Set within the Lake District National Park, this chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached cottage blends 18th-century character with considered modern updates. Oak floors, exposed beams, a multi-fuel stove and recently fitted double glazing give comfortable living while preserving traditional features. The open-plan kitchen–diner and cosy sitting room suit family life and weekend entertaining.
Outside, the property sits on a large, south-facing plot with established borders, lawn, driveway parking and space for a detached garage (planning permission granted). A generous boot/utility room and useful stone garden shed add practical storage for outdoor pursuits and family hobbies.
Practical points to note: heating is by an LPG boiler with an underground LPG tank in the front garden (no mains gas), and the cottage has granite walls assumed to have no cavity insulation, so buyers should consider energy upgrades. There is a single shower room on the first floor and a boarded attic that offers storage or occasional-bedroom potential with further work.
This cottage will appeal to families or couples seeking village life near Lake Windermere, walkers and railway enthusiasts. It offers immediate comfort with scope to improve energy efficiency and expand usable accommodation over time.
