Scope to create a cosy Lake District home close to fells and village amenities.
Chain-free freehold mid-terrace with panoramic fell views
Large rooms and period features including stone fireplace
Front garden, rear courtyard, two outbuildings and drying green
Requires full modernisation: kitchen, bathroom, decor and likely wiring
Solid brick walls assumed with no insulation — retrofit likely needed
Oil heating and electric storage heaters; consider heating upgrade
Slow broadband despite excellent mobile signal — impacts remote work
No flood risk; very low local crime and within national park
Set against panoramic fell scenery, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers rare scope in the heart of the Lake District. The property sits in the hamlet of Threlkeld with direct access to footpaths, good local schools and quick road links to Keswick and the M6. Its period character — stone fireplace, high windows and traditional layout — gives a strong base for a sympathetic renovation.
The house requires modernisation throughout: heating is oil-fired with electric storage heaters also present, walls are likely solid with no insulation, and fittings are dated. Broadband speeds are slow, and the property will benefit from updating kitchens, bathrooms and wiring to meet modern living standards. That said, the plot includes a front garden, rear courtyard, two useful outbuildings and access to a large shared drying green — practical outdoor space for family life or holiday lettings.
For buyers seeking a project, this is a chain-free freehold with attractive rental or second-home potential thanks to position and fell views to both front and rear. For a family, the nearby primary school and outstanding secondary school in Keswick add convenience. Investors should note the need for capital works but also the strong location within a very affluent, low-crime area of the national park.
Anyone viewing should allow for renovation costs, possible wall insulation works and improvements to heating and broadband. The property’s period charm and large room sizes reward sensitive refurbishment, creating a comfortable home or desirable holiday-let in a superb outdoor setting.
