Description Occupying a delightful position elevated well above the valley and commanding the most superb panoramic views over almost the entire length of Coniston Water, this lovely stone built cottage offers well proportioned accommodation throughout, albeit to a current layout which some may consider revising. To maximise those magnificent views, the present design has two bedrooms and the bathroom on the ground floor (passing through one room to get to another), with the living room and dining kitchen above. There are pretty gardens making this the perfect holiday let, weekend retreat or permanent home.

Originally thought to have been built as a copper miners cottage, the layout was re-designed internally many years ago so that now the ground floor vestibule leads you directly into one bedroom, though which the inner hallway leads to a second bedroom with the bathroom beyond. Whilst you will undoubtedly consider the views from the front bedroom sensational, they are arguable surpassed by those enjoyed from the first floor sitting room above, due to the slightly larger window and marginally increased elevation. The dining kitchen at the rear on the first floor is equally well proportioned. For those who might prefer a more conventional layout, the solution may be to simply to relocate the kitchen back into the rear ground floor bedroom as it must originally have been, and to utilise the front ground floor room as the sitting room, leaving the two first floor rooms as excellent double bedrooms.

The property enjoys a lovely easily managed terraced gardens at the front, with breath-taking panoramic views from the upper patio style portion in particular.

This attractive cottage is quietly placed on the fringe of the village of Coniston where a pleasing variety of shops, restaurants, cafes and a school are all located. Mountain and lakeshore walks and a variety of water sports are readily accessible for those with a love of the outdoors whilst cruises on the lake, John Ruskins home at Brantwood, The Ruskin Museum with exhibitions relating to Donald Campbells exploits in Bluebird on Coniston Water and literary connections with Arthur Ransomes Swallows and Amazons all prove very popular with the year round visiting tourists – along, of course, with the locally brewed ale available in the variety of lovely traditional Lakeland Inns in and around the village.

A superb opportunity in a wonderful setting.

Ideal Holiday Letting Opportunity In the opinion of Lakelovers (https://www.lakelovers.co.uk)

"35 Bank Terrance is well positioned with views to Coniston Water, easy access to Coniston Village and the popular footpaths to the Coniston Fells. Coniston benefits from strong year round demand for holiday accommodation and this delightful little cottage could be easily brought to the holiday cottage letting market and quickly establish itself as a popular and successful holiday let. Once presented and marketed correctly we would expect the cottage to generate a gross income of £18-23,000 per year with the opportunity to grow this further based on good reviews and repeat bookings."
