Set in the heart of Broughton‑in‑Furness within the Lake District National Park, this two‑bedroom semi offers classic cottage character with modern comforts. Exposed stonework, a wood‑burning stove and dormer views give the home a cosy, lived‑in feel suited to downsizers or those seeking a low‑maintenance rural base.
Arranged over three levels, the layout places the lounge and kitchen/diner on the main floor, a generous master bedroom with en‑suite above, and a lower‑ground level with a second bedroom, study, bathroom and utility. Velux windows bring light into the kitchen/dining area and the patio door from the lower level opens to a private courtyard — an easy outdoor spot rather than a large garden.
Practical points are plain: the property dates from before 1900 with granite walls assumed to have no added insulation, and it has an EPC rating of D. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators plus the wood burner; there is double glazing though install dates are unknown. The compact plot and stepped, multi‑storey layout may suit buyers who don’t require expansive outdoor space or step‑free living.
Overall this is a characterful, well‑presented cottage in a very low‑crime, affluent village setting close to shops, pubs and community facilities. It will appeal to downsizers, second‑home buyers and investors looking for a holiday let in a sought‑after National Park location, while buyers prioritising modern thermal efficiency or larger outside space should note the likely retrofit work needed.
