Characterful village home with generous parking and lettings potential.
Stone-built Lakeland cottage in central Grasmere village
Bridge Cottage is a traditional stone-built Lakeland home positioned in the heart of Grasmere, a short walk from shops, pubs and lakeside walks. The cottage has been modernised and reconfigured, including a former garage converted to a flexible third bedroom/reception with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. Off-street parking for up to four vehicles and a manageable garden make the plot unusually convenient for a village-centre property.
The layout provides two double bedrooms on the first floor (one with en-suite), a separate ground-floor bathroom and a versatile ground-floor room ideal as a lounge or bedroom three. Electric storage heating and double/triple glazing are installed, and fittings include a modern kitchen with integrated dishwasher. The property is presented as a compact, characterful home that will suit buyers wanting a main residence, second home or holiday let — current potential income is understood to be around £52,000–£64,000 per year.
Buyers should be aware of several material considerations: the cottage lies in a high flood-risk area and the house has a sump pump; the stone walls are likely uninsulated; heating is fully electric (storage heaters); broadband speeds are reported slow. Those factors affect running costs and suitability for full-time occupancy without further investment. The property is freehold and lies within the Lake District National Park, offering protected scenery but potential planning constraints for major alterations.
Overall, this is a compact, characterful Grasmere cottage with strong village access, flexible accommodation and good parking — appealing to buyers prepared to manage flood risk and upgrade energy performance where desired.
