Stylish village cottage with garage, garden and conversion potential.
Upside-down layout — open-plan living with glazed bi-folds and countryside views
Set in peaceful Leasgill on the doorstep of the Lake District, 1 Milestone Cottage is a well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached cottage that marries traditional character with contemporary living. The property’s upside-down arrangement places a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with glazed bi-folds on the middle level — ideal for family meals and entertaining — while a cosy character lounge with exposed beams and a wood-burning stove provides a quieter place to unwind with countryside views.
The principal bedroom occupies the top floor with a modern en-suite and large attic storage that offers genuine potential for further development; the sellers have obtained structural engineer calculations to aid conversion. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the lower level, and a study/landing currently used as a home office gives flexible working space for those who need it.
Outside, the rear garden is landscaped with raised patio, lawn, mature borders and a summerhouse — useful as a snug retreat or ancillary workspace — and a detached single garage plus private off-road parking for two to three cars is accessed via a separate lane. Practical extras include ultrafast-capable broadband, very low local crime, and no flooding risk.
Points to note: the upside-down layout and split-level arrangement may not suit everyone, and any attic conversion will require planning consent and further expenditure despite the existing structural calculations. Room footprints are medium-sized rather than generous, so buyers wanting more expansive ground-floor sleeping accommodation or larger rooms should view with dimensions in mind.
