On the first floor, there are a further two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The owners are keen gardeners and have created a charming cottage garden with spring bulbs, flowering shrubs and planted borders. There is also a terrace with stone seating lawn, two stone outhouses plus a spacious garage plus a second garage, which could be a hobby room/workshop. There is also parking for several cars.
The hamlet of Cowgill is close to Dent railway station with servives to Leeds and Carlisle and the market town of Sedbergh is nine miles away. The cottage is on the market for £525,000 with Hackney and Leigh’s Sedbergh office.
