2 bedroom cottage

Nestled within the heart of Kirkby Lonsdale, this beautifully presented two-bedroom character cottage seamlessly combines period charm with contemporary styling to create a truly special home.

Arranged over three floors, the property is full of character and individuality, featuring exposed beams, original architectural details and carefully considered modern finishes throughout. The welcoming sitting room provides a comfortable space in which to relax, centred around a cosy wood-burning stove and complemented by attractive exposed timbers and tasteful décor.

To the rear of the property lies the stunning open-plan kitchen / diner - undoubtedly one of the home's standout features. With its vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, rooflights and bespoke cabinetry, this bright and sociable space has been thoughtfully designed for modern living whilst retaining the character expected of a traditional Kirkby Lonsdale cottage.

The first floor offers a generous double bedroom with a fitted wardrobe, together with a family bathroom with an over-the-bath shower. A staircase rises to the second floor where a further characterful double bedroom enjoys exposed beams and vaulted ceilings.

A particularly rare feature for a town centre property is the private terrace, providing a delightful outdoor space from which to enjoy elevated views across the surrounding rooftops. Perfect for morning coffee, al fresco dining or simply unwinding at the end of the day, the terrace offers an unexpected and highly desirable addition to this lovely cottage.

Situated on historic Mitchelgate, the property is just moments from Kirkby Lonsdale's thriving selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities, whilst also providing excellent access to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the Lake District and the Forest of Bowland.

Subject to approval by the relevant local authority, residents may be eligible to obtain a parking permit, which permits parking within the designated zone.
