About this home
Small But Perfectly Formed, And Packed With Charm. Tucked away in a village hotspot for the Coast to Coast, this adorable 2-bedroom cottage blends modern comforts with rustic character, making it ideal for cosy evenings by the fire and a brilliant bolt-hole for exploring. If you're looking for a first home that feels like it's straight out of a storybook, or perhaps a savvy investment with Airbnb potential, this cottage ticks all the boxes. It's for those who appreciate character, an easy pace of life, and the convenience of a village pub just across the road. Step inside and immediately feel at home. The lounge is the heart of this cottage, with exposed brickwork and a crackling wood burner – perfect for those chilly Cumbrian evenings. It’s a space that invites you to curl up with a good book or enjoy a warm cuppa. The modern yet rustic aesthetic gives it a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed, featuring an Aga for that classic country feel, blending seamlessly with the cottage's character. Downstairs, the bathroom is a sleek affair with modern grey tiles, underfloor heating and an L-shaped bath with a shower over, offering both a quick rinse and a luxurious soak. Upstairs, you'll find two inviting double bedrooms, both full of character, complete with exposed beams. Despite its compact size, this cottage feels impactful, with every inch utilised to create a comfortable and stylish home. While there's no back garden, you have a lovely front garden to enjoy. And just across the road, a fantastic bonus awaits: your own driveway and a single garage, plus a good-sized grass garden – perfect for summer barbecues or just letting off steam. Weekends won't involve endless mowing, giving you more time for adventures! Location is everything, and this cottage delivers. With the Dog & Partridge Inn pub just over the road, spontaneous pub lunches or evening drinks are effortlessly convenient. For outdoor enthusiasts, the village is a well-known hotspot for the Coast to Coast route, offering endless walking and cycling opportunities right from your doorstep. For a change of scenery, St Bees, with its lovely beach and popular beachside bakehouse, is only 10 minutes away, and Whitehaven is even closer for anything else you might need. This charming cottage offers a blend of character, comfort, and prime location. Don't miss the chance to make it yours – whether as a delightful home or a smart investment.
