Set in a dramatic Eskdale valley position within the Lake District National Park, this stone-built cottage occupies a large plot including a separate field — a rare find for the area. The property is freehold and offered with no onward chain, making it straightforward for buyers ready to move quickly. Surrounding fells and easy access to local walking routes, including views toward Scafell Pike, give the site strong lifestyle appeal.
Internally the house offers flexible living across multiple floors: a generous dining kitchen, two reception rooms, utility, ground-floor bathroom, three bedrooms and a first-floor shower room. One large first-floor room has expansive outlooks and could be a principal bedroom or a second-family living space. The overall footprint is substantial (about 1,433 sq ft) with roughly 11 rooms in total — excellent scope for reconfiguring to modern living standards.
This cottage requires full modernisation: expect renovation works, improved insulation, and an upgrade to services. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; walls are traditional granite/whinstone likely without insulation. The EPC is rated F and there is no mobile signal on site. These are material considerations but, combined with the large grounds and separate field, the home offers strong potential for those wanting a bespoke Lakeland retreat, equestrian use, or a sympathetic restoration project. Council Tax band E applies.
