Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Gilsland, this attractive stone-built cottage was created from a former stable block and offers comfortable, characterful accommodation across two floors. The layout includes a generous living room with open fire, a conservatory, dining kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom — all arranged around useful built-in storage and practical ceramic tiled floors in key areas.
The garden is a genuine asset: an enclosed lawn with mature planting, a stone outhouse/wash house with plumbing that would make an ideal utility, and parking. The house benefits from double glazing and oil central heating, and it is offered with vacant possession and no ongoing chain, so a purchaser can move quickly.
The property needs cosmetic refurbishment throughout to realise its full potential; finishes are dated and the EPC is rated E. Construction is traditional sandstone/limestone with assumed no wall insulation, and heating is oil-fired, so buyers should factor potential energy upgrades and running costs into their plans. This home suits a family or someone seeking a village retreat prepared to invest modestly to refresh interiors.
Viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting, layout and garden. The cottage’s location in a peaceful rural village with low crime, good primary schools nearby and pleasant countryside views makes it equally appealing as a small family home, second home or holiday let, subject to any local use considerations.
