If you are looking for a characterful cottage in a beautiful location, Prospect Cottage is the place for you.   
  
You’ll find original features throughout this delightful home, with a black iron fireplace, wooden flooring, and high ceilings.

Fully equipped, the kitchen has modern appliances and cookware so you can prepare meals easily. The dining area includes a table and six dining chairs, the perfect setting for home cooked meals with your loved ones.

A shower room can be found on the ground floor. Home to a large walk-in shower, WC and wash basin, this space is modern and stylish.   
  
You’ll find three bedrooms at Prospect Cottage, all of which can be found on the first floor. With muted colour palettes, specifically chosen to encourage rest, each bedroom features plush bedding and premium bed linens to ensure you have a great night’s sleep.   
  
The first two bedrooms boast double beds, and the third bedroom has a bunk with two single beds.

Gummers How, known as the perfect family Wainwright, is a short walk from the house with stunning 360 degree views of the fells and peninsulas. Fell Foot Park is a 5-minute walk from the cottage which gives excellent access to the south shore of lake Windermere where you can hire rowing boats and canoes. Take the ferry to Lakeside to join the Windermere steamers, or go wild swimming or visit the National Trust Cafe.   
  
As well as easy access to the fells of the South Lakes, the new Cumbrian Coastal Path gives easy access to the Furness Peninsula and along the coast to Walney Island with its nature reserves and colony of seals to the sand dunes of Sandscale Hawes famous for its colony of natterjack toads.
