The property

Bobbin Mill Cottage is an exceptional end-terrace slate cottage set within a generous garden plot that borders peaceful woodland and open countryside, near the southern tip of Lake Windermere and Newby Bridge in the Lake District, nestled in the quiet hamlet of Lakeside.

Impeccably styled throughout with meticulous attention to detail, this cottage is perfect for families or friends seeking quality time together in one of the Lake District’s most picturesque settings.

Arranged over two floors, the main house features three bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a spacious open-plan sitting room with a woodburner set against a striking slate wall.

The kitchen is of outstanding quality, equipped with an AGA, butcher’s sink, granite countertops, marble flooring, and a wine chiller to keep your favourite drinks perfectly cool for indoor or outdoor enjoyment.

A contemporary open wall window connects the kitchen to the sitting room, offering a view through to the conservatory lounge, which opens via French doors onto the garden and beyond.

Step out onto the wrap-around patio to savour the tranquil atmosphere, interrupted only by birdsong, or wander down into the garden to relax by the soothing sounds of the babbling stream.

Across the garden, the studio provides additional accommodation—ideal for extended family, friends, or teenagers, with an open-plan kitchen and lounge, TV, shower room, and a bedroom overlooking the garden.

Just a short stroll from the property is the tip of Lake Windermere, where you’ll find the Lakeside Hotel with its spa and restaurant, and opportunities to embark on Lakeland cruises to Ambleside and Bowness.

Alternatively, hop aboard the Haverthwaite steam train for a nostalgic journey, or visit the Lakeland Aquarium.

The nearby village of Cartmel hosts summer race meetings at the UK’s smallest racecourse, is home to the famous sticky toffee pudding, the historic 12th-century priory, and the acclaimed L’Enclume restaurant.

Cyclists will appreciate the proximity to Grizedale Forest, which offers a variety of bike trails for all abilities, as well as the Go Ape adventure course.

Walkers can explore woodland trails to the trees and High Dam, and a visit to the fascinating Bobbin Mill will reveal the origins of the cottage’s name.

After a day of adventure, return to this wonderful retreat to unwind in the peaceful garden or by the warmth of the woodburner.

This is a truly special cottage in a lovely location, perfect for exploring and enjoying the Lake District at any time of year.

EPC Rating: Band C

About the location

LAKESIDE

Newby Bridge 1.2 miles; Bowness-on-Windermere 8.7 miles.

Set on the southern shores of Lake Windermere, the small, sleepy hamlet of Lakeside offers a peaceful getaway location, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the Lake District’s popular attractions, but still within easy reach of them. Whether you decide to discover the area in the car, by foot, bike, boat or steam, there’s plenty to see nearby to keep the whole family content. The ferry dock offers the chance to travel by boat to Waterhead or Bowness, or take a shorter trip to the National Trust’s Fell Foot Park, across the water, which offers pretty grounds set alongside the very tip of the lake, providing plenty of places for picnics, paddling, games and gentle strolls on sunny afternoons. Situated alongside the Lakeside Station is the long-standing Lakeside and Haverwaithe Railway, home to Britain’s oldest standard gauge steam engine, on which you can travel back in time along this well-loved Heritage line, and where little ones will delight in meeting Thomas and his friends. Visit the Lakes Aquarium to uncover the often-secretive world of life below water, where you’ll chance upon hundreds of captivating creatures that feature in the surrounding rivers, lakes and sea. There are wonderful, well-signed walks to be enjoyed in the immediate area, including the 5-mile route to Finsthwaite’s High Dam, which trails from Lakeside through pleasant woodlands and meadows. Lakeside offers an exclusive holiday location with all of the Lake District’s delights at your fingertips.
