Set in the heart of Backbarrow within the Lake District National Park, this mid-terraced Lakeland cottage offers compact, characterful accommodation ideal for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let. The sitting room’s exposed stone wall and recessed multi-fuel stove create a warm, cosy focal point, while recent UPVC double glazing and new internal oak-style doors give the interior a neat, low-maintenance finish. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, ready for immediate occupation or short-term letting.
The ground floor provides a welcoming entrance hall, cosy sitting room and a practical breakfast kitchen with shaker-style units and space for appliances. Upstairs there is a spacious principal bedroom, a good second bedroom suitable as a small double or large single, and a three-piece bathroom with an electric shower. Heating is by oil-filled electric and electric panel heaters; there is no mains gas central heating.
Outside space is limited to a small enclosed decked area, suited to occasional outdoor entertaining or bin storage; on-street parking serves the property. Broadband speeds are reported as slow despite excellent mobile signal — something to note if remote working is essential. The ginnel/passageway is shared with the neighbouring property and maintenance is managed on an as-and-when shared basis.
For buyers seeking a compact, well-presented cottage in a picturesque village setting with easy access to Windermere and Ulverston, this property offers genuine kerb appeal and proven rental potential. It will particularly suit those prioritising location and character over generous internal or external space.
