Brief RésuméAn outstanding three/four bedroomed detached property in idyllic rural location with beautiful gardens and grounds including stabling and paddock. The house is extremely well-presented throughout and full of rustic character and charm.

DescriptionMosser Lodge is perhaps one of those properties which almost has it all. This detached character property is hidden from public view in an idyllic rural setting just inside the north western boundary of the Lake District National Park. Nestling within its own beautifully landscaped gardens, and grounds which also include stabling and pony paddocks extending to in excess of three acres, the house and grounds enjoy some lovely views of the surrounding rolling Cumbrian landscape. The extremely well-presented accommodation includes a wealth of character features including stone flagged floors, exposed stone walls, exposed beams and timbers, oak and pine latched cottage doors and curved stone staircase. The rustic cottage charm is complemented by a striking oak framed and glazed two storey rear extension, contemporary bathroom fittings, and the currently popular large living/kitchen incorporating family space and double glass doors facing out onto the garden. A visit to Mosser Lodge is a delight, and we thoroughly recommend viewing to appreciate all the many qualities of this very special property.

Directions From Keswick take the A66 in a westerly direction towards Cockermouth. At the main roundabout/junction for Cockermouth, adjacent to the Shepherds Hotel, turn left on the A5086 towards Egremont. After approximately 2 miles turn left where signposted for Mosser. Follow this country lane and on arriving at Mosser, the first property you will see on the left-hand side, is a large barn with a red post box within its wall, and the gated entrance to Mosser Lodge will be seen on the left-hand side just before the barn.
