Ivy Cottage, Eaglesfield, Cockermouth, CA13
House
Description
A truly special and deceptively spacious three bedroom detached cottage, beautifully and sympathetically restored by the present owners to create a wonderful balance of character, charm and contemporary living. Retaining many of its innate period features while incorporating stylish modern touches, this unique home offers a surprisingly generous level of accommodation arranged over two floors. From the welcoming entrance porch and hallway with charming window seating, to the cosy lounge with wood burning stove and elegant dining room with exposed brickwork, there is a lovely sense of warmth and individuality throughout.
The accommodation continues with a modern kitchen, while a particularly versatile snug/home office provides an additional reception space and could, subject to individual requirements, also work as a fourth bedroom. A contemporary ground-floor shower room sits conveniently alongside. To the rear, the dining room leads into a useful rear porch/utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and access to the property's outside spaces. Upstairs are three beautifully presented and well appointed bedrooms together with a stylish family bathroom, making this an exceptionally flexible home for families, couples, or those seeking a characterful base for relocation to this highly desirable part of West Cumbria.
Outside, the property boasts a stunning courtyard garden offering a wonderfully private and atmospheric setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Seating areas are complemented by climbing flowers and mature planting, creating a beautiful extension of the living accommodation and a real feature of the home. A second, smaller outside area provides useful additional space and a storage shed.
Set within the sought after village of Eaglesfield, the cottage enjoys the best of both worlds: peaceful village surroundings while being close to Cockermouth, the northern fells of the Lake District National Park and a range of employment centres across West Cumbria. A rare and distinctive home that needs to be viewed to appreciate its space, finish, character and exceptional setting.
