2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming two-bedroom cottage in the Lake District — compact, characterful and chain-free.
Within Lake District National Park, close to Lake Windermere
Set within the Lake District National Park, this neatly presented two-bedroom terraced cottage offers characterful living and a convenient location close to Ulverston and Lake Windermere. The layout works well for a couple, small family or a low-maintenance holiday home: a bright dining kitchen, cosy living room with wood-burning stove, utility room and two bedrooms over two storeys. The front garden, timber shed and designated parking add practical outdoor space in an otherwise compact plot.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired (oil tank in rear yard) and drainage connects to a communal sewerage treatment plant. The property is freehold and chain free, with an annual service charge of £1,118.86 covering communal land maintenance and insurance. Broadband is average; mobile signal is excellent. The small second bedroom is best suited as a single room or for occasional use, so storage and space are limited compared with larger family homes.
This cottage is appealing to buyers who value location and character over extensive private grounds. The regular passing steam trains and close proximity to the Swan Hotel, leisure facilities and Lakeside are unique local highlights for many buyers, though the railway line will be a factor for those sensitive to noise. There is clear short-term rental potential and an estimated rental range of £800–£825 pcm, making it of interest to buy-to-let purchasers as well as owner-occupiers seeking a compact, well-located base in the Lakes.
Overall, the property combines period charm and practical updates in a tucked-away terrace of similar cottages. It will suit someone wanting low-maintenance cottage living with easy access to local amenities and the national park, provided they accept the modest internal space, oil heating and communal services.
