Bayleaf Cottage is a recently refurbished, characterful three-bedroom home in the heart of Kirkby Stephen. High ceilings, exposed beams and a wood-burning stove give the living spaces a warm, traditional feel while the kitchen diner and utility room provide practical modern living. The property is offered chain free and presented as a genuine turnkey opportunity for a first-time buyer.
The accommodation includes two reception rooms, three double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom with a built-in sauna — an unusual comfort for a cottage of this size. Low-maintenance patio gardens front and rear create simple outdoor spaces with a rear lane access and raised seating area for entertaining.
Practical points to note: the house was constructed before 1900 in traditional stone and likely lacks cavity wall insulation, which could mean future costs to improve thermal efficiency. There is no private driveway, although safe off-street parking is available nearby. The plot is small, suiting buyers who prioritise a low-maintenance home over extensive gardens.
Located close to the town centre, local shops, schools and transport links — including good road access to the M6 and nearby rail lines — this property suits someone seeking a stylish first home, a low-upkeep holiday retreat, or a buy-to-let investment in a popular walking and tourism area.
