Longcroft End is an authentic 17th‑century Lakeland semi‑detached cottage combining original beams and stonework with thoughtful modern fittings. The heart of the home is a bright, open kitchen/diner with Indian slate flooring and far‑reaching views across Latterbarrow, Red Screes and Wansfell Pike. Three bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom make it comfortable as a main residence, family retreat or second home.
Outside is a substantial, south‑facing garden with mature shrubs, a garden room with power and double glazing, a summer house, potting shed and a stream running through the grounds. The plot also includes shared ownership of approximately 10.5 acres of paddock held by a management company (eleven shareholders) to protect the outlook. Private parking for around three vehicles and a detached garage add practical convenience.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: broadband speeds are reported as slow, glazing was installed before 2002, and external cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation. Council Tax is Band E (above average). There is scope to extend or further personalise the property, but buyers should factor potential upgrade costs if higher energy efficiency or faster connectivity is required.
This cottage suits buyers seeking character and views in the Lake District National Park: families wanting space and good local schools, buyers needing a comfortable second home, or holiday‑let investors (an estimated seasonal income figure has been suggested). The setting offers genuine tranquillity and scenery, balanced by rural service limitations and shared paddock ownership that prospective purchasers should review.
