This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage sits in Hesket Newmarket at the northern edge of the Lake District National Park. Recently renovated throughout, it combines period character — natural stone floors, sash windows and two feature fireplaces — with modern fittings including a quartz-topped kitchen diner and a multi-fuel stove in the lounge. Offered freehold and chain free, it suits buyers seeking a ready-to-move-into country home.
Practicalities are straightforward: oil-fired central heating, mains services, and useful built-in storage. The compact footprint (approx. 730 sq ft) provides comfortable living for a couple or downsizer, with a principal bedroom that retains original character and a neatly appointed family bathroom. The rear yard has an elevated patio and an outhouse housing the boiler; note a right of way crosses the yard to serve neighbouring properties.
Material constraints are clear and stated: the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate planning or improvement works. Outdoor space is very small and roadside parking is limited. The front sash window is single glazed while other windows are double glazed; the main heating fuel is oil, not a community supply. These points will particularly matter to buyers wanting significant remodelling, increased outside amenity, or different heating arrangements.
For someone seeking a characterful cottage in a tranquil village with good access to Caldbeck, Penrith and Keswick, this home offers immediate charm and few surprises. It presents a low-maintenance base in a highly desirable Lake District setting, provided the buyer accepts the listed constraints and modest external space.
