Description
Some properties are full of character, and some properties are full of both character and charm. This little beauty in Dolphinholme, in our opinion, oozes both by the bucket load.
Built in 1798 to accommodate workers from the Dolphinholme Worsted Mill, this mid-terrace cottage offers elevated views over the fells to the front and, on a clear day, sweeping coastal views to the rear. Many original features remain, but the home has been fully modernised in recent years, allowing the occupiers to enjoy modern comforts while preserving its heritage.
When trying to list what has been upgraded, it's easier to say what hasn't been done - but we'll give it a go! Aesthetically and structurally, there's a new roof plus new doors and sash windows. The sash windows retain that authentic country cottage feel while offering excellent sound and draught proofing.
Stepping through the front door into the living room, the tiled flooring throughout the ground floor makes cleaning a breeze - especially after muddy country walks or for those four-legged friends. A feature exposed stone wall adds a delightful traditional-yet-modern twist, and the capped open fireplace (currently used with a bio-ethanol fire) could easily be reinstated to house a multi-fuel stove or electric fireplace. Light and airy yet cosy and quiet, this room is ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Exposed beams and a beautiful oak mantel sit above the fireplace, and an electric radiator provides heating.
In the kitchen, you'll find a newly fitted range of base units with Shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by oak block worktops for a modern take on the country look. Integrated appliances include a fridge-freezer, washing machine, slimline dishwasher, electric oven, and hob. Additional cabinetry beneath the stairs provides useful storage. A door leads into the rear porch and out to the patio and communal garden beyond.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill shower room. The primary bedroom is a generous double, with sash windows framing elevated views of the fells. Directly opposite is the Dolphinholme Bowling Club and village hall. Alongside ample space for furniture, there's a fitted cupboard housing the recently installed water heater. The second bedroom is a comfortable single, with a window overlooking the communal garden and far-reaching views toward the coast.
The recently fitted shower room features a double shower cubicle, WC, and wash basin.
Overall, this is, in our opinion, a stunning little home - perfect for first-time buyers, downsizers, or even as an Airbnb. The current owner has meticulously designed and curated this property into a true oasis. We doubt it will be on the market for long, so early viewing is highly recommended.
