A detached cottage situated next to the owner’s home just outside the village of Silecroft on Whicham Valley.
Sited at the base of Blackcombe, with White Combe beyond in the South West corner of the Lake District National Park.
Wainwright’s Black Combe walk can be started directly from the door of Hickory Cottage.
The rural location and open plan living makes Hickory Cottage the perfect countryside retreat for couples.
Upon entering the cottage, you are greeted by a bright and light open plan living area with comfortable sofas where you can relax comfortably and admire the countryside views, or enjoy an evening in front of the TV.
A well equipped kitchen lies across from this, with all the amenities you need to cook lovely meals after a day exploring.
To the side of the living area is a cosy double bedroom with views of the garden.
The cottage is completed by a family bathroom with Velux window.
Outside the cottage there is a gravelled garden with seating so you can sit back and enjoy a refreshing drink in the sun.
Silecroft offers an excellent pub and a golf course, set on the West Coast train branch line, which travels up the Cumbrian coast to Ravenglass and beyond, as far as Carlisle.
Just a short walk away is a beautiful, safe sandy beach; the perfect place for a relaxed stroll beside the sea, or to watch the Clydesdales Heavy Horses canter through the surf.
The ancient market town of Broughton-in-Furness is within easy driving distance, as is the seaside village of Ravenglass.
There are a range of walks and attractions to take advantage of, including breathtaking views from Blackcombe where Wales, and Scotland can all be seen, the stunning wooded trails or scenic boat trips of Lake Windermere, Scafell Pike, the homes of Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter or the historic and haunted Muncaster Castle.
