Estate agents have said this could be one of the oldest properties in the Lake District.
The Grade II listed cottage, situated on Braithwaite Fold in Bowness-on-Windermere, is on the market for £1,250,000.
The property is said to be more than 400 years old, but the exact age has not been disclosed.
According to the estate agents, Thomson Hayton Winkley, the detached cottage blends "charming period character with impressive living space".
The agents also said the house is "meticulously kept" and sits on a "generous plot" in one of Bowness-on-Windermere’s "most desirable locations".
The historic property is just a one-minute walk from the marina and moments from the lake.
Inside the house, the ground floor features an "elegant" sitting room with exposed beams, original windows, and a fabulous gas living flame fire.
There is also a separate dining room with a log-burning stove and a rustic, fitted kitchen with wooden units and granite worktops.
The kitchen also has a back door that leads directly into the garden, along with a utility room with a WC.
Upstairs, the house has four bedrooms, including three doubles, and one single room, which could be used as a home office, dressing room, or nursery.
Two of the bedrooms have en-suites, and there is a four-piece family bathroom with a freestanding bath.
The property also benefits from a Spinning Gallery and built-in storage.
Separate from the main house, the barn contains a home gym and a newly converted annexe, which could be used for guest accommodation or holiday letting, subject to necessary consents.
The annexe has a ground floor home office/living room, a media room with a vaulted ceiling, one double bedroom, and a modern shower room.
The estate agents have also said that this part of the house has "superb versatility".
Outside the house, the property sits within wraparound gardens, with lawns, patio areas, and mature shrubs.
There is a gate at the bottom of the garden that leads directly to the marina.
The property is accessed through an electrically gated entrance, with extensive driveway parking for several vehicles.
The estate agents said: "This exceptional home blends charming period character with impressive living space, offering a rare opportunity in this highly sought after setting.
"With exposed beams, original windows and rustic stonework throughout, the property exudes warmth, history and timeless appeal.
"This exceptional home combines character, quality and incredible location in the very heart of the Lake District."
