Claybottom Farm Caldbeck is a traditional 17th century longhouse farm cottage located midway between the pretty villages of Hesket Newmarket and Caldbeck. Nestled into the slopes of the Caldbeck Fells the cottage enjoys a truly peaceful, idyllic rural location at the end of a ¾ mile lane. With original characterful features the cottage provided homely accommodation with superb views over the cottage garden to the nearby fells. The area is a haven for wildlife with fellside walks from the door with stunning vistas from the fell tops towards the Solway Firth with Scotland beyond and across to Bassenthwaite Lake, just a 20 minute drive away. The villages of Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket each have a friendly village pub, café and shop and the market town of Penrith and city of Carlisle are both less than a half hours drive with shops, pubs, restaurants and take aways.
The cottage has a breakfast room where the light floods in through the windows framing the view across the garden to High Pike and the Caldbeck fells. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed to rustle up a family feast with a Rayburn cooker, an electric hob in a centre island, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker and an American style fridge/freezer. The light and airy garden room has views to High Pike and the Caldbeck fells with comfy seating around the TV and a piano. Retreat to the cosy snug with flagged stone floors and wood burning stove with a good book or relax in front of the TV catching up with the latest shows. The ground floor cloakroom adds convenience.
