2 bed cottage for sale

Ullswater, Penrith CA11

Gatesgarth Cottage is a detached two-bedroom bungalow set within the grounds of Gatesgarth, in a peaceful, secluded woodland setting in the Ullswater valley. It offers about 92 sq m (995 sq ft) of single-storey accommodation, including an integral garage. The cottage has been left unoccupied and is in need of full renovation and repair. It is a blank canvas for a buyer wanting a manageable home, a holiday retreat or an ancillary dwelling. It is sold with its own private garden and is available either separately or together with Gatesgarth. It has a tiled roof, a chimney and traditional casement windows throughout.
