Applethwaite Cottage is a superb contemporary Lakeland Cottage set in the pretty conservation village of Troutbeck, 5 minutes’ drive from Windermere.
On entering the cottage, you are greeted by the large open plan living space with oak floors throughout and a lovely wood-burning stove. The kitchen is well equipped and offers all you may need. The cosy lounge area is spacious with a bay window offering panoramic view out across the Troutbeck Valley. Upstairs, the cosy king-size master bedroom is complete with open beams and a contemporary en-suite. The second bedroom offers a comfortable double bed and compliments the master bedroom. A modern family bathroom includes bath with overhead shower, basin and WC. Originally part of a larger Victorian property this cottage has been tastefully refurbished to a high standard. The cottage offers a spacious and social living space, with outstanding views down the fell, outdoor garden furniture and barbeque area.
Just a short drive from shops and restaurants in Windermere village, Lake Windermere itself and the vibrant lake shore communities of Bowness and Ambleside, the Troutbeck Valley is a peaceful haven away from the rush. Spectacular Lakeland fells surround this lush valley; scattered with historic Lakeland houses and pretty woodlands, and two great pubs: The Mortal Man, and the Queens Head, both renowned for their excellent food, Cumbrian produce and cosy fireside ambience. Perfect for a special occasion. There are many walks from your doorstep, or you could drive over Kirkstone Pass towards Ullswater, you’ll pass Brothers Water – one of our favourite spots for a leisurely Sunday stroll. For exploring further afield, despite the blissfully secluded feel of the Troutbeck Valley, you’re never too far from the main linking roads throughout the Lake District.
