Charming period house with cottage annexe, studio and large gardens — flexible use and income potential.
Five-bedroom period home plus separately titled one-bed cottage
Set on a generous corner plot in the heart of Armathwaite, this period semi-detached home and attached cottage combine character living with clear income and flexibility. The main house features inverted living to take advantage of garden views, an open-plan kitchen/diner, wood-burning stove, and three ground-floor bedrooms. A self-contained annex and a separately titled one-bed cottage broaden the appeal for multi-generational living or letting income. A stone outbuilding/studio and bothy add workspace or commercial potential (subject to planning).
The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped with a cobbled courtyard, wildlife pond, summerhouse and lawns offering private, versatile outdoor space. Practicalities include off-street parking, mains services and generally low local crime. Note the property is heated by electric systems and has mixed EPC ratings (E for the main house, F for the cottage), which may influence running costs and any planned mortgage or letting requirements.
Positives include village amenities on the doorstep, easy access to Carlisle and Penrith, strong walking and cycling opportunities and good local primary schools. Important considerations: part use of the courtyard is not on title, the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone, and some areas may need updating or insulation improvements to address the EPC ratings. The plot and outbuildings present scope for refurbishment, reconfiguration or small-scale commercial use, subject to consents.
