Description This lovely semi-detached cottage enjoys a wonderful position on the outskirts of Coniston, nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Welcome to Windy Ridge; a beautifully renovated 2 bedroomed cottage, surrounded by outstanding fell and lake views, and brimming with charm. Perfect as a second home (just as it is currently enjoyed by the owners), a peaceful permanent residence, or a holiday let to accommodate those in need of a tranquil weekend getaway.

Soaking in the picturesque views of Coniston Water and its surroundings, whilst relaxing in the private garden with a glass of wine… what more could you ask for?

Approaching the front of the property, and entering through the quaint front door, you will be welcomed into the thoughtfully decorated open plan living space. Enjoy the bright atmosphere in the triple aspect room, whilst maintaining privacy thanks to the built-in shutters on both windows. The wood-effect tiled flooring perfectly compliments the oak mantlepiece above the wood burner, maintaining a cosy feel throughout the dark winter months! Handy alcove shelving on either side of the fireplace maximises the storage space in the living area, ideal for keeping board games and books out of the way.

The kitchen is the epitome of the classic cottage feel, fitted with pale dove grey wall and base units, solid wood countertops, and partially tiled with coordinating colours. The inset Belfast sink with mixer tap over is perfectly positioned beneath the window, overlooking the rear patio; the kitchen also benefits from several integrated appliances, including Neff oven and microwave, a 4 ring gas hob with extractor hood over, under counter fridge and a slimline Indesit dishwasher. The breakfast bar and nearby dining area allow you to serve meals with ease, in this practical use of the space. The ground floor of the cottage also benefits from underfloor heating.

Heading up the stairs to the first floor, you may catch a glimpse of the sprawling fields from the little window as you reach the landing, and the two double bedroom and family bathroom. Bedroom one is a double bedroom, enjoying plenty of natural light, and stylishly decorated throughout. A slim but deep built in cupboard allows for extra storage. Bedroom two is also used as a double bedroom, and benefits from stunning views out to Coniston Water and the Old Man; a pleasure to wake up to each morning!

The family bathroom makes use of all the available space, with a full bath and shower over, vanity unit with drawer storage, and a WC. Partially tiled throughout in a soft colour palette, and decorated in line with the rest of the cottage.

The outside space at Windy Ridge is just as beautiful as the inside, a door from the kitchen heading out onto the rear patio, which provides a private area to enjoy a morning coffee or breakfast with plenty of space for garden furniture. Two outside stores offer fabulous storage for bikes, watersport equipment, etc. Following the little path around the side of the cottage, you’ll find steps up to the large garden and an outbuilding/potting shed. This is a garden that just keeps on giving, with a gravelled corner seating area creating the ideal spot for al fresco dining. The star of the show has to be the fantastic panoramic views to the fields and fells beyond, and the shimmering blue of Coniston Water; truly the cherry on top of this amazing property.

From the centre of Coniston, proceed south towards Torver passing the BP petrol station on your left as you leave the village centre. Continue along this road passing The Ship inn on your right, before taking a left hand turn signposted Coniston Hall (often carrying a sign advertising free range eggs), being the first turning into the loop of Haws bank. Follow the road round, and Windy Ridge can be found on the left hand side.
