Set on an elevated terrace above Coniston village, this refurbished 1850s stone cottage delivers exceptional views across Coniston Water and the surrounding fells. The open-plan living room with a wood-burning stove and window seat is warm and characterful; the updated shaker-style kitchen and contemporary bathroom make the cottage ready to occupy or let immediately.
Externally the property benefits from an attractive Lakeland garden, a small terrace and its own designated parking space — a rare convenience in the village. Recent renovation work (2013–2019) includes double glazing and a modern gas-fired boiler with Hive control, so the house feels cosy while retaining traditional features like the stone facade and original fireplaces.
Practical points to note: the cottage is mid-terrace with a shared entrance porch and a narrow, steep approach lane in places. Loft insulation is present but the external stone walls are original (assumed uninsulated), and broadband is average rather than ultrafast. The compact second bedroom and single parking spot reflect the property’s cottage scale.
This is a strong option for someone downsizing, seeking a weekend retreat, or buying a holiday-let in the Lake District National Park. Chain free and offered freehold, the house combines immediate usability with scope to personalise, while its position and views are the standout long-term asset.
