Guardhouse Cottage benefits from outside space that, in keeping with the house itself, has been designed and created to make the most of the location and views. A sweeping, open patio looks towards Blencathra and to one side is the detached garage. The garage has been built to blend with the house and surrounding architecture. There is also additional off-road parking space. Beyond the garage is a raised garden terrace for a hot tub reached via stone steps.
