A charming one-bedroom end-terrace cottage in Armathwaite, set in the attractive Eden Valley village close to shops, pubs and the Carlisle–Settle line. The cottage retains period character with stone walls, sandstone floors, exposed timber and a contemporary wood-burning stove in the sitting room, creating a cosy, low-maintenance home or holiday base.
The ground floor provides a sitting room and a modern fitted kitchen with granite worktops, while stone steps lead to a double bedroom and a shower room on the first floor. High ceilings in the bedroom and authentic period details give a sense of space despite the compact footprint (approx. 605 sq ft).
Practical points to note: the property has electric heating and an EPC rating of F, and there is no private outside space — the plot is very small. There are signs of external damp/moss to the roof and stonework in photos, and the location carries a medium flooding risk. Council tax is low (Band A), and the cottage is sold freehold, making it suitable as a village starter home, lock-up-and-leave holiday property or Airbnb with some refurbishment.
Set in a quiet village with good rail and road links to Penrith, Carlisle and the Lake District, this cottage will suit a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a tidy, characterful retreat. Buyers should allow a modest budget for energy improvements and external maintenance to improve comfort and long-term running costs.
