2 RAKEFOOT COTTAGES

Sat in an elevated location, with wonderful south facing views across the Embleton valley towards Skiddaw, Sale and the Ling Fells, a deceptively spacious, 2 reception, 3 bedroom, mid terrace cottage with great living space and low maintenance garden to rear with excellent storage.

Located in this always sought after section of the Lake District National Park, close to Bassenthwaite Lake and with excellent access to Lorton and
Buttermere, 2 Rakefoot Cottages is a traditional former quarryman’s cottage, extended to the rear to create a most appealing property with amazing views across the Embleton Valley to the fells beyond.

Well positioned between the attractive market town of Cockermouth and popular visitor destination of Keswick, close to the local golf course and Lakes Distillery, the cottage is ideal as a main residence or would also be a great low maintenance lock up and leave 2nd property, with excellent income generating potential when not in an owners use.

With accommodation over 3 floors, from the parking area at the front the formal entrance opens into the dining room, which has the kitchen off, and the lounge beyond, which opens onto a veranda with steps down to the garden.

A hallway off the lounge, with a downstairs shower room with utility connections for a washing machine, gives access to the first floor landing with two bedrooms to the front and the master bedroom to the rear, also with open views, and a separate dressing area with built in storage. Accessed via a fixed folding ladder, the loft space has been converted to make a most useful additional room, with limited height, ideal for storage or use as a home office/hobby room. The family bathroom acts as a Jack and Jill ensuite to the main bedroom.

To the rear is an enclosed garden , mainly to lawn with a garden store room and open fronted storage area underneath the veranda which gives access to a boiler room, providing additional secure storage.

Always keenly sought after, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
