A newly renovated 4/5 bedroom detached home nestled in the stunning Wasdale valley in the Lake District National Park, with the Screes as it’s backdrop and just a short walk to the beautiful Wastwater, with the Wainwright fells of Buckbarrow and Middle Fell being literally on the doorstep to the rear of the property and a delightful low level walk with stunning views taking you to Nether Wasdale with its 2 pubs. Surrounded by 3 acres (approx.) of grazing land, which is included in the sale, Low Greendale also features a small adjoining barn conversion, recently renovated to an excellent standard by the present owners and now trading as a boutique holiday cottage.

Low Greendale presents an exciting opportunity for both families and buyers looking to relocate to the Lake District, with the main house offering well appointed and flexible living accommodation.  Briefly comprising spacious L-shaped lounge/diner, kitchen, large utility room, home office/bedroom 5, spacious sun room and rear porch to the ground floor. To the first floor there is a contemporary family shower room and 4 double bedrooms, all of which enjoy a delightful aspect with views towards The Screes, Scafell Pike and surrounding countryside. The master also benefits from a spacious en suite bathroom. The adjoining studio annex, Little Greendale, is currently utilised alongside the main house as a successful holiday cottage, and could also be perfect for a dependent relative having its own separate entrance and large enclosed lawned garden. The property itself offers an open plan lounge/kitchen/bedroom and a modern 3 piece bathroom. All fittings and contents throughout the house and annex are available to purchase by separate negotiation if required. 

Externally, the property boasts off road parking to the side for up to 3 cars, there is a delightful enclosed garden to the rear with several seating areas and access to a boiler room. Also included within the sale are 3 acres of surrounding grazing land.

It is rare to encounter such an opportunity in this location, let alone one introduced to the market, with Low Greendale also having just undergone a comprehensive renovation throughout and being sold together with a delightful studio annex to provide an additional income stream immediately and circa 3 acres of surrounding land. Strong levels of interest are expected in the property, an early inspection is therefore essential in order to avoid disappointment.

The valley is incredibly beautiful, with fields and meadows interspersed with ancient oak woodlands leading up to Wastwater and surrounded with the backdrop of impressive hills and mountains including Scafell Pike and Great Gable with other less challenging summits such as Kirk Fell and Yewbarrow.
