A charming early 17th-century cottage in the Lake District is on the market for £895,000.
The Lodge, located at High Wray, Ambleside, is described by estate agents Fine & Country as a "characterful period cottage" with a rich history and a "wealth of original features".
The property has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and three reception rooms, all set within a peaceful rural setting near Windermere.
The current owners have extended the cottage to include a dining kitchen, blending the original character of the cottage with new modern features.
The Lodge has been operating as a holiday let, with the estate agents describing it as an "attractive opportunity".
The Lodge is a five-minute walk away from Windermere and is close to the villages of Hawkshead and Ambleside, which have a range of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants.
The National Trust site of Wray Castle is also nearby and offers scenic walks and outdoor leisure opportunities.
The cottage is accessed through the rear door, which opens into the dining kitchen.
This room features modern base units with granite worktops and tiled splashbacks and integrated appliances including an electric Rangemaster cooker with gas hobs, a Neff dishwasher, and a Shaws Classic Butler Ceramic sink.
There is also a freestanding Smeg fridge freezer, a breakfast table, porcelain tiled flooring, and a dual fuel log burner.
Double glazed patio doors lead out to the front seating area and garden.
A slate step leads down from the kitchen into the parlour, a cosy space perfect for dining with exposed beams providing views over the garden.
This room leads into the main lounge, which features an open fireplace, original exposed beams, and a wide staircase to the first floor.
The snug, a cosy retreat with a dual fuel log burner, is also located on the ground floor and houses a built-in cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine.
The first floor has a spacious landing with exposed beams and a storage cupboard housing the Valliant boiler.
The master bedroom is a spacious double room with built-in wardrobes and a contemporary ensuite shower room.

The cottage also has a luxurious four-piece suite with a deep freestanding bath, a separate shower cubicle, and a window seat overlooking the gardens.
The Lodge is set within a generous plot with ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
There is a patio seating area in the garden, and a brook runs through the grounds.
