A Lake District cottage dating back to the 17th century has gone on the market for £1 million.

The detached three-bedroom property, south of Windermere, was built in 1670 and is described by estate agents, Arnold Greenwood, as being "charming" and "traditional".

The house is located just off Crook Road, a few minutes' drive from Bowness-on-Windermere.

It is described by the estate agents as being situated in a "rural setting" with "far-reaching countryside views".

The property has three "generous" reception rooms, each with a number of period features such as exposed timber beams and stone fireplaces with wood-burning stoves.
