Description Sitting on the edge of the pretty village of Grasmere this splendidly upgraded and re-designed 3 bedroomed detached country cottage enjoys absolutely superb views in all directions and is conveniently placed for accessing the village, the lake and the surrounding fells alike.

This delightfully welcoming home has off road private gated car parking and is perfect as a holiday let, weekend retreat or permanent home.

This delightfully extended and improved cottage has created a bright and sumptuous home. The spacious and adaptable 21st Century living accommodation can be enjoyed in a variety of ways to suit your individual requirements, whether that is as a stunning family home with space for all, a peaceful and welcoming weekend retreat or an incomparable holiday let.

Tasteful throughout, the accommodation is flooded with light, entered via a sunny porch which welcomes you through to a living room with oak flooring and open oak staircase leading to the first floor. The wood burner set within a chimney breast of exposed stone makes this a cosy warm room, ideal for relaxing with friends and family. Straight ahead of you is the bright and airy dining room/ sun room having superb full height, full length aluminium bi fold doors with custom made blinds, which look south over the valley, with absolutely breath-taking views to the stunning Lakeland fells beyond. What better place to sit and relax, simply soaking up that view!

The kitchen with exposed beams, tiled walls and floor, has stylish wall and base units with complementary marble work surfaces incorporating a sink and a half with mixer tap, and integrated appliances including a Lamona fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and ceramic four ring hob set above an AEG electric oven with extractor fan over. Additionally a contemporary island breakfast bar provides not only extra seating, but further storage for kitchen paraphernalia.

The rear portion of this wonderful extension leads to a utility room with integrated sink and drainer, having plumbing for an automatic washer/dryer and an external door to the patio, also housing the Worcester boiler. A downstairs cloakroom includes WC and a pedestal wash hand basin.

Also on the ground floor is the primary double bedroom, light and bright thanks to being dual aspect with additional Velux, oak timber flooring and a glazed external door to the patio. The en suite includes a Mira shower, WC and a wash hand basin set within a vanity style unit.

There are two further bedrooms to the first floor off the sunny landing where the integrated cupboard houses the Smart hot water cylinder, and where there are yet more fell views from the landing window. The largest double bedroom is to the front of the property enjoying fell views and a luxurious en suite shower room with Mira shower, WC and pedestal wash hand basin. The twin room is dual aspect, again with stunning views. The bathroom is stylishly tiled and has a four piece suite comprising a panel bath, Mira shower set within a curved unit, pedestal wash hand basin and a WC, also with a heated towel rail.

There is private gated car parking provision on the gravel driveway to supplement the detached garage just a little further up the road, and the rear patio garden which backs onto open fields is a surprising delight, ideal for enjoying that morning coffee, or glass of something chilled at the end of the day.

With sensational views north, south, east and west, the roster of fells includes Helm Crag (also known as the iconic Lion and the Lamb), Stone Arthur, Steel Fell, Silver How and Loughrigg. Virtually all of the above can be reached on foot from the doorstep along with the majestic Helvellyn mountain range and the beautiful Fairfield Horseshoe. Grasmere village is just down the road, providing excellent culinary and retail diversions, not to mention an excellent variety of local hostelries

A simply superb setting for a sensational property. You really should not miss out on Mouray, come and see for yourself.
