Cragg House is a rare Lakeland find: a sympathetically renovated 17th-century detached house with an adjoining one-bedroom cottage. The property blends original character — beams, flagstones, cast-iron ranges — with a light-filled garden room added during renovation. Set in an elevated, private spot within an unspoilt hamlet, it offers rural peace inside the Lake District National Park.
The main house provides flexible living over two floors: two traditional receptions, a snug currently used as a ground-floor bedroom, kitchen with Aga, garden room and three first-floor bedrooms. The adjoining Cragg Cottage is self-contained with an open-plan living kitchen, double bedroom and ensuite — useful for guests or a dependent family member. Informal gardens, gated drive, single garage and parking complete the picture.
Practical points to note: the plot is small and the property sits on a quiet hamlet lane rather than a large estate. Indoor mobile signal is unlikely and broadband/upload speeds are modest; outdoor signal is available. Council tax is Band F and the property will be sold at auction. A small parcel of land to the south and east is common land.
This house will suit buyers seeking a distinctive, character-rich home or a family wanting separate guest/annexe accommodation in a peaceful National Park setting. The house has been recently renovated with care, but its age and quirky layout mean it will not suit buyers wanting ultra-modern, open-plan minimalism.
