This property is a real treat. If you have ever dreamed of owning a picturesque Detached Lakeland Cottage with all the wonderful quirky charm that comes with one, but away from the hustle and bustle of the busy Lakes then we have the solution in The Forge which is located within the Lake District National Park! Not only is this property the very definition of Lakeland Cottage with thick stone wobbly cottage plaster walls, low beamed ceilings, deep set cottage windows, wonderful original doors etc it also provides an amazing amount of space! From the moment you step inside it is almost as if you were in a Beatrix Potter book.
The original date of this cottage is unclear but it has been loved and enjoyed by the current owners as their second home for 18 years and is now reluctantly offered for sale. The cottage provides ample space for a modern family but equally, with the low maintenance outside, charm and location, it will also appeal to the second home market too.
The original front door opens into the Entrance Porch with recess for coats and boots, ceramic tiled floor and beautiful, deep set, triple windows to the front. A low level door leads into the Hallway with delightful stripped doors to Kitchen and Living Room. The Kitchen is full depth with dual aspect. There is space for a table to one end and two areas of under stair storage - one with plumbing for the washing machine. There is an impressive range on an exposed ancient wall, ceiling beams and external door to the garden. The Kitchen is furnished with a range of soft green base cabinets with wood effect work surface, stainless steel sink unit, integrated dishwasher, electric oven, oil central heating boiler and space for fridge freezer.
The Living Room is spacious with front window, recessed cupboard and lovely stone inglenook fire place housing the wood burning stove. Off the Living Room is a Snug/Study with rear aspect and Dining Room with original fireplace (not in use) and front aspect.
Upstairs is a spacious, split level landing with airing cupboard and further high level storage cupboard. There are 3 well proportioned Double Bedrooms all with front aspect. The Master benefits from an en-suite Shower Room. The Bathroom has a 'Velux' roof window and white suite comprising WC, pedestal wash hand basin and bath with shower over.
Outside the sunny garden is very private and enclosed by mature hedging and high stone wall. There is a bijou grassed area and paved patio which is perfect for dining outdoors and an evening glass of wine - there are definite French feels! Double gates with hard standing for a single car parking space.
Location The Forge occupies a fairly central position in the sought after and friendly village of Witherslack which is within the Lake District Nation Park. The village provides a community run village store, highly regarded 'Derby Arms' Public House, Primary School and Garden Centre.
Witherslack is a charming village with a semi rural and real traditional village feel with super walks on the doorstep but is also incredibly convenient for the main commuter road A590 which is just a hop skip and a jump away - the very best of both worlds.
From the A590 take the turning for Witherslack. Proceed past the Derby Arms on your left and into the village. Passing the telephone box, The Forge can be found on the corner of the left hand turn sign posted Halecat?
