Discover the rural charm of Cumbria’s South Lakes at Pepper Cottage, a delightful and private retreat tucked away in the hamlet of Knipefold. This refurbished getaway perfectly blends traditional character with modern facilities, offering an inviting escape for families, couples, and friends looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Lake District.
The cottage is thoughtfully arranged to accommodate up to 4 guests, featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 beds, and 2 bathrooms. The layout is designed for comfort and relaxation, ensuring every guest has a peaceful space to unwind.
Inside, the heart of the home is a sociable, light, and airy 50sqm open-plan ground floor. This space combines a bespoke, fully equipped kitchen with a casual breakfast bar and a lounge area where guests can relax on a comfortable L-shaped leather sofa or a reclining armchair by the log burning fireplace. For more formal meals, a dining table seats six, perfect for showcasing local produce. The interior is further enhanced by an enthralling entertainment system and timed underfloor heating for year-round comfort.
The Master Bedroom is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring a King-size bed, soft white linens, and spectacular views over the valley and garden. It includes an indulgent adjoining en-suite with a walk-in rainfall style shower and a freestanding bath. The second bedroom is furnished with two single beds and offers pleasant garden views, with access to a separate modern bathroom featuring a wet room and floor-to-ceiling tiles.
Outdoor living is a highlight of the property, with a south-facing patio accessed via bi-fold doors. The enclosed grassy garden and gravelled areas provide a safe environment for children and pets. At the summit of the garden, a quiet seating area is ideal for yoga, reading, or evening stargazing.
Located in Outgate, Nr Ambleside, the cottage is in a prime position for exploration. The 12th-century village of Hawkshead is just over a mile away, home to the Beatrix Potter Gallery and traditional pubs. The pretty town of Ambleside is a short 10-minute drive away, offering Roman forts, lake cruises, and the famous Stock Ghyll Force waterfall. Nearby Grasmere and Coniston offer further literary history, luxury spas, and mountain biking in Grizedale Forest.
