Description

Nestled within the charming village of Threlkeld, Smithy Cottage offers a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike. This three-bedroom property boasts two reception rooms and outdoor seating areas, all set against stunning views of the surrounding Lake District fells. Originally established as a blacksmith’s shop, this cottage has been a part of local history and character for generations. While it underwent its last major renovation in 1987, the current condition suggests that modernization efforts are necessary to bring it up to contemporary standards. The functional layout includes a dining room that serves as the hub of the home, leading to a kitchen with attractive vistas and direct garden access. The spacious sitting room features vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, creating a bright atmosphere enhanced by a multi-fuel stove. The upper level hosts well-proportioned bedrooms, including one tucked into the eaves with charming Velux windows. Outside, there is potential for parking or additional gardens, making this property ripe for investment in line with its historic roots and scenic surroundings. Threlkeld's vibrant community amenities—including local shops, schools, and easy access to Penrith and Keswick—further enhance its appeal as both a residence and an investment.
