Margaret House - Large house with garden & parking

Margaret House is a spacious contemporary detached property with a garden to three sides, set in a peaceful location just a five-minute walk from the shops, cafes, and the Ullswater Steamers. The spacious house has a fantastic layout comprising a large living area with comfy sofa seating, a wood-burning stove, and a large Freeview smart TV—perfect for those not-sunny days.

Adjacent to the living area is the well-equipped country-cottage-style kitchen with all the mod-cons and bags of workspace and storage, perfect for cooking up a family meal to enjoy around the large rectangular dining table. Weather permitting, open the French patio doors to the paved patio and garden, expanding the social space even more!

Margaret House has four spacious bedrooms on the first floor, accessed via the floating staircase. Both double bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms, and the house bathroom comprises a bath, separate shower, toilet, and basin. All the bathrooms have heated towel rails.

On the heating note, the house is kept cosy and warm thanks to the oil-fired boiler—the ground floor has underfloor heating, and the first floor has radiators in all the rooms. Both floors can be adjusted independently.

The outside space is equally special, but we must point out that the garden has terraced levels, so you will need to keep an eye on the kids. To the side of the house is the driveway offering off-street parking, and to the rear is the paved lower level of the garden and the lawn upper level.

The setting, in Pooley Bridge, is prime Lake District territory with classic fell top and lower-level walks all around. The village has many cafes, pubs, and independent shops, including a convenience store. The village bus stop connects with Penrith in one direction and Windermere in the other via Aira Force, Glenridding, Pooley Bridge and Kirkstone Pass.

We highly recommend Margaret House for families and friends. It's a stunning location with lots to do nearby.

Good response to fixing leak in downstairs toilet. Unable to figure out how to turn on the downstairs heat. Dust and spiderwebs behind head board of metal bed. Pull cord missing over sink in that en suite. Otherwise very nice.
