Seatle Cottage, a Grade II Listed building dating back to the early 17th century, has undergone thoughtful renovations over its long history while retaining many original features. With three spacious double bedrooms—one with an en-suite—and two inviting reception rooms, this property provides a solid foundation for future enhancements. The large kitchen is equipped with traditional built-in appliances including a Rayburn multi-fuel range cooker which not only serves culinary needs but also contributes to heating throughout the home.

The attached barn presents exciting possibilities for development; whether transforming it into additional living space or reimagining it as a guest suite or studio (subject to planning permissions), this feature significantly enhances the property’s investment appeal. Outdoor spaces include multiple lawns surrounded by mature shrub borders and an original well that adds character to the garden.
Accessed via a stone-chipped drive that accommodates several vehicles, there’s also secure parking available within the barn area—ideal for those looking for additional storage or workspace. Inside, you'll find welcoming elements such as light-filled rooms with period details like wooden beams and original panelling which can be preserved or updated during any renovation.
This property not only offers a glimpse into historical architecture but also holds substantial potential for growth and modernisation in a desirable location. Whether you’re looking to create your ideal family home or an investment opportunity in one of Cumbria's picturesque areas, Seatle Cottage provides an appealing canvas waiting to be transformed.
