This Grade II listed sandstone cottage sits within walking distance of Appleby’s market square, offering period character and compact, efficient living across two floors. The open-plan living room with fitted kitchen and cast-iron multi-fuel stove creates a cosy ground-floor hub, while two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom suit a couple, small family or first-time buyer wanting a manageable home.
Outside there are small front and rear gardens and a convenient off-street parking space with an EV charging point — rare for a property of this size in a town-centre location. The house benefits from double glazing and a modern gas condensing boiler for heating and hot water.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: any alterations will need listed-building consent and could limit renovation options. The sandstone walls are likely uninsulated, and the EPC is rated D, so improving thermal efficiency may be required to reduce running costs. The internal floor area is modest (about 553 sq ft), which limits layout flexibility but keeps maintenance straightforward.
For a first-time buyer seeking character in a historic market town, or for someone wanting a small, lock-up-and-leave second home, this cottage offers immediate move-in potential with clear scope for sympathetic improvements. Its central location, parking and EV point are practical pluses alongside the traditional features.
