Damson Cottages, Satterthwaite

Description 4 Damson Cottages is a charming two bedroom mid-terraced cottage, with a pretty Lakeland stone frontage, and lots of potential. The cottage is in the perfect location for nature lovers and walking enthusiasts alike, situated only 3.7 miles from Grizedale Forest and 5.9 miles from Hay Bridge Nature Reserve. The perfect property for first time buyers, a buy-to-let, or your new home; don't wait, and come and see it now! Local occupancy conditions apply - please contact the office for further details.

The front door is just beyond the charming cobblestone pavement, and leads into the small entrance porch, (which has a cupboard with built-in shelving to house the fuse box) and the living room. The room is deceptively spacious, with room under the stairs for storage, The living room certainly has the traditional cottage feel with wooden ceiling beams, and features a fireplace with stone surround. The sash window provides a view to the front of the property, and ensures that the living room is light and welcoming; with a deep windowsill and potential for a lovely window seat!

A door leads to the kitchen, currently fitted with wood-effect wall and base units and laminate worktops, and having part-tiled walls. A lovely sash window above the sink lets plenty of natural light stream into the little kitchen. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine, and room for appliances to be installed. There is room for a breakfast table in front of the glazed double doors; enjoy your morning coffee with the doors open, and a gentle breeze, with a view over the rear garden.

Upstairs, the first floor accommodation comprises two well-sized bedrooms and the bathroom. Bedroom one is a double room, with two windows having views over the front of the property. The room is characterful, with charming wood beams, and alcove space for a wardrobe or perhaps bookshelves. There is a built-in cupboard which currently houses the boiler, and provides additional storage space. Bedroom two is a smaller double room, and the sash window enjoys a view over the rear garden.

The bright three price bathroom includes a bathtub with Mira shower over, pedestal wash hand basin, and WC, and overlooks the rear garden. The bathroom is part-tiled, with laminate flooring, and features the same wooden beams as the rest of the cottage.

The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn, and is accessed from the kitchen; the glazed double doors opening up onto the patio at the top of the sloping garden.
