Description
Presented in excellent order throughout, having been significantly improved by the current owners in recent years, 2 Horrock Leas is a charming period cottage dating from the early 20th century. Originally constructed as staff accommodation for Leeming House, it served as the residence of the head gardener for the former Leeming House Estate.

Occupying a superb elevated position within the Ullswater Valley, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the lake towards Arthur's Pike. Retaining the quintessential character of an Edwardian cottage, it is complemented by attractive formal cottage gardens to the front and an enclosed patio courtyard to the rear, together with a useful external store.

The accommodation is both well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a welcoming sitting room featuring a wood-burning stove set within a sandstone fireplace, and a spacious kitchen/dining room fitted with a range of modern oak units and integrated fridge freezer. A separate utility room and ground-floor WC complete the layout.

On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom.

From the second bedroom, a fixed folding ladder provides access to the loft space, which houses the hot water cylinder and electric boiler serving the central heating system. The loft has been boarded and fitted with a wash hand basin, creating a versatile additional space with potential for future integration into the main accommodation, subject to any necessary consents and approvals.

Free from occupancy restrictions or limitations on use, the property would make an exceptional permanent residence, whilst also offering considerable appeal as a second home with the potential to generate holiday letting income when not in personal use.

Properties in this highly sought-after area rarely remain available for long, and early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the location, views, character and quality of accommodation on offer.
