1 Beacon Cottage

1 Beacon Cottage is a traditional stone cottage set on a three-acre property near Ivegill, surrounded by the owner's gardens and orchards. The building faces Blencathra across open countryside, a view that reaches into the house from multiple rooms. The cottage is your own for the stay, with parking for two cars on site and a pub within walking distance.

Downstairs holds a living room with a 55-inch smart TV opening into a conservatory, a kitchen with a range cooker and dishwasher with patio doors to the garden, a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, and a separate toilet. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with a bath; the second bedroom contains two single beds, a sofa bed, and an ensuite with a shower. Electricity, wifi, bed linen and towels are included. The heating runs on oil. The cottage suits families or small groups exploring the Lake District—Hadrian's Wall and Scotland's border are both reachable for day trips. The garden is lawned with a patio and furniture; there's a bike store available. The garden has two steps and an unfenced pond twenty yards from the house.
