Description

Located in the serene Yorkshire Dales National Park, this semi-detached stone cottage, historically known as Smithy Cottage, presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts. Originally established around 1735, the property retains its historic character while offering significant potential for modernization. Its elevated position affords sweeping views of the picturesque Howgills, and it is conveniently located just a short distance from the bustling market town of Sedbergh. Inside, a welcoming hallway leads to a spacious living and dining area characterized by large windows that enhance the room's bright ambiance and showcase stunning rural vistas. The kitchen is functional but offers ample scope for updating to meet contemporary standards. The main bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and impressive views, complemented by a nearby shower room that adds convenience. A spiral staircase connects to a second double bedroom with fitted storage and an additional bathroom. This space also has access to a garage area currently leased by the neighbouring property. Outside, the cottage boasts a mature garden adorned with vibrant borders, ideal for creating an outdoor retreat or entertaining space. Off-road parking for two vehicles enhances practicality in this tranquil setting. Additionally, an undercroft beneath the porch offers essential storage solutions.
