This newly renovated two-bedroom mid-terrace sits in a peaceful Soutergate hamlet, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The refurbishment respects original features—exposed slate, flagstones and stained floorboards—while adding double glazing and mains gas central heating for modern comfort. Its compact layout and generous loft storage make it low-maintenance and practical for a starter home or holiday let.
The cottage enjoys a highly sought-after rural location within walking distance of the station, primary school, surgery, pubs and community facilities. Local footpaths to the moor and estuary are on the doorstep, with the Lake District and Ulverston a short drive away. Outside there’s a small front garden and a private rear ginnel providing two seating areas; parking is on-street directly outside.
Important practical points: the property totals about 503 sq ft on a small plot, so space is limited. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, and the stone walls are likely to have limited insulation (as-built granite), which could affect heating efficiency despite the modern boiler. On balance, the property is turnkey with safety certificates in place, an EPC band C and affordable council tax, making it an attractive purchase for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-upkeep rental in an affluent, low-crime area.
