Set in the heart of Caldbeck within the Lake District National Park, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage blends period character with village life. The ground floor offers a large dining kitchen, separate utility and a cosy lounge with a log-burning stove; upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a generous family bathroom. The property totals around 1,023 sq ft and sits on a small, tiered cottage garden with stone steps leading to a lawned seating area and stone outhouse, all enjoying open countryside views.
Buyers should note the house is Grade II Listed and lies in a conservation area — attractive for character preservation but likely to restrict alterations and add complexity to maintenance and permissions. The property has an EPC rating of E, room heaters and dual-fuel heating (mineral and wood), and the original granite or whinstone walls are assumed uninsulated; upgrading energy performance will require sensitive, listed-friendly works. There is a single main bathroom and the plot is relatively small, which limits extension potential.
This home will suit buyers who value village community and National Park location: families who want access to good local schools and amenities, downsizers wanting manageable outside space with views, or buyers prepared to invest in energy improvements and listed-property care. The freehold tenure, low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband help make this a practical rural home. Price and size make it a considered purchase for those wanting authentic cottage character rather than a fully modernised, low-maintenance property.
