Nestled quietly within the peaceful and authentic Lake District village of Bootle, Manse Cottage is a beautifully restored period home that blends timeless 18th-century character with modern-day comfort and elegance. Originally dating back to circa 1782, this handsome detached country cottage occupies a charming position close to the dramatic scenery of the Western Fells, home to Scafell Pike, Wastwater, and St Olaf’s, England’s highest, deepest and smallest, respectively.

Immaculately presented throughout, the accommodation flows with understated style and warmth. At its heart, a cosy living room with classic proportions, log burning stove and double glazing offers an inviting space to unwind. The study is a versatile space offering options for home office or second reception while the bespoke fitted kitchen, cleverly designed and "L" shaped in layout, makes excellent use of space and natural light, ideal for relaxed dining and family life.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, including a luxurious master bedroom with a private en-suite shower room. The main family bathroom is elegantly appointed, offering a peaceful retreat after a day exploring the fells.

Outside, the gardens are both manageable and charming, with areas laid to lawn, a lovely decked terrace for alfresco dining, and mature planting providing year-round colour and privacy. A detached garage and double driveway offer generous private parking.

The centre features a collection of railway memorabilia and artefacts, as well as a model railway display.
