Holiday cottage in Upper Denton, Brampton, Cumbria
Detached 250 year old Cottage With Stunning Views
Secluded Hamlet near Hadrian's Wall
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
This is an archetypal detached country cottage situated in a secluded hamlet which contains a rare Saxon chapel, close to Birdoswald Roman Fort, Hadrrian's Wall,and in easy range of the Lake District and southern Scotland. The cottage is 250 years old - built around the time Captain Cook was claiming Australia! Ideal for getting away from it all, fabulous country walks, local pubs etc. The things I love about my property are the seclusion and the fantastic scenery and views.
The church yard of the Saxon Chapel is reputed to contain the remains of the the real life character on which Sir Walter Scott based his character 'Meg Merrilees'.
