Make your way to Witherslack, perfectly poised on the cusp of Cartmel and Grange, and within easy reach of Windermere and the wider Lake District. A two-minute drive from the A590, discover The Old Post House serenely set in a peaceful pocket of countryside.

Park up and sense the seclusion as the worries of the wider world slip away, passing through the gate and approaching the whitewashed, traditional-style front of this 1860s country cottage. Passing by the detached garage and wood store, head to the stone storm porch, an ideal spot in which to leave muddy wellies and tangled dog leads.

A warm welcome awaits immediately upon entry into the large, open plan kitchen diner. Reassuringly modern and exceptionally spacious for a cottage of this era, light streams in through a substantial window.

A small burst of stairs leads up to a cosy and warm lounge. The perfect reading retreat, bright and inviting, with a cosy log burner in front of which to curl up on the sofa. Tucked away to the right, the room extends into a study area beneath the window. Sit at the desk to work, mesmerised by the flocks of blue tits and other birds who swoop down to feast on the feeders. There is handy storage beneath the Arts and Crafts design stairs.

Head up towards the bedrooms, pausing at the half landing, where a door opens out onto a patio. In the summer months, leave it open to bring in the light and outdoors; it connects you directly to the garden.

Arriving at the main landing, turn left to explore a uniquely designed single bedroom. With glorious views out over the garden, this dream children's bedroom features a dressing table perfect for studies or as a dressing table. Beams adorn the ceiling, with clever storage cupboards built in. Across the way, discover a double bedroom, currently fitted with twin beds.

Finally, arrive at the master bedroom, overlooking the garden to the south. Bright and cheerful, with a feature beam above the bed, look out to the boughs of trees gently dancing in the breeze, listening for the odd murmur of contentment from the local cows and sheep.


Garden
Accessible through double gates or up steps along the side of the garage, the tiered garden, is filled with a variety of seating and viewing points. Follow the sun around from the covered pergola to three further patio areas. Admire the quiet.

In the words of a happy visitor to the cottage: "Landscaped hedges, bushes and plants bursting with colour and scent make it the perfect place to sit and take in the surrounding views and enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside in privacy - and even stargaze at night!"

Open the gate from the garden directly out onto Rocky common, perfect for dog walkers, this large area of common ground is covered in trees and bracken and is, quite literally, on the doorstep.
