Description Perfectly placed for immediate access to a wonderful array of walks - from hikes up Helvellyn to strolls along the lake shore, this attractive 2 bedroomed stone and slate former miners cottage is simply perfect as a weekend retreat, holiday let or as a permanent home. Set within a spacious corner plot with easily managed gardens, this welcoming home includes a sitting room, kitchen, 2 double bedrooms, a shower room and that all important private car parking provision for 2-3 cars.
Thought to have been constructed in the mid nineteenth century as a cottage providing accommodation for workers employed up at Greenside Mine further up the valley, this welcoming cottage was no doubt once a boisterous family home. Mining has long since ceased but these cottages are a welcome legacy, providing comfortable and homely accommodation in what has always been one of the most beautiful valleys in the Lake District National Park. The shore of ever beautiful Ullswater is just a short hop and a skip away and a variety of traditional Lakeland inns, hotels, shops, cafes and restaurants provide all the evening entertainment that one could possibly desire after a day spent on the magnificent surrounding fells or sailing on the lake.
This attractive cottage is the perfect holiday let, weekend retreat or indeed a permanent residence. The welcoming appeal of this simple cottage is clear as soon as you step over the threshold and early viewing is highly recommended.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units having splashback tiling and complementary work surfaces with integrated stainless steel sink and drainer with a mixer tap. Integrated Lamona appliances include an electric oven and a 4 ring hob with a stainless steel extractor hood over, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Through into the cosy Sitting Room there is a multi-fuel burner set on a stone hearth and a deep under stairs cupboard housing the Heatrae Sadia for hot water. The inner hall provides access to the rear garden and stairs to the first floor with access to the roof space from the landing. There are two double bedrooms and a shower room with a corner glazed shower unit with Mira Sports shower, a WC and a wash basin both set within a vanity-style unit. The property benefits from double glazed windows and electric storage heating.

Ideal Holiday Letting Opportunity In the opinion of Lakelovers ()
8 Low Glenridding is well located in one of the most popular villages in the Lake District that attracts visitors all year round. Once correctly, presented, priced and marketed, cottages such as this quickly establish themselves as successful holiday lets that benefit from higher than average occupancy rates and excellent rental rates. We would anticipate the gross rental income to be in the region of £26-28,000 per anum with the opportunity to grow this further based on good reviews and repeat bookings.
Note Probate has yet to be formally obtained for the property and completion of the sale will have to be after this has been granted.
