detached cottage, idyllically located at the end of a quiet no-through road within

dated circa 1820, retains many of its original features.

garden furniture. Superb views of the Skiddaw mountain range and Coledale fells
can be enjoyed at the rear of the property.

lane and a 2 minute walk from “Emily’s Escape” takes you to either the Coledale
