Amity Cottage is a detached three‑double‑bedroom stone cottage set in approximately 1.5 acres in a secluded hamlet within the Lake District National Park. The house balances original character—exposed beams, feature fireplaces and a veranda with sea and valley views—with practical living: large reception rooms, a fitted kitchen-diner, utility and two bathrooms. A private driveway, garage and substantial garden/field make this a rare rural plot for family living or a country retreat.
The property has notable strengths for buyers seeking space and privacy: extremely generous room sizes throughout, a tanked lower level with underfloor heating, and elevated views across the Eskdale valley to the sea. Several rooms retain original fittings and period detail that give the cottage strong character and immediate visual appeal.
Buyers should be clear about important drawbacks. The EPC rating is F, walls are granite with assumed no insulation, glazing is only part double glazed and the main heating is oil-fired boiler — meaning energy running costs and upgrade work are likely. Broadband speeds are slow in this rural location despite excellent mobile signal. Council tax is band E (above average).
This will suit purchasers looking for a large, characterful rural home with potential to improve energy efficiency and modernise where desired. It’s ideal as a full-time family home, a second home in the national park, or a lifestyle property for those prioritising land, views and privacy over immediate low running costs.
