ONCE part of a water mill, Low Mill Cottage at Underbarrow is a charming, period four-bedroom cottage with private grounds.

The property has been extended and improved to create a well-proportioned home with an entrance hall, breakfast kitchen, dining room, sitting room, conservatory, double bedroom with en suite, utility room and store to the ground floor; and three further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor.

The cottage has a lovely rural location yet is just a short drive from Kendal, and has delightful, south-facing landscaped gardens with established trees and plants and ample seating areas to take in the peaceful countryside scenery and the nearby beck. There is also plenty of off-road parking on the gravelled driveway, and a timber shed.

The cottage's entrance hall has solid beech flooring and leads to the breakfast kitchen with its Rayburn, excellent range of units, electric hob, built-in fridge and dishwasher, and glass splashbacks.

The dining room also has solid beech flooring, and the sitting room features double-glazed French doors, a multi-fuel stove with slate hearth, understairs cupboards, exposed beam and stained glass panels. The conservatory has a tiled floor and uPVC roof.

The cottage's ground-floor bedroom offers a built-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room, complete with tiled walls and exposed beams.

Heading upstairs, one of the three bedrooms has fitted wardrobes, bedside cabinets and shelves, while another has a built-in wardrobe, cupboard and fitted shelves.

The family bathroom features a white three-piece suite with basin, bath and shower, and toilet, plus a built-in airing cupboard, tiled walls and floor, recessed spotlights and a heated towel radiator.
