Set in the quiet hamlet of Winder near Frizington, this traditional three-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers countryside living with far-reaching views to the fells. The house sits a few hundred yards from the C2C cycleway and backs onto paddocks, making it a good match for outdoor enthusiasts or families wanting easy access to rural trails.
Inside, the home combines character features and practical updates: two reception rooms with slate-tiled floors and a multi-fuel stove, a modern fitted kitchen with appliances, a useful utility room, plus a ground-floor bathroom and a first-floor shower room. Accommodation is arranged over two floors and totals approximately 960 sq ft, with three bedrooms to the first floor.
The property is offered freehold and chain free, with an adjoining garage and a locked side passage to the rear garden that opens onto fields. Built before 1900 with granite/whinstone walls, the house retains period charm but would benefit from energy upgrades (insulation and heating efficiency) and general modernisation in places. Broadband is slow locally and mobile signal is average — practical factors for those working from home.
Overall this cottage is well placed for family life, a second/holiday home or a countryside retreat. Its immediate strengths are location, outdoor access and garden backing onto open land; its main drawbacks are fuel-efficiency limitations, potential wall insulation needs and limited broadband speed.
