North Cottage – A Stylish Family Retreat Once Owned by Beatrix Potter
Nestled in the heart of the Lake District, North Cottage is a beautifully renovated holiday home that offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Once owned by the beloved author and illustrator Beatrix Potter, this unique property holds a quiet magic – a sense of storybook wonder, paired with all the contemporary touches needed for a luxurious family escape.
Spread across three thoughtfully designed floors, North Cottage has been lovingly restored to honour its heritage while embracing a clean, stylish aesthetic. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by warm, light-filled spaces with soft tones, carefully chosen furnishings, and subtle nods to the cottage’s past. The interiors strike a balance between modern simplicity and country comfort, making it both elegant and family-friendly.
The first floor houses a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area – the true heart of the home. The kitchen is fully equipped with high-spec appliances and a large island perfect for morning coffees or evening nibbles. The dining space comfortably seats large families and opens out into a cosy yet sophisticated living room with plush seating and a wood-burning stove – ideal for curling up after a day exploring the lakes. The flow between the kitchen and living space creates a sociable environment, perfect for both laid-back meals and special celebrations.
On the ground floor, you’ll find three beautifully appointed bedrooms – a superking, a king, and a twin – alongside a spacious family bathroom, an en-suite, and a convenient utility area with a separate W/C. Each bedroom has been styled with care, offering crisp linens, layered textures, and calming tones to create restful spaces for both children and adults. Upstairs, the second floor reveals a serene room with its own en-suite bathroom – a peaceful hideaway beneath the eaves, perfect for parents or couples seeking a bit of privacy.
What truly sets North Cottage apart is its seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The enclosed garden has been carefully landscaped to offer something for everyone: a children’s playground area to keep little ones entertained, and an elegant outdoor dining space complete with seating, lighting, and space to enjoy long summer evenings with a glass of wine in hand. Whether you’re hosting a family barbecue, sipping morning tea in the fresh air, watching the children play under the wide Lake District skies, or unwinding in the hot tub, the garden is a standout feature.
Steeped in literary history, full of character, and equipped for modern family living, North Cottage is more than just a place to stay – it’s a place to unwind, reconnect, and make lasting memories. With walking trails on your doorstep, charming villages nearby, and the timeless beauty of the Lake District all around, North Cottage offers a truly magical escape for families and groups alike.
