Set on a quiet lane in Lower Bentham, Little Stonegate Cottage is a characterful, stone-built end terrace with gas central heating and double glazing throughout. The compact two-bedroom layout is well suited to someone downsizing, a buy-to-let investor, or a lock-up-and-leave holiday bolthole. The property is offered chain free for a straightforward purchase.
Internally the house is compact: lounge/diner to the front, kitchen at the rear, and two small bedrooms plus a first-floor bathroom. The current EPC sits around band D with scope to improve, and the cottage’s traditional solid stone walls are likely to need insulation upgrades if higher energy performance is desired. There is no driveway and external space is limited to a small paved forecourt.
Practical benefits include mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing installed since 2002, low local crime and very low council tax costs. The village setting gives access to local amenities including a pub, shop, community centre and bus links, while the rural character and chain-free sale add clear appeal for a quiet retirement base or straightforward rental purchase.
Notable limitations are the small overall footprint and very small plot, limited parking, and average mobile and broadband provision. Buyers seeking large rooms, gardens or long-range views should look elsewhere; this cottage is best for those prioritising village character, low running costs and a compact, manageable home.
