About
A well-proportioned three-bedroom holiday cottage in the heart of Bowness, ideally situated within easy walking distance of the village's popular bars, restaurants and shops.
The property benefits from off-road parking and a garage and is offered with the potential to continue as a successful holiday let.
Furniture, fixtures and fittings are available by separate negotiation. The property is entered via an entrance hall, providing a practical space for coats and boots.
Off the hallway is a useful ground floor cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin, also housing the gas central heating boiler.
The dual-aspect living room is bright and welcoming, with sash windows allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the room.
The spacious, triple-aspect dining kitchen is another light-filled room, offering ample space for a dining table and making it an ideal hub for family meals or entertaining.
Fitted with contemporary red wall and base units complemented by grey concrete-effect worktops, the kitchen features an inset stainless steel sink with mixer tap.

The room is finished with a tiled floor and recessed ceiling spotlights. Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, which provides access to the loft space, three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is a generous dual-aspect double room and the largest of the three.
Bedroom two is a further double room, currently arranged as a twin, while bedroom three is a comfortable single room, ideal as a child's bedroom, guest room or home office.
The family bathroom is fitted with a modern three-piece white suite comprising a WC, pedestal wash hand basin and a P-shaped bath with chrome shower over.
Additional features include a decorative inset mirror with shaver light, a white heated towel rail, recessed ceiling spotlights and part-tiled walls.
