The property

2 Bakers Yard is a charming stone-built terraced cottage bursting with character, resting in the heart of the beautiful village of Grasmere, Cumbria, perfectly positioned within walking distance to shops, pubs, restaurants and surrounded by the spectacular scenery of the Lake District National Park.

With orchard views and thoughtfully chosen furnishings that complement its heritage, this delightful retreat is ideal for couples, friends, small families, and those wishing to holiday with a canine companion.

Be welcomed by the pretty exterior of this home, taking in the traditional Cumbrian cottage stone, before making yourself at home.

Stepping inside, the reverse-level layout makes the most of the surrounding views and natural light, with the ground-floor featuring two inviting double bedrooms, a welcoming place to rest after days spent exploring the fells and lakes, while a sleek shower room offers a refreshing space to prepare for the day ahead.

Upstairs, the bright open-plan living area is enhanced by exposed wooden beams that thread throughout the space, creating warmth and character.

Here, guests can cook favourite meals in the well-equipped kitchen before gathering around the dining area to share stories of the day's adventures, complemented by a glass of fizz.

The sitting area is a lovely place to unwind with a film on the TV or enjoy a good book alongside home-made goodies from the village stores.

Outside, the enclosed communal courtyard provides a pleasant spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink while taking in the orchard views.

Grasmere is a stunning village with countryside and mountain views, offering an excellent selection of local amenities, including shops, welcoming pubs, cafés, riverside walks, and the renowned Grasmere Gingerbread Shop, all within easy reach of the cottage.

Visitors can spend time exploring the village itself, discover nearby Ambleside with its independent shops, water sports on Lake Windermere, and plenty of scenic walking routes.

Visit Keswick for attractions including Derwentwater, Theatre by the Lake, and a bustling market town atmosphere, whilst nature enthusiasts will also find countless walking opportunities across the surrounding fells, valleys, and lakes that make the Lake District such a treasured destination.

Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure, memorable days with loved ones, or simply a charming base from which to discover Cumbria's breath-taking landscapes, 2 Bakers Yard offers a wonderful setting for your next Lake District escape.

About the location

GRASMERE

Ambleside 5 miles; Windermere 9 miles; Keswick 13 miles.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family has been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.
