Summary - APPLE TREE COTTAGE 2 TOWN END COTTAGES FAR SAWREY AMBLESIDE LA22 0LH
6 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious six‑bed property with separate annexe and superb countryside outlook.
Grade II listed Lakeland cottage with original beams and flag floors
A substantial Grade II listed Lakeland cottage offering highly versatile accommodation across the main house and an adjoining three‑bed annexe. Set in the quiet village of Far Sawrey, the property sits on a raised, gated plot with a south‑facing front garden, rear terrace and far‑reaching countryside views — ideal for enjoying outdoor calm and seasonal light.
The layout suits a range of buyers but will particularly appeal to retirees seeking space for visitors, family stays or ground‑floor living in the annexe. The annexe has been upgraded in recent years and benefits from its own external access, polished slate floors and a generous living room with traditional stone chimneypiece. There is useful parking for two cars and a double‑doored barn/garage offering workshop space and laundry plumbing.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: alterations will be restricted and will require Listed Building consent, which can complicate renovation plans. The principal cottage would benefit from modernisation, and the building’s traditional granite walls are assumed uninsulated — combined with electric storage/room heaters this can mean higher running costs. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal.
Overall, this is a characterful, spacious country home with genuine potential for comfortable retirement living, holiday use or a flexible family arrangement — provided purchasers accept the responsibilities of a historic, listed property and the likely upgrade costs to improve energy efficiency and heating.
