Full Details
Gilpin Cottage is a delightful, sizable two-bedroom home which offers level living.
Gilpin Cottage is a delightful, sizable two-bedroom home which offers level living. The property is nestled in the development of Starnthwaite Ghyll. The most prominent feature of the property is that is surrounded with picturesque countryside which is visible from most of the windows in the property. It has an abundance of natural light throughout and would be suited for permanent occupation, holiday let or second home use. The accommodation briefly includes open plan living/dining room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom and a fitted kitchen. The small garden and surrounding fields are a haven for local wildlife and can be enjoyed from almost every window in the house. There is a private driveway which leads to a garage and affords ample parking for two vehicles.
Located in the heart of the Lyth Valley in a small hamlet north of the picturesque village of Crosthwaite, Starnthwaite Ghyll is a prestigious conversion and development built in 1987, nestling within the beautiful Gilpin Valley on the River Gilpin, just half a mile from the centre of Crosthwaite village. Crosthwaite will appeal to all ages thanks to its lively community that is centered around the active village hall and local primary school, rated outstanding by Ofsted. Commonly known as 'The Damson Valley', Crosthwaite is situated within The Lake District National Park and is approximately 5 miles from Bowness and, in the other direction Kendal, with easy access to the M6, ideal for commuters looking for a more laid back and peaceful lifestyle. There is an abundance of walks to be enjoyed right from your doorstep and with the Lakeland Hills close by you are certainly spoilt for choice. Locally, there is a good selection of quality pubs including the popular Punch Bowl which includes a post office three times a week and there is a weekly local Fairtrade shop and homemade cakes in the village hall.
