Set within the Lake District National Park, this characterful end-terraced cottage offers cosy, well-arranged living across two floors. The sitting/dining room retains original features, an impressive stone mantel and a recessed wood-burning stove that gives genuine cottage character and efficient heat on chilly days. The compact kitchen and bathroom are practical and bright, arranged for everyday living rather than large-scale entertaining.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant valley views from deep-set windows. The detached cottage garden is a standout asset: established planting, a productive apple tree, lawn, gravelled patio with far-reaching valley and weir views, and a timber summer house — ideal for relaxing or dining outdoors. On-street parking and good commuter links make the location convenient for access to Ulverston and the wider South Lakeland area.
Practical points to note: the house is small (about 608 sq ft) so space is at a premium, and heating is by electric storage radiators rather than gas central heating. Broadband speeds are slow, which may affect home working. There is a shared rear access for bin collection. With vacant possession and no upper chain, the cottage suits a first home, second home in the Lakes, or a buy-to-let aimed at short-term holiday letting or long-term tenancy.
Overall, this is a charming, characterful cottage in a desirable national-park setting. It will particularly appeal to buyers who prioritise location, views and garden space over large internal rooms, and to those happy to accept modest modern comforts in exchange for a quintessential Lakeland retreat.
