SUMMARY
The Hamlet of Bowland Bridge, tucked under Cartmel Fell,
is one of the most sought after areas in South Lakeland
with the attraction of a local shop, two Public Houses, in

Considerable thought has been given to the restoration,
conversion and extension to the original pair of Cottages,
including the impressive addition of the south facing
Garden Room, off which is a Sauna, with a Study and

including a wealth of excellent joinery, complement and
retain the original character and undoubted charm.
