Property description

Situated in the picturesque Eskdale valley within the renowned Lake District National Park, you will find Holmside Cottage, a charming, detached home with adjoining annexe, which is now available for purchase with no onward chain.This lovely residence is located on the outskirts of the idyllic village of Eskdale Green, with the majestic western fells in close proximity; outdoor enthusiasts will have easy access to breathtaking hiking trails - and the village pub is conveniently located just a stone's throw away. The sale of Holmside Cottage presents an incredible opportunity as it includes this character-filled, three bedroom cottage, a separate one bedroom annexe, and a garage that offers great potential for conversion into additional living space if required (subject to appropriate planning permission being granted).Accommodation on the ground floor briefly comprises cosy living room with attractive wood burning stove, second reception-dining room, modern kitchen and a utility/laundry room - with the original bread oven still intact. A beautiful, split level staircase gives access to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.Muncaster View, affectionately named by the present owner, adjoins the property and offers a beautiful open plan living-dining-kitchen with first floor en-suite bedroom. Perfect for use as a holiday cottage and likely to produce an attractive income if utilised in this way, the annexe would also suit a dependent relative. Externally, there is off road parking to the side for several vehicles, in addition to an adjoining garage/workshop, which offers countless possibilities for conversion - either to provide ancillary accommodation or to create a second, boutique, studio annexe for use on the holiday letting market (STPP). There are gardens surrounding the property, with a delightful, elevated, patio area to the rear which is ideal for outdoor entertaining. Located between the beautiful valleys of Wasdale and Eskdale, Irton is an ideal base from which to explore the area's fells and mountains which create some of the finest walking in Britain. Nearby Gosforth (3 miles) has shops, a library, excellent nursery and primary school. More comprehensive amenities can be found in Seascale including doctor's surgery and pharmacy, and rail links to Carlisle and Lancaster. The interesting town of Whitehaven is some 15 miles distant, with Cockermouth, having strong associations with Wordsworth, a little further afield.Mains electricity & water; septic tank drainage; oil central heating, partial double glazing installed - unless detailed otherwise; telephone & broadband connections installed subject to BT regulations.
