The property

A super mid-terrace cottage on the outskirts of the village of Levens, just five miles from Kendal and 15 miles from Bowness-on-Windermere in the beautiful Lake District.

This is a lovely cottage with spacious accommodation and a large garden with patio where the views stretch over the Lyth Valley.

This cottage makes a perfect base for exploring the Lake District and the nearby historic houses of Levens Hall and Sizergh Castle.

Cinderbarrow Cottage has two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, whilst downstairs there’s a spacious sitting room with dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen with a vestibule area – perfect for storing all your walking clobber.

Outside, there is a large garden area with lawn and a patio approached by steps.

The surrounding countryside is perfect for walking or cycling and the nature reserves of Leighton Moss and Foulshaw Moss will give added interest no matter what the weather holds!

The bustling lakeside town of Bowness-on-Windermere is just 20 minutes away where you can find a colourful mix of shops and restaurants, and of course, you can hop on board the Windermere Steamer to cruise up the lake to Ambleside with the stunning Lake District fells on either side.

In the market town of Kendal there is the Brewery Arts Centre together with charming ginnels and alleyways to explore.

This super cottage will make a great base at any time of the year.

About the location

LEVENS

Kendal 5 miles; Windermere 16 miles.

Levens is a small traditional Cumbrian village set on a high promontory in beautiful countryside and ideally placed for exploring the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. The village has a lovely old church, general store/newsagent and a pub. With excellent views of the southern fells across the Lyth Valley and the River Kent which flows below the village, Levens consists of a huddle of fine, stone-built traditional houses, cottages and barn conversions surrounded by unspoilt countryside, with varied flora and fauna and a nature reserve providing beautiful walking country. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall, with its superb topiary garden, are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Nearby Kendal is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Levens provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
