Set on the edge of the Lake District National Park, this stone-built terraced cottage dates from the 1800s and offers a compact, characterful home with original beams and sash windows. The principal bedroom occupies the upper level, has fitted wardrobes, an en-suite and private terrace — a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening air. The layout suits a couple, downsizer or buyer seeking a low-upkeep rural base close to Penrith and local amenities.
Practical benefits include off-street parking, an easily managed rear garden and ultrafast broadband — useful for remote working or streaming. The property is offered freehold and chain free, so completion can be straightforward. The village provides everyday amenities and is only a few miles from Ullswater and wider Lake District access.
Buyers should note this is a modest-footprint home with traditional electric night storage heating and an EPC rating of F, so running costs and energy performance will be higher than modern builds. There is a neighbour’s right of way for window access, and as with many period stone cottages, ongoing maintenance and sympathetic repairs may be required over time.
Overall the cottage delivers immediate character, a convenient village location and low-maintenance outdoor space. It will particularly appeal to those prioritising setting, period charm and a manageable home rather than larger modern accommodation.
