Summary - 1 BENS ROW BACKBARROW ULVERSTON LA12 8QL
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming two-bed cottage with versatile upstairs study and private rear yard.
Lake District National Park location near Windermere
This pretty two-bedroom Lakeland cottage sits in Backbarrow within the Lake District National Park and welcomes you with roses around a soft green composite front door. The living room is cosy and characterful, with a slate floor, deep-set window seat and a wood-burning stove that suits weekend fires and relaxed evenings.
Upstairs the landing is unusually spacious and versatile — recently used as a study — offering extra living or working space that many cottages lack. Both bedrooms are doubles with front-aspect window seats; the bathroom has a straightforward white suite and an airing cupboard housing the LPG boiler. The compact rear garden is low-maintenance and private, while the prefabricated garage delivers valuable storage and off-street parking potential.
Practical points to note: the property is chain free and on freehold tenure, with mains services and LPG central heating to radiators. Broadband was recorded as slow; mobile signal is excellent. The garage roof may contain concrete/asbestos sections — buyers should arrange their own checks. There is a shared ginnel/passageway and an historic right of access tied to neighbouring properties, so shared maintenance and access rights apply.
Ideal for first-time buyers or those seeking a snug permanent home or weekend retreat, this cottage combines authentic Lakeland character with useful extras like a garage and versatile landing. Expect a modest plot and some period‑era compromises, but much of the charm and location advantages are genuine and immediate.
