Situated just south of the village centre, is this delightful, whitewashed end of terrace property. Located in a quiet area of Coniston called 'The Banks', the cottage is still within walking distance of the village & all of its amenities.
Historically cottages on 'The Banks' were originally built in the 1850s, for employees of the Coniston Copper Company and it is likely the middle management lived here, appreciating its views and close proximity to the village.
Today Poppy Cottage is a cosy and welcoming home, recently refurbished to a comfortable standard by its present day owners. Ideally situated this cosy cottage enjoys immediate access onto the surrounding open fells and the delights of the village are less than a 10 minute stroll downhill. The cottage enjoys fantastic views from the master bedroom which looks out towards Coniston Water and the rolling Grizedale hills beyond.
In essence Poppy Cottage is perfect for couples, friends and small families looking to explore the delights of Coniston and the surrounding Lakes area.
