Charming 2‑bed stone cottage with large garden and insulated oak workshop, close to fells and Ullswater.
End-terrace Victorian stone cottage in Lake District village setting
A charming two-bedroom stone cottage set in the heart of Glenridding with spectacular fells and Ullswater glimpses from the garden. The house retains period character, including a stone fireplace and traditional finishes, while benefiting from good internal insulation that keeps rooms deceptively warm and bright.
Accommodation is well proportioned across multiple floors: a cosy living room with wood-burning stove, a south-facing kitchen/dining extension that fills with daylight, a three-piece bathroom plus ground-floor WC, two first-floor bedrooms and a large attic room with Velux windows. The generous rear garden is a standout feature, with mature planting and a substantial insulated oak workshop suitable for studio, office or storage.
Practical points to note: the property is freehold, in Council Tax Band C and lies inside the Lake District National Park. Heating is electric storage radiators and the EPC is rated D; windows are double-glazed but were installed before 2002. Those seeking lower running costs or modern heating may wish to budget for upgrades. The cottage is an end-terrace built before 1900 and, while well insulated, would benefit from selective modernisation to fully realise its potential.
This home will suit buyers looking for a characterful country base or a downsizer wanting easy village living with immediate access to fell walks. It offers an authentic Lakeland lifestyle, lots of outdoor space and useful outbuildings, balanced by the realistic costs and considerations of an older, period property.
