A “DELIGHTFUL” Lakeland cottage in Staveley has been much improved to create a spacious family home with characterful features.

Hollow Cottage, at 35 Main Street, is constructed from stone and slate and offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms, an excellent kitchen and contemporary-style bathroom, good-sized back garden and a useful outbuilding with power and light.

The agents, Michael CL Hodgson, say this detached property is “a real gem”, with double glazing, modern electric heating and views of Craggy Wood. It is on the market for £315,000.

An entrance hall with understairs cupboard leads to the spacious lounge that has windows front and back, a fireplace, built-in bookcases, beamed ceiling and door to the back garden.

A modern yet rustic brick fireplace with wooden mantelpiece makes a focal point in the dining room, which also has windows on two sides. The fitted kitchen is well-equipped with built-in double oven, ceramic hob, fridge, freezer and extractor hood; plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine; breakfast table, tiled floor and window overlooking the garden.

The tiled bathroom has a modern white suite with panelled bath, shower and screen, wall-hung basin, loo and ladder towel radiator.

A dog-leg staircase leads up to the first-floor landing with its built-in storage cupboard, access to a boarded loft, and toilet with basin. There are two double bedrooms, a third with a shelved alcove, and a fourth that would be ideal as a study or home office.

The attractively laid-out walled back garden offers herbaceous flower beds, a paved patio and chipped stone paths; and there is the potential to create off-road parking subject to planning consent.
