Shipwreck Cottage, nestled in the picturesque village of Haverigg in south-west Cumbria, serves as an inviting retreat for couples, small families, or groups of up to four. This charming semi-detached property is ideally situated for those eager to explore the nearby coast and the stunning landscapes of the Lake District National Park. Accessing the cottage involves a shared path with a neighboring property, but it features the convenience of an external gate leading to the street at the rear, along with roadside parking available at the front.
Upon entering Shipwreck Cottage, guests are welcomed into a cozy lounge adorned with comfortable seating, perfect for unwinding while enjoying entertainment on the Freeview TV, with the added warmth of a woodburning stove. The adjoining dining room, with its inviting gas fire, provides a delightful space for enjoying home-cooked meals together. The fully-equipped kitchen facilitates culinary adventures, and a back door leads to a quaint courtyard-style garden. A sunroom offers a peaceful nook for reading, complemented by a convenient shower room on the ground floor.
Upstairs, the cottage features two spacious bedrooms: a versatile twin that can be converted into a super-king-size bed, and a double bedroom, catering to various group configurations. Both rooms share a family bathroom with a bath. A unique small metal staircase leads to an attic conversion, which serves as an excellent study area or a playful retreat for children. Outside, the courtyard garden invites guests to enjoy morning coffee or alfresco lunches, while a shed provides storage for bikes, making it a practical choice for outdoor enthusiasts.
Shipwreck Cottage is centrally located within Haverigg, offering easy access to a variety of shops, pubs, cafés, and restaurants just a short walk away.
