About this listing

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 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.
