Deerclose West Cottage, Horsehouse

Just to the west of Horsehouse village a lane runs a short distance up the fell-side and over Deerclose Gill, passing its nearby waterfall, to Deerclose West Cottage. The former farmhouse with an adjoining barn conversion stands in tranquil and expansive grounds viewing south through the upper reaches of Coverdale.

Entry is through a porch to a large hallway, with separate toilet and wash basin, and on to a comfortable lounge with beamed ceiling and stone fireplace with wood-burning stove. From the lounge is a dining room with open beamed, pine ceiling, pinewood floor and gas flame effect stove. Off the dining room is a well equipped, lime-wood kitchen with tiled floor. An open tread pine stairway rises from the lounge to a landing serving a large double bedroom and en-suite bathroom with bath, washbasin and toilet, a large twin room with corner washbasin, a second twin room and a bathroom with bath, separate shower cubicle, washbasin and toilet.

To the side and rear of the house is a gravel and cobbled driveway with ample room for parking and to the front a lawned garden, an ideal place to sit and enjoy the panoramic view or while away a warm summers evening with friends.

The use of warm pine furniture and fittings, the retention of original ledge and braced pine doors, exposed beams and occasional exposed stonework brings traditional farmhouse character to this very comfortable family home.
