Property description
Location: The property nestles happily on the west bank of the River Sprint towards the foot of the unspoilt Longsleddale Valley, within The Lake District National Park. The house, watermill and chalets enjoy their position at a bend in the river and take advantage of the quite different, but equally attractive, riverside aspects, waterfalls and salmon pools.
To find Cocks Close from the South Lakeland Market Town of Kendal follow the A6 road North and as you begin to climb out of the town watch out for a signpost to "Longsleddale" on the left (after approximately 4 miles). Turn down to the left and go through the hamlet of Garnett Bridge, which straddles the river, and Cocks Close is only a short distance further along on the left had side of the valley.
