Elevated Eden Valley views with large private garden and double garage.
Spacious 4‑bedroom semi‑detached cottage with versatile ground-floor bedroom
Set just south of Appleby, this substantial semi‑detached cottage occupies a large, mature plot with elevated views across the Eden Valley to Cross Fell and High Cup Nick. The ground floor offers flexible family space — a high‑ceilinged living room with a multi‑fuel stove, garden room with sliding doors, dining kitchen, dining room and an additional study/office. Four bedrooms across two floors and separate shower room and bathroom suit a growing household or multi‑generational use.
Outside, the plot is a major asset: generous lawns, mature shrub borders, greenhouse, pond, excellent privacy, parking for several vehicles and a double garage. Practicalities include double glazing, oil‑fired central heating and mains water and electricity; drainage is to a shared septic tank. The property sits in a quiet, remoter agricultural area about a mile from Appleby town centre and local schools.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: heating is oil‑fired (not a community supply) and the EPC is D. Drainage is via a septic tank shared with a neighbour. Parts of the house show evidence of age and may benefit from updating or careful attention to potential damp/maintenance in older extensions. Broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent.
For families seeking countryside space, strong views and flexible internal layout, this cottage delivers substantial potential. It will particularly suit those wanting a private garden and parking, and buyers comfortable with oil heating and carrying out some targeted refurbishment to modernise finishes and services.
