Riversedge Cottage, 2 Riverside Cottages, Skelwith Bridge, Ambleside

Rare opportunity to acquire a well presented and spacious two bedroom, two bathroom mid terrace traditional Lakeland cottage. Built around 1872 and we believe it was built for the workers of the local gunpowder factory. The property has been modernised in recent years creating an excellent traditional property with modern appointments. Set in a lovely rural position with attractive river views across its own easily maintained private garden and private parking.

Sold with forward bookings and the majority of contents. The property would suit a variety of buyers whether as a investment property or an ideal weekend/holiday retreat. There is also an outhouse at the rear of the property.
