Tollbar Cottage is a compact, characterful Category B listed tollhouse offering two-bedroom living with preserved 19th-century stone features. The house blends period charm—stone bay, sandstone walls and slate roof—with modern comforts such as gas central heating and full double glazing. Its layout includes a ground-floor living room and kitchen, with a basement-level bedroom and shower room that open directly to the rear garden.
The enclosed side and rear garden and off-street parking provide practical outside space, while the edge-of-town position gives easy access to Langholm’s amenities. Carlisle is around a 30-minute drive for a wider range of services and transport links. The property’s excellent mobile signal is a plus; broadband speeds are average.
Buyers should note the listing status: Category B protection means repairs or alterations may require listed building consent and could add cost or delay. The cottage sits on a modest plot and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale prospects and local services. Overall, this is a good option for someone wanting a manageable, character home with historic interest, who is comfortable working within listed-building constraints.
