5 bed 3 bath Detached
Period charm and river-side garden near the Lake District — family-ready with scope to update.
Five double bedrooms plus one single bedroom, ensuite to main bedroom
Set on the edge of Gosforth and overlooking the River Bleng, this five-bedroom detached cottage blends Victorian character with practical family space. Original features — exposed beams, sash windows, wooden floorboards and Victorian tiles — give the house period appeal, while two reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/dining area and a lawned rear garden provide comfortable day-to-day living. The garden is private and mature with trees and shrubs and a pleasant outlook toward the river.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and will suit families or buyers seeking a countryside base close to the Lake District. Four double bedrooms (one with ensuite) plus a single bedroom and a main bathroom upstairs, give flexible sleeping arrangements. Ground-floor utility rooms and a WC add convenience; there is also a detached garage, outbuildings and off-street parking for four cars.
Practical considerations: the property sits in a remoter, rural setting with the nearest rail link around 5 km away and essential services in nearby Gosforth or Seascale. There is a medium flood risk to note because of the riverside position. The house is presented in generally good order but retains traditional elements, so buyers should expect ongoing maintenance typical of older properties and potential updating to personalise the interior.
This home will suit buyers looking for village life with quick access to outstanding outdoor attractions — Wastwater, Scafell Pike and the wider Lake District — and families who prioritise space, character and a private garden. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting, period detail and scope for sympathetic updating.
