Buttercrag Cottage

Sat on the banks of the river Rothay with views towards Alcock tarn and Stone Arthur to the East, Buttercrage cottage has a superb South facing patio to take in Grasmere’s wonderful panoramic scenery when the weather permits.

Situated in a quiet corner of Grasmere but only a stones throw from the centre of the village, its grounds are adjacent to the river Rothay where lucky visitors may spot otters in their natural habitat. The area is known for an array of wildlife and residents may also have sightings of rare red squirrels, deer and birds of prey as well as surrounding fields of livestock.

The cottage is well equipped for 6 people and has gas central heating with an endless supply of hot water for you to soak your aching limbs after a long days walk in either of the 2 bathrooms. The property has full kitchen facilities with fitted units equipped with an electric fan oven, gas hob, dishwasher, microwave, fridge/ freezer, washing machine and dryer. There is also a large kitchen table for 6 set on the original Lakeland stone flags, perfect for an evening relaxing indoors if the Lakeland weather is playing up to it’s stereotype (it’s why the grass is so green!). The lounge is cosy with comfortable seating for every resident. An original Victorian feature fire place dominates the room that features a smart TV, DVD player, books and local information tucked into one of the numerous wall cupboards.

Upstairs on the 1st floor is a double bedroom with a small original fireplace with views over the river; a bunk bed room with full size pine bunks sporting fine views of Heron Pike and a bathroom with a corner bath, toilet and basin. On the top floor, reached by an original steep flight of stairs, is a bedroom with exposed beams that can be used as a double or twin room, an additional bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the property.

Outside there is ample, off road parking for 3 cars with free access to 3.0 KW  home charging point for those using an electric vehicle and a south facing patio with table and chairs looking over the river towards Buttercrags and Alcock tarn (a wonderful spot to witness a sunrise).
