Character Upstairs
Original textures continue up the staircase, enhanced by elegant panelling, pearlescent wallpaper and cast-iron radiators. Light pours through a feature window, illuminating the landing and connecting the upstairs rooms.
The first bathroom reveals one of the home's most impressive moments. Two sinks with brushed gold accents sit beneath striking koi carp wallpaper, while a large double shower brings hotel level luxury. It feels sophisticated, fresh and unexpectedly grand.
Five bedrooms form a gentle arc around the landing, each with its own personality. Some are playful in colour, others calm and understated, but all benefit from sash windows and countryside outlooks. Double aspect views are a recurring feature, drawing the outside inward and giving each room a sense of openness.
A second family bathroom offers a freestanding bath positioned for relaxing views of the garden, set against a stone feature wall. A large shower and stunning gold detailing echo the style of the earlier bathroom, creating visual harmony across the home.
Grounds That Feel Endless
Rose Cottage enjoys extensive outdoor space that invites both adventure and calm. Expansive lawns wrap around the home, edged by mature trees and dotted with secluded corners. A summer house stands ready for long, warm days, while paved areas provide room for dining, barbecues and slow mornings with coffee.
The grounds continue with a fire pit area and space for chickens, gently nodding to a life lived outdoors. A large oak tree anchors the garden with character, and beyond the boundary lie wide fields that bring visiting wildlife and uninterrupted views. Parking for four plus cars is discreetly positioned, supported by a garage and multiple outbuildings for storage.
A Home Rooted in its Location
Situated in Gosforth, Rose Cottage offers village living surrounded by nature. This corner of West Cumbria is loved for its relaxed community feel, striking rural scenery and easy reach of the coast and the Lake District National Park. The balance is rare. Days can be spent walking woodland and shoreline, visiting independent cafés or exploring fells without leaving the area. Yet essential amenities, schools and transport connections keep everyday life convenient.
An Invitation to Live Well
Rose Cottage is more than a pretty period home. It has been shaped with thoughtful design, modern practicality and a genuine appreciation for character. Every room welcomes you with warmth. The gardens offer space and freedom. The setting encourages a slower, more mindful style of living.
For those seeking an elegant country home with personality, privacy and charm, Rose Cottage offers a life that feels both relaxed and beautifully refined.
