Description
Located in the charming hamlet of Dalegarth, Eskdale, this beautifully refurbished mid-link cottage enjoys a truly unique setting with the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway - affectionately known as The Ratty - running just alongside. From the doorstep, you can watch the steam trains pass by, framed against the backdrop of stunning open countryside. Offering a perfect blend of charm and modern comfort, the property is ready to move into or start taking holiday bookings immediately, making it an ideal second home, holiday let, or low maintenance first home. With no onward chain, it is ready for its new owners to enjoy straight away.
The cottage has been refurbished throughout to a high standard, creating a light, fresh, and welcoming interior. The ground floor features a cosy lounge, perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the Lakes, a modern kitchen with stylish finishes, and a well-appointed bathroom. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both generously sized and offering lovely views over the surrounding countryside.
Externally, the property benefits from a small front garden where you can sit and enjoy the passing steam trains, while the rear garden offers additional outdoor space for entertaining or relaxation. Parking is conveniently available nearby. The cottage’s location is truly special - nestled in the Eskdale Valley, surrounded by endless walking trails, open fells, and scenic beauty. With its unbeatable combination of setting, charm, and modern finish, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a property in one of the Lake District’s most unique and peaceful locations.
