Smithy Cottage is a three-bedroom, character-rich end-terrace in the heart of Threlkeld, set within the Lake District National Park. Originally a smithy and later a garage, the cottage retains exposed beams, vaulted ceiling in the sitting room and attractive fell views from several rooms. It is chain free and well placed for village amenities, a primary school and bus links into Keswick and the wider National Park.
The house offers two reception rooms, a south-facing paved seating area and a large loft/storage/study with two Velux windows. There is scope to improve internal layout and finishes to suit modern family life or holiday-let potential. The plot is large for the village, with a tarmac frontage that could be converted to off-street parking and a side patio with wide fell views.
Important practical points: the property needs renovation and modernisation, with stone walls likely uninsulated, oil-fired central heating and some electric storage heaters currently in use. Flood risk is assessed as medium; prospective buyers should commission surveys and check insurance implications. Single bathroom and steep internal steps to bedroom three may affect accessibility for some buyers.
For buyers seeking authentic character in a quiet village setting—families, downsizers or buyers after a rural renovation project—Smithy Cottage offers scale, location and views. With careful updating it could become a comfortable permanent home or a desirable holiday base in a nationally protected landscape.
