1 High Knott Cottage, Ings, Kendal, LA8

1 High Knott Cottage is a beautifully presented and thoughtfully renovated three-bedroom luxury barn conversion, completed in 2015 and offering generously proportioned accommodation throughout.

The heart of the home is a superb open-plan living space, featuring a striking vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses and original stonework, complemented by a stunning outlook over the surrounding countryside. The spacious room flows seamlessly into a dedicated dining area and a well-appointed kitchen, which benefits from a central island with seating, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The ground floor accommodation comprises three generously sized double bedrooms, with the guest bedroom enjoying the benefit of an en-suite shower room, together with a separate family bathroom. Underfloor heating runs throughout the kitchen and all ground floor areas, providing an additional level of comfort.

The traditional character of the cottage has been carefully retained and seamlessly combined with modern comforts. Original features are beautifully showcased throughout, with many of the rooms displaying exposed stonework, timber beams and original woodwork, or a combination of all three. Further modern enhancements include Salus controls for the electric convection heating, Oak doors and LED lighting throughout and Google Home security cameras.

Externally, the property is approached via a tarmacked driveway providing ample off-road parking, while the current owners have created a generous and attractive garden area, offering a lovely space in which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. There are also three useful storage sheds.

Situated midway between Kendal and Windermere just off the A591 up a local authority maintained lane. Forming part of a small cluster of just six residential buildings, the property enjoys a wonderfully peaceful and tranquil setting, surrounded by open fields and away from the busier tourist centres, whilst remaining within easy reach of local amenities and the attractions of the wider area.

The property is subject to an occupancy condition requiring it to be occupied as the owner's main residence. Please contact our office for further information regarding the terms of this condition.
