A compact mid-terraced 19th‑century home presented in neat decorative order, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a foothold in the Lake District. The house benefits from recent upkeep including a new roof and a boiler replacement in 2023, uPVC double glazing, gas central heating and a characterful multi‑fuel stove in the front reception room. Ultrafast broadband and very low local crime add to practical everyday appeal.
Accommodation is arranged over three levels with a converted lower‑ground room currently used as a playroom or occasional third bedroom, a ground‑floor living room leading to a dining kitchen, and two first‑floor bedrooms with a contemporary bathroom. A private rear patio with two stone stores provides low‑maintenance outdoor space, while residents’ permit on‑street parking serves the property to the front.
Important buying details: this is a shared equity property with Riverside Housing Association retaining 42.94% and 57.06% effectively tradable. There is a 1% fee payable to Riverside on resale and a local occupancy clause requiring buyers to have lived or worked in the South Lakeland district for the preceding three years. Prospective purchasers must be assessed for eligibility by Riverside and the property must be owner‑occupied.
The house offers a genuine, affordable route onto the local housing ladder and suits buyers who value location, character and low‑maintenance outdoor space. The compact footprint and the cellar conversion's prior owner workmanship mean buyers should accept modest room sizes and consider whether the lower‑ground room meets building‑regulation or personal-use expectations.
