The Old Dairy Cottage @ Ainstable
A beautifully renovated Cumbrian cottage set in a peaceful location with wonderful views.. 1 step to entrance.
All on the Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Freeview Smart TV
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave
Utility Room: Fridge/Freezer, Washing Machine
Conservatory.
Bedroom: Kingsize (5ft) Bed
Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Toilet. Electric central heating (£30 winter fuel charge, October-March), electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Welcome pack. Enclosed lawned front garden with sitting-out area and garden furniture. Bike store. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. The Old Dairy Cottage is a charming little cottage which has been completely refurbished in 2023 and retains delightful original features. Converted from an old dairy, the open plan living, kitchen and dining area has exposed beams and a lovely feature in the bedroom is the exposed original stonework. From the garden and conservatory there are wonderful views where you can sit and enjoy whatever the weather.
Set on the edge of the small village of Ainstable there are wonderful walks from your doorstep, along quiet country lanes and along the beautiful River Eden only a mile away. Ainstable is a quiet little Cumbrian village with a local pub and restaurant and just over a mile away is Armathwaite, where you can jump on the Settle to Carlisle railway line, a really beautiful journey. The wonderful Cumbrian countryside is just waiting to be explored from the historical site of Hadrian’s Wall, with its rich history and dramatic landscape, to the majestic mountains and lakes of the Lake District National Park, a World Heritage Site.
A short drive will take you over the border to Scotland, to the beautiful beaches of Dumfries and Galloway and the stunning Solway Coast. The beautiful border city of Carlisle is a short drive away or a scenic trip on the Settle to Carlisle railway line, where you can visit the castle or just take in some retail therapy at some of the high street shops.
