Step inside 2 Railway Cottages and you’ll find a compact, characterful two-bedroom home in the heart of Ingleton. Stone walls, exposed beams and a traditional fireplace give the sitting room period charm while the kitchen and shower room have been updated for modern living. A generous, terraced rear garden and easy access to the Yorkshire Three Peaks make this a pleasant village base.
This cottage has proven holiday-let income and would also suit a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-run rental or a cosy permanent home. The layout is straightforward: sitting room and fitted kitchen/diner on the ground floor, two double bedrooms and a shower room upstairs. The property is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown).
Be clear about the practical points: the house is small at about 546 sq ft and has low ceilings in places, so it feels compact rather than spacious. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (as built), and the EPC is D, which may mean higher heating costs and potential for improvement work. Council tax details show previous Band B with Small Business Rate relief currently applied — buyers should confirm any ongoing billing or eligibility implications.
Overall this is a sincere opportunity for a buyer wanting village life with character and proven tourist demand, or for someone looking to continue a successful holiday-let. It combines period appeal, a useful garden and an excellent walking location, but expect modest room sizes and some energy-efficiency limitations.
