About this listing

Description Low Croft Cottage occupies a superb position in the heart of the picturesque village of Grasmere, offering easy access to the surrounding fells, scenic Lake District walks and the many amenities of this much-loved Lakeland village. This attractive, two-bedroom, Lakeland stone-built cottage presents a wonderful opportunity to embrace the highly sought-after Lake District lifestyle. A particularly appealing feature is the benefit of its own allocated parking space, a rare and valuable advantage in such a central village location. The property is approached via a covered entrance porch, attractively complemented by potted plants on either side. A part-glazed entrance door opens into the hallway, where useful coat hooks provide a practical place for outdoor clothing. A further door leads to the staircase ascending to the first floor, with a convenient understairs cupboard offering valuable storage for walking boots, shoes and outdoor equipment. The first floor is home to a bright, dual-aspect, open-plan living and dining space, creating a welcoming environment in which to relax and entertain. Two windows to the front elevation allow natural light to flood the room, with ample space for comfortable seating and a dining table. The adjoining kitchen enjoys delightful views towards the surrounding fells, bringing the beauty of the Lakeland landscape into everyday life. Fitted with a range of wall and base units complemented by work surfaces, the kitchen also features a wooden floor, partially tiled walls, a stainless-steel sink and drainer, and integrated Lamona appliances, including a four-ring electric hob with an extractor fan above, oven and fridge freezer. A further staircase leads to the second-floor landing where Velux roof windows provide natural light. Bedroom one is currently arranged as a twin room and enjoys woodland views from its front-facing window. Attractive ceiling beams add character, whilst a built-in wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside table provide useful storage and furnishings. Bedroom two is a comfortable double room, also featuring a front-facing window, built-in wardrobes, a chest of drawers and a bedside table. The family bathroom is fitted with a WC, washbasin and bath with a Mira shower over. Additional features include a partially shower-boarded wall finish, tiled-effect vinyl flooring, a towel rail, mirror and extractor fan. A Velux skylight provides natural light, while a substantial storage cupboard with coat hooks offers further practical space. Adding to the property's appeal, a part-glazed door from the covered entrance porch leads into a generously sized utility room. This versatile space provides excellent storage for bicycles, walking equipment and other outdoor essentials, making it particularly well suited to an active Lakeland lifestyle. There is also plumbing and space for a washing machine, together with fitted work surfaces and a front-facing window. Externally, the cottage benefits from its own allocated parking space, an especially desirable feature in the heart of Grasmere. Combining traditional Lakeland character, practical accommodation and an enviable village-centre setting, Low Croft Cottage offers an appealing opportunity for those seeking a permanent home, a countryside retreat or a base from which to enjoy the exceptional walking and scenery of the Lake District.
