This characterful and traditional Lakeland cottage in the small hamlet of Outgate is ideal for families and friends seeking a peaceful base for outdoor adventures in the Lake District. The property is 4 miles from the bustling, popular Lakeland town of Ambleside, full of cafes and shops to browse. The picturesque, car-free, cobbled village streets of Hawkshead are just 1 mile away. Within 5 miles of the property, keen walkers have plenty of choice with hikes to Tarn Hows, Latterbarrow, and Stock Ghyll Force, while cyclists should head to Grizedale Forest, which offers a variety of trails to suit all abilities. A great family day out, less than 10 miles away, is at Brockhole on Windermere, where you can discover the adventure park and experience a range of activities on and off the water. Alternatively, head to the coast, with idyllic Arnside Beach on the Kent Estuary within 30 miles.


This welcoming two-storey property has all the ingredients for an unforgettable stay; full of charm, it displays a wealth of original features, including flagged floors and exposed beams, which are perfectly married to up-to-the-minute decor and effortless styling. Walk the gravel drive and take one step up to enter this beautiful cottage. Follow the attractive hallway through to an inviting downstairs lounge with plenty of comfortable seating for chatting over afternoon tea. Elegant furnishings and a cosy wood burner for chilly evenings create a relaxing ambience, and a Smart TV provides the evening entertainment. A superb breakfast kitchen, flooded with natural light and with direct access to a private patio, flows effortlessly into the dining area. The kitchen features all the appliances you need to cook during your stay. The combination of kitchen and dining areas creates a great social space for a larger party of friends and family. The beautiful wooden dining table is set in front of a feature fireplace housing a wood burner. There are also armchairs to relax in after dinner. Completing the downstairs is a stylish and quirky ground-floor shower room complete with sauna, perfect for relaxing aching muscles after a day on the fells. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms – one king-size, one double and one twin. One double bedroom boasts an en-suite shower room; the other two share a sleek, stylish, contemporary bathroom.


Head outside and enjoy the lovely garden spaces. There is a private garden with a patio and a grassy area at the back perfect for your canine companion, and a landscaped garden area to the front.
