Hawthorne Cottage is a compact two-bedroom detached cottage on the edge of Long Marton, set against open Eden Valley countryside. The house offers straightforward accommodation — living room with open fireplace, separate dining room, kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom — and benefits from pleasant uninterrupted views, off-street parking and a manageable garden.
The property is sold freehold at a modest price and will suit a buyer comfortable with sympathetic updating. It has uPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating, but the EPC rating is G and the property requires general modernisation throughout. Stone walls are likely uninsulated and some services (hot water tank electrics noted) are dated.
This cottage will appeal to buyers seeking rural character and views who can take on improvement works to increase comfort and value. It is close to village amenities and good local schools, with Appleby and Penrith within easy driving distance for broader services and transport links. Be aware of the renovation needs and low energy efficiency when considering running costs and future works.
