A rustic stone cottage with awe-inspiring views all around, this charming semi-detached property creates a wonderful setting for a trip with your loved ones and pets. It’s located in a peaceful hamlet bordering the River Esk which you can follow along on foot to St Catherine’s Church (1.5 miles). You’ll be just 1 mile from the local village of Boot where you’ll find two welcoming pubs serving fresh food and real ales.
The accommodation has been lovingly restored with many of its original features still intact, such as high vaulted ceilings and elegant wooden ceiling beams. The flooring throughout is in quality polished wooden floorboards, and large windows ensure you can enjoy the sunlight and wonderful fell views. There is a charming downstairs twin bedroom with en-suite shower room. Upstairs, the open-plan living area has a well-equipped kitchen running down one side and a central dining table for enjoying meals together. In the cosy lounge area, sink into one the comfy sofas and pop something on the TV. An electric fire keeps you all warm, and there’s a variety of books and games available. On this floor, you’ll also find an impressive double bedroom and a family bathroom with shower over the bath. From the living space, head out to the raised decked patio where you can sip morning coffee or evening wine. Steps from here lead down to an al fresco dining space and a small lawn.
