Set in the Levens Valley within the Lake District National Park, this three-storey, end-terrace cottage balances rural character with practical benefits. Exposed stonework, a solid-fuel stove and sash-style windows deliver period charm, while an air-to-water heat pump and double glazing add energy-efficient features. The house is offered freehold and chain-free with private off-street parking and a small decked garden for outdoor dining.
The interior provides naturally bright accommodation over three floors plus a loft room accessed from bedroom three. The open-plan living and dining area with feature fireplace creates a cosy family hub; the kitchen leads directly to the deck. First-floor landing space can work as a study, and the main bathroom includes a freestanding roll-top bath alongside an independent shower.
Buyers should note the modest plot size and relatively small gardens — the driveway is the principal external space. Some internal modernisation is likely to be needed to fully realise the cottage’s potential; walls appear to be traditional stone with no known insulation, and broadband speeds in the area are slow. EPC currently rated E with potential improvement to C.
This property will suit buyers seeking a characterful family home or lock-up-and-leave cottage close to lakeside attractions. Its semi-rural setting, parking and heating upgrade give it an advantage over mid-terrace alternatives, while sympathetic updating offers clear value uplift.
