This stone-built mid-terrace cottage sits tucked away in peaceful Low Bentham and offers cosy, characterful living across two floors. The sitting room features exposed beams and a multifuel stove, while the modern fitted kitchen opens to a sun-trap patio and mature rear garden — a rare village plot for a property of this size. Planning permission for a two-storey extension is already granted, creating clear potential to increase living space and value.
Rooms are modest in scale, so the cottage will suit first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a lock-up-and-leave bolthole close to the Dales. The house is freehold, on mains gas with boiler and radiators, and has double glazing added after 2002. EPC C and Council Tax Band B keep running costs reasonable for a period property.
Notable limitations are the small overall footprint and single off-street parking space. The stone walls are original and assumed uninsulated, so further insulation works could improve comfort and efficiency. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal average — factors to consider if you work from home. The garden room and sheds add flexible outdoor storage and hobby space but the cottage will suit buyers prepared for modest living areas rather than a large family home.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located village cottage with immediate charm and straightforward scope to add space and value via the approved extension. It will particularly appeal to buyers seeking a manageable, period property close to outdoor recreation and village amenities.
