Cottage In Eskdale, Cumbria

Eskdale, Cumbria

Situated in Eskdale Green village in Cumbria, North England, this period property was built in a Swiss cottage style by Kurt Hahn in 1882, the local Outward Bound founder. The house features stone flagged floors, typical Eskdale fireplaces, and is located near great pubs and the popular Eskdale Stores. It serves as an ideal base for families, walkers, climbers, and nature lovers exploring the Esk Valley, home to England's highest mountain and deepest lake. Guests can enjoy walking trails, swimming in Wastwater, and taking a trip on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Valley Ratty Railway, with a station nearby.

The period house is filled with original features that have been carefully preserved and mixed with modern conveniences. The lounge is the central hub, featuring wrap around seating, armchairs, a wood burner, and a 50" Smart TV. A snug with an additional wood burner provides a cozy spot for relaxation, while the dining room offers space for family meals with oak tables and glassware dating back to 1882. The kitchen is equipped with a Rangemaster oven, dishwasher, and vintage butcher's block preparation island, perfect for cooking for family groups.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, a main bathroom with a large shower and freestanding bath, and a master bedroom with a king size bed and stunning views of the garden and fells. The lower ground level features two WCs, a washing machine, and storage for bikes and kayaks. Outside, the enclosed garden boasts a Victorian monkey puzzle tree, a patio area for al fresco dining, a summer house, and a lawned garden area for pets and children to enjoy.
