Description

This quaint two-bedroom cottage, nestled in the desirable village of Low Bentham, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike. Spanning three floors, the property retains charming period characteristics including exposed stone walls and wooden beams, which could be accentuated with thoughtful updates. The ground floor features a cozy living room centered around a log-burning stove and a functional kitchen with direct access to both a useful basement and a serene patio garden overlooking Ellergill Beck. The first floor hosts a spacious double bedroom and a conveniently located bathroom, while the loft room on the second floor offers flexible usage as an additional bedroom or versatile living space. The layout is well-designed but could benefit from modern touches to enhance functionality and aesthetic appeal. Outside, the tranquil garden space is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, surrounded by nature's beauty. With Low Bentham's proximity to stunning natural landscapes such as the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District, this property has significant potential as either a permanent residence or a lucrative holiday rental investment. Renovation can unlock its full value, making Kingfisher Cottage not just a home but an opportunity waiting to be realized.
