This highly individual Grade II Listed stone cottage blends genuine period character with clean, contemporary fittings across three storeys. Set in the heart of Kirkby Lonsdale, the property offers two double bedrooms, a bright fitted kitchen and a cosy sitting room with a decorative cast-iron fireplace. Large Velux windows and exposed beams lend charm to the principal bedroom while modern joinery and a boutique-style shower room add comfort.
The cottage is long-leasehold (balance of a 999-year lease) with a nominal ground rent of £5pa and is suitable as a main home, a second bolt-hole or for holiday letting. The communal courtyard at the front provides a pleasant shared seating area and a community feel, with the town’s cafés, shops and services on the doorstep and rural attractions within easy reach.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II Listed which will restrict some alterations and may complicate maintenance or change-of-use works. There is no private parking (on-street only) and heating is by electric room heaters and an electric combi boiler system—prospective buyers should note likely running costs and investigate insulation. Business rates currently apply for holiday use; check relief eligibility if intending short-term lets.
This is a compact, characterful home for someone who values location, history and a low-maintenance central cottage in an affluent market town. It will suit buyers prepared to accept listed constraints and limited outdoor/private space in exchange for unique period charm and strong letting potential.
