The cottage is a cosy
traditional stone built
Lakeland
quarryman’s cottage over 150 years old in the heart of the
Lake District
. It is one of ten identical terraced cottages backing directly onto
the hillside enjoying magnificent views across
Langdale
Valley
to Lingmoor Fell and the Langdale Pikes. The cottage faces west and
in summer enjoys a sunny aspect from mid morning to sunset.

| The
Cottage |
The
cottage has been furnished in keeping with a country cottage. Many
of the original features have been retained including the original cast
iron Victorian open fireplace that is fully functional in the sitting room
(coal is provided). All doors have been stripped back to the
original wood as have the window seats and main bedroom floor. Two
large wool rugs for warmth and comfort mainly cover the slate flagged
floor in the sitting room and the original floorboards in the main
bedroom.
The English Tourist Council quality
assessment report describes it as “…a well presented cottage set in a
delightful location with excellent views”.
In detail, the cottage
comprises
- Fully equipped kitchen,
which has recently been tastefully refurbished with many modern
conveniences including built in microwave. Pine table
& seats provide a dining area and there is a modern
washer-drier machine available for use.

| The
Area |
Chapel
Stile is a traditional
Lakeland
village. It has approximately 400 inhabitants and consists of a
Co-op store (closed on Sundays in winter), pub and church. Quiet in
the winter, bustling in the summer, the village is within ten minutes walk
(half a mile) from the cottage.
The location is ideal for exploring
central
Lake District
. It is a walker’s paradise ranging from gentle strolls along the
valley floor to strenuous hikes onto the fells. Tracks lead directly
from the cottage onto the fells behind with rewarding views within five
minutes looking down the valley. Prominent fells in the vicinity
include the Langdale Pikes, Bow Fell, Pike O’Stickle & Sca
Fell. Other local areas of interest (within four miles) include:-
- Grasmere
village, lake and William Wordsworth’s “Dove Cottage”
- Lake
Coniston
and Ruskin’s “Brantwood” country home
- Hawkshead and Beatrix Potter’s
“Hill Tops” home
- Lake Windermere
and Ambleside
There are many traditional English
country pubs including Wainwright's Inn (Chapel Stile), The Britannia (Elterwater),
