The house is extremely well-presented throughout and full of rustic character and charm. Description Mosser 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.
