Gawthwaite Cottage is a traditional stone-built home set in a peaceful rural hamlet, offering roomy accommodation across 1,324 sq ft and large, well-landscaped gardens. The house blends period character with practical living: two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and a spacious master bedroom with en‑suite. A detached single garage and stone-chipped drive provide secure parking for a large vehicle plus visitor space.
The gardens are a standout — three terraced levels, a covered alfresco area, mature trees (including fruit and a monkey puzzle) and a substantial greenhouse ready for productive growing. Interiors are comfortable and mostly tasteful, with potential to reinstate an open fire in the lounge and to modernise the mid‑20th‑century living room and some finishes to suit personal taste.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds are very slow, so this location suits buyers who do not rely on fast home internet or who can source alternatives. The property is Freehold, in a low-crime, affluent rural area with excellent mobile signal, council tax band D and no flooding risk. Its hamlet setting gives tranquillity and countryside views but means shops and services require a short drive to Ulverston or nearby villages.
This cottage will appeal to families, downsizers or buyers seeking a peaceful second home with substantial outdoor space and scope for cosmetic updating. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale of the plot, the privacy and the character that photographs may not fully capture.
