Low-maintenance cottage within the Lake District — ideal first home or holiday retreat.
Sunny double lounge with wood-burning stove and slate hearth
Set within Backbarrow and inside the Lake District National Park, this well-kept semi-detached cottage offers practical living for a first-time buyer or down-sizer. The lounge centres on a slate-hearth wood-burning stove and leads to a bright conservatory that opens onto a composite deck — an easy-care outdoor space suited to low-maintenance lifestyles.
The breakfast kitchen is equipped with modern grey units and integrated Bosch appliances, with a useful utility housing the oil boiler and appliance spaces. The upstairs layout currently offers two double bedrooms plus a dressing room/third bedroom with a Velux window; the home was originally a three-bed and could be reconfigured back easily.
Practical features include double glazing, oil central heating, two parking spaces (one accessed between houses), and superfast mobile signal. The garden is deliberately low maintenance with composite decking and artificial turf — good for buyers who prefer minimal upkeep or a holiday-let style lock-up-and-leave property.
Buyers should note the property uses oil heating, which can be more expensive than mains gas, and broadband is average rather than high-speed full fibre. The shower room is a single, modern facility, so larger households may find a second bathroom desirable. Overall, the house suits those seeking a compact, characterful home with scope to alter the bedroom layout.
