Set in the popular village of Backbarrow within the Lake District National Park, this characterful three-bedroom semi-detached cottage blends traditional features with thoughtful modern upgrades. The house retains exposed beams, slate floors and a multi-fuel stove, while benefitting from double glazing, a re-roof in local slate and a gas condensing boiler (LPG). Chain-free and offered freehold, it suits buyers seeking a comfortable family home or a second property in a sought-after rural location.
The layout flows well for everyday living: a cosy sitting room with multi-fuel stove, an open-plan kitchen-diner with oak finishes, a useful utility/boot room and a substantial south-facing garden with driveway parking. A boarded attic provides extra storage and potential for occasional use, and planning permission exists to add a detached garage within the grounds — useful for extra parking or storage.
Buyers should note some practical points: the property relies on LPG heating (underground tank in front garden), there is a single family shower room, and the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated. The attic will need work if converted to a regular bedroom. Overall this is a mature cottage with high-quality finishes in places, but with typical maintenance and retrofit considerations for a traditional stone property.
