a
wonderful bright view of the garden and the fells beyond whilst cooking;
through the full height glass wall and sliding door at the end of the
dining/family room. This extension is stylish and modern, completed just 18
months ago and featuring a cosy Contura wood burner stove.
To the rear of the entrance hall is a handy utility room with sink, plenty of
storage and laundry facilities including plumbing for a washing machine, and
off this is a WC with wash hand basin. A generous bedroom on the ground floor
with calming décor and exposed wood ceiling beams could be used as a further
reception room if required, and beside this is a light, bright, dual aspect
sitting room, also with exposed beams, and a wood burning stove in a slate
inglenook fireplace. At the bottom of the stairs is a study; an ideal spot for
home working.
To the first floor the beautifully presented principal bedroom enjoys open
fell views and benefits from a smartly presented en - suite shower room with
fantastic double width shower. This shower room can also be accessed from the
landing. A delightful generous guest bedroom at the end of the landing also
benefits from an en - suite shower room and a fourth bedroom is currently set up
as a nursery.
Externally
A gravel drive leads up to Grange Cottage and provides parking beside the
house and garage, which also offers loft storage space. The south and west
facing landscaped garden to the rear is low maintenance with graveled paths,
shrubbed flower beds and a patio area. It offers a private and tranquil place
to relax, dine al fresco or entertain, and can be accessed directly from the
dining/family room and from the rear of the garage. The views of the fells
from the garden are spectacular and feel like an extension of the garden.
