Follow this lane for approximately half a mile and South View Cottage will be found on the left hand side with ample car parking in the first of the two bays. Description Sitting quietly in a pretty little hamlet just off the road which links Hawkshead with Coniston, South View Cottage is a beautiful and well presented home which is absolutely perfect as a holiday let, lock up and leave weekend retreat or a permanent residence in this unspoilt of the beautiful Lake District National Park. Believed to have 17th century origins, the cottage has been superbly and sympathetically maintained and improved over the years to offer well balanced accommodation which is as welcoming as it is practical. Log burning stoves and oak doors combine delightfully with exposed original timbers to create a home of real character. The wide entrance hall leads you to a lovely bright lounge on one side or to a superb family kitchen on the other. There is a further cosy sitting room beyond (which could be employed as a fourth bedroom if desired) supplemented by a useful shower room/utility room all on the ground-floor. There are 3 double bedrooms on the first floor each with lovely southerly views together with a luxury house bathroom. There is a very useful undercroft/workshop which is perfect for hobbies, bike or canoe storage etc and plenty of car parking provision at the front.
