A charming end-of-terrace cottage in Staveley, set within the Lake District National Park and offered chain-free. The sitting room is cosy and welcoming while the newly fitted boiler (July 2025) gives recent heating reassurance. Two bedrooms and a compact fitted kitchen make the house a practical, low-maintenance home for someone looking to downsize or buy a holiday base.
The cottage sits behind a traditional stone wall with a gravel driveway and small front seating area; the drive can accommodate multiple cars. Windows are double glazed (unknown install date) and mains gas central heating serves radiators throughout. The property enjoys notable countryside and fell views towards Reston Scar — a strong appeal for buyers who value scenery and access to local walks.
There are some clear constraints to consider: the overall house and plot are small, room counts are modest, and the kitchen shows mid-century fittings with signs of dated finishes and potential damp in places. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and the EPC is D, so further thermal upgrades or redecoration may be needed to improve comfort and running costs.
This cottage suits downsizers, second‑home buyers or walkers seeking a ready-to-live-in property in a desirable village location, with realistic scope for modest modernisation. Its freehold tenure, low flood risk and convenient access to Staveley amenities and nearby towns make it a practical and characterful choice, provided you accept its compact layout and expected upgrade work.
