Nestling quietly within a small courtyard setting at the bottom of Sale Fell is this gorgeous 17th century cottage which offers bags of character including original beams, exposed stone walls, a fireplace and the old original stone trough within the porch. The accommodation is charming and comfortable and includes two reception rooms and a kitchen downstairs with two double bedrooms, one with a vaulted ceiling, and a bathroom upstairs, all of which has been well maintained but there are opportunities for you to put your own mark on it.
HOWEVER . it s not just the cottage which is desirable but there s the most SUPERB GARDEN at the side as well which has been thoughtfully landscaped and planted over the years. It will take some maintenance but there s a great opportunity to create a lifestyle garden and grow fruit and veg or create something more formal whatever takes your fancy! It s definitely a property for a garden enthusiast! Added to this is parking for two cars within the courtyard and an adjoining workshop/store.
We love the location on the edge of the National Park it s about 0.5 miles from the A66 which provides good access to Cockermouth and the west, along with Keswick in the east. The opportunities for walking from the cottage are endless, Sale and Ling Fells being so close by.

OWNERS' COMMENTS
We were so lucky to find a home we could afford within the Lake District National Park - a bit of a dream! For 30 years, our lovely little cottage has been a happy place of family events, celebrations and a warm, cosy sanctuary from the stresses and strains of daily life (and the weather!). Walking outside into the beautiful garden always makes everything feel better. We ve looked after the soil to give an abundance of fruit and veg and a riot of colour and wildlife throughout the year. Being so close to the brilliant market towns of Cockermouth and Keswick has given us the best of both worlds: a rural idyll plus all the essentials close by. There is so much potential for future owners to enjoy the cottage and we look forward to handing over the keys for the next chapter in it s long history.
