“Mardale Cottage” Great Urswick. LA12 0SX.
Here is a truly charming and instantly beguiling, end of terrace Cottage. It has been lovingly improved over several years and is now in pristine order and ready for occupation without the prospect of the need for any further cash outlay.
The cottage has a lovely outlook from the front over Urswick Tarn towards Birkrigg Common. There is a very comfortable Lounge/Dining Room which is particularly bright and airy and it has a feature fireplace with a cast iron multi-fuel stove. Marvellous things! Think of those cosy evenings in!
The Kitchen is fully fitted with a superior range of units. On the first floor there is a beautiful double Bedroom ( with those views again) and a lovely Bathroom fitted with a white 3-piece suite including a shower service over the bath with a fitted side screen.
The top floor is taken up entirely by the another Bedroom. Once again, very bright and sunny as there are 2 large Velux windows.
Mardale Cottage is fully double glazed and has a gas (mains) combi boiler Central Heating System and it is very tastefully decorated and carpeted..
The village of Great Urswick boasts an excellent local pub ( General Burgoyne) and a beautiful church. The Tarn is a permanent delight and is available for fishing and boating activities. Birkrigg Common is a short distance away, on which you will find a Druids Circle!
So Mardale Cottage has a lot to say for itself. Please scrutinise the Picture Gallery and then give me a call to arrange a viewing. Mardale Cottage is Tickety Boo!

Notes on Great Urswick
A number of explanations have been suggested for Urswick's name. The '-wick' element is perhaps from the Old English wic meaning 'farm' or 'trading centre', an element commonly found in settlements on or near Roman roads (see below). It has been suggested that the first element may mean 'bison lake' from Old English ur + sǣ .[3] However, an alternative explanation has been proposed which incorporates the first definite historical reference to the ancient estate that incorporated the present Urswick villages – Chiluestreuic – from the Domesday survey .
The name 'Great Urswick' originated as 'Much Urswick', not because of its size but because of its association with Michael le Fleming. The village was an original part of Michael's lands, granted to him before 1111 by Henry I, whilst Little Urswick belonged to Stephen of Blois and later Furness Abbey. The name 'Much Urswick', meaning 'Michael's Urswick', was used to differentiate between the lands of Michael and Furness Abbey.
