Roy Cottage is a compact, characterful two-bedroom mid-terrace set in Penny Bridge, close to Ulverston. The stone exterior and exposed beam nod to the cottage’s period origins while recent improvements — including double glazing and a modern kitchen — make the house immediately useable. Chain-free and freehold, it suits buyers seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home or a holiday let in a quiet village setting.
Internally the layout is straightforward: lounge diner, fitted kitchen, ground-floor shower room and two double bedrooms upstairs. The reception and bedrooms are well presented with neutral décor and built-in wardrobes in the larger bedroom. The rear garden is small and designed for low upkeep with slate underfoot and mature shrubs providing privacy.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, low council tax (Band B), excellent mobile signal, very low local crime and no recorded flood risk. Drawbacks to note are the cottage’s modest overall size (about 571 sq ft), limited plot, and traditional granite/widststone walls that are assumed uninsulated — upgrading wall insulation would improve comfort and efficiency. Broadband speeds are average, which may matter for home workers.
For first-time buyers or investors, this home offers low running maintenance, village amenities within walking distance and straightforward access to local transport links. It presents sensible scope for modest updating and insulation improvements to increase comfort and resale value, while remaining a comfortable ready-to-live-in property as it stands.
