## Description

A charming 18th-century cottage offering warmth, character and a true "escape to the country" lifestyle, set within a peaceful Eden Valley village close to Penrith and the Lake District. IQuince Cottage is a beautifully presented red sandstone home that captures the essence of Cumbrian village living. Combining period charm with practical, flexible accommodation, it offers an inviting and comfortable home ideally suited to those seeking a slower pace of life, while remaining well connected to nearby towns and the wider region. Inside, the property has been maintained to an excellent standard, creating a space that feels both welcoming and easy to live in. The bespoke kitchen, fitted with country-style oak cabinetry and modern appliances, leads through to the heart of the home - a characterful lounge with exposed stone fireplace and open fire, providing a cosy and atmospheric setting. An adjoining dining area and useful storage add to the practicality of the ground floor layout. Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms (one double and one twin), along with a third flexible room that can be used as a study, dressing room or occasional bedroom, making the property adaptable to a range of needs including home working. A modern family bathroom completes the accommodation, with all rooms benefiting from natural light and a bright, airy feel. Externally, the cottage enjoys a pretty front garden with seating area and established planting, creating a private space to relax and enjoy the surroundings. To the rear, there is off-road parking and access to a range of traditional stone outbuildings, currently used for storage, utility space and recreation, offering further flexibility and potential for enhancement subject to any necessary consents. In addition to its appeal as a full-time residence, the property also lends itself naturally to use as a second home or occasional holiday let, given its location and character, providing owners with the option of generating supplementary income if desired. Location Melkinthorpe is ideally positioned within the Eden Valley, offering a peaceful village setting while remaining within easy reach of the M6 (approximately 15 minutes) and the market town of Penrith. The Lake District National Park and surrounding countryside provide an abundance of walking routes, outdoor activities and local amenities, making this a highly desirable and accessible rural location.
