Beacon Cottage, Lake Bank, Coniston, LA12 8DL - Matthews Benjamin

Previously a cottage and a barn which have been amalgamated into one deceptively spacious and well planned and presented cottage.  In addition, it benefits from three reception rooms, two ensuites and a house bathroom, plus a highly useful attic room which could be used as an occasional fifth bedroom or study. Attractive features throughout including solid oak floors, oil fired Aga and hardwood double glazed sealed windows.

Nestled in an attractive setting, set in approximately 6 acres of shared grounds as well as 1/3 acre of private garden and lovely country and seasonal lake views.  Beacon Cottage is one of 11 individual properties on the Lake Bank Estate. Car parking for three vehicles.

A highly desirable and versatile property which would suit a wide variety of purchasers whether as a permanent residence or second/holiday home.

Lake Bank is a private residential estate lying to the north of Water Yeat. It is a small hamlet of 11 properties on the west side of Coniston Water, one of the most well known bodies of water in the heart of the Lake District being the third largest by volume, and the fifth largest by area. It is five miles long by half a mile wide and there are views of it from inside the cottage and from the gardens. Local places of interest include Brantwood (once home to John Ruskin, one of England’s greatest art critics, thinkers and social reformers) and the Ruskin Museum in Coniston. Beacon Cottage (named after its proximity to Beacon Fell and Beacon Tarn) is only 300m walk from Lake Bank Jetty and Lake Bank Boat Club at the southern end of Coniston Water which is visited by the Coniston National Trust Gondola and lake launches. The Boat Club is an ideal place to keep a canoe or boat tender to explore the southern end of Coniston Water, including the ‘Octopus Lagoon’ on the Crake River in Arthur Ransome’s ‘Swallows and Amazons’.

Coniston has a selection of essential shops and general service providers including a Co-op general store, doctors’ surgery, chemist and petrol filling station. There are primary and secondary schools (aged 11 – 16 years).

The property benefits from its own private garden which is approximately 1/3 of an acre with a variety of mature bushes, trees, lawn and seasonal lake views.  Substantial terrace providing useful extension to the property.   Shed with mains electric and useful undercroft providing good storage facility with electric. Outside tap.

The property benefits from having shared access to approximately 6 acres of shared open grounds and woodland which is enjoyed by the residents of the estate.
