Property information
Luxury Lakeland cottage in the heart of historic Hawkshead
Picturesque Hawkshead village is characterised by the charming cottages which line its ancient cobbled streets and alleyways and you’ll find a particularly fine example in Ross Cottage, an exquisite Grade II listed, three-storey cottage which stands proudly at the head of Fountain Street, backing onto a quiet courtyard just off the Main Square.
Dating back to the 16th Century, Ross Cottage is believed to have its origins as an Inn. This impressive building has been lovingly and sympathetically renovated and restored by the current owners and now offers all the charm and original features you would expect in a traditional Lakeland cottage such as exposed beams and slate flagstone floors but with a modern touch and superb facilities for guests, including luxury bathrooms, beautifully decorated and equipped bedrooms, sociable, open-plan living space, locked bike storage and outside seating/dining areas. Set over three floors, Ross Cottage can comfortably accommodate five people.
Entering through the door of Ross Cottage into the entrance hall, equipped with coat and shoe storage, you are greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. Downstairs, the open-plan living area boasts comfortable Chesterfield sofas, a wood-burning fire and a slate-effect dining table, making it a wonderful social space in which to gather and re-live the adventures of the day. The superb fitted kitchen features a range cooker and the owner has gone to great lengths to ensure it is equipped with everything you need to enjoy meal preparation during your stay.
If you are a morning person, there is a delightful seating area at the front of the property where you can enjoy the morning sun and soak up the atmosphere of this charming chocolate box village. To the rear of the property there is a patio table where you can enjoy alfresco dining while making the most of the afternoon and evening sun. There is also a locked outhouse...
