Tucked away in the peaceful village of Talkin, this one-bedroom end-terrace cottage blends period character with contemporary finishes. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is bright and airy thanks to a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, while sliding doors connect the interior to a private courtyard with a hot tub—ideal for relaxation or entertaining.
The bedroom is a comfortable double with built-in storage and direct access to a luxury shower room fitted with modern fixtures. The contemporary kitchen has high-end appliances and a clean finish; an easily accessible loft provides extra storage. Double glazing was installed post-2002 and the property sits in a low flood-risk area.
Practical considerations: the cottage uses electric room heaters rather than a central heating system, which may result in higher running costs during winter. The plot is small and the cottage is compact overall, so outdoor space is limited despite the attractive courtyard. Constructed before 1900 with sandstone/limestone walls and internal insulation, the house retains historic charm but may require sympathetic maintenance over time.
This property will suit a couple, first-time buyer, or investor looking for a stylish holiday let in a sought-after rural village. Talkin offers quiet village life with nearby amenities, Talkin Tarn, Brampton and good transport links to Carlisle and surrounding countryside—making this a characterful, low-maintenance base in the Cumbrian border region.
