Tucked inside the Lake District National Park, this recently renovated two-bedroom cottage offers peaceful country living with spectacular fell and coastal views. The 2016 renovation and extension deliver cosy, characterful rooms finished with underfloor heating in the kitchen and lounge, a wood-burning stove, and a window seat that frames the changing seasons.
The layout suits retirement living, a holiday home or a holiday-let with two bathrooms (ground-floor shower and upstairs bathroom), two bedrooms each with their own outlook, and a versatile outbuilding ideal for a hobby room, reading room or home bar. Large driveway parking and a substantial garden with vegetable beds, sheds and fruit trees add practical outdoor space and privacy.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: heating runs from an LPG boiler (no gas mains), broadband speeds are slow, and the EPC is rated F. The stone walls are original (pre-1900) and assumed uninsulated, so there is opportunity — and likely cost — to improve thermal efficiency if desired. The hamlet location brings tranquillity and very low crime, but services and mobile signal are limited compared with urban areas.
For buyers seeking a quiet, scenic retreat with usable outbuildings and substantial outdoor space, this cottage delivers instant charm and usable accommodation. Investors looking at holiday-let potential should factor in energy efficiency and connectivity improvements. For retirees, the single-level shower room and calm setting make it a comfortable long-term option.
