Blindcrake, Cockermouth, CA13

Ghyll Beck House is a cosy and characterful three bedroom cottage situated in the delightful village of Blindcrake, a small but well established community in a quiet part of the Lake District. Enjoying a spacious interior which belies its charming façade, with multiple reception rooms, ensuite main bedroom and a substantial garage, this is ideal for a young family or couple, downsizers or as a bolthole away from the Lake District tourist traps.   

The accommodation comprises lounge with stairs to a cellar store room, dining room, kitchen with oil fired range, main bedroom with ensuite shower and dressing area, two further double bedrooms and bathroom. Externally there is off road parking for one car, a substantial garage which could provide additional living space (STPP) and established yet easy to maintain gardens with a wide variety of colourful perennials, trees and shrubbery. 

Whilst some cosmetic refurbishment is now required, this is a fantastic opportunity to own a home in a sought after yet tranquil part of the national park.
