Seldom do we find such “chocolate box” cottages in simply “picture postcard” idyllic settings, yet here we have found a magnificent 17th century Grade II listed detached example.
Birkett House is steeped in ancient history, brimming with bygone year’s character and charm blending effortlessly with 21st century luxuries. Oak floors, original Victorian fireplaces, oak beams, picture windows with deep window seats happily meet sumptuous furnishings, modern Victorian bathrooms, a stunning oak kitchen and the perfect finish of Farrow & Ball with Laura Ashley. The pretty cottage garden is a place to relax and lose yourself in a good book, yet the soothing tick of a Grandfather clock helps set the quintessential atmosphere. This is a magical place in a sublime setting and everyone who stays here will only leave longing to return. The sleepy hamlet of Troutbeck is truly picturesque and here you are walking distance of two country pubs serving delicious food and real ales together with a well stocked post office shop. You are circumscribed by wonderful walking territory and both popular destinations of Ambleside and Windermere are only a 5 minute drive. If you yearn for true Lakeland in rejuvenating Troutbeck, then here you have found it.
The accommodation comprises; a verandah style open porch leads from the private parking area to the entrance door. Entrance hall with cloaks cupboard and hanging space for walking clobber. The beautiful lounge leads out to the cottage garden and is a place to relax. The kitchen has everything you need wrapped up in Lakeland slate and is open to the dining area. On the ground floor is a stunning bedroom with king size brass bed and picture window. Upstairs to three other sumptuous bedrooms and bathrooms.
