Chapel Street, Appleby-in-westmorland, CA16

Situated within a charming row of terraced cottages, this cottage on Chapel Street enjoys a picturesque setting with open views over St George’s Field and the mature, ancient trees that line the River Eden. Situated in the very heart of Appleby-in-Westmorland, this Grade II listed cottage offers a perfect blend of character and convenience, enhanced by a surprisingly generous rear garden.

With two spacious bedrooms, a family bathroom, a large kitchen-diner, and a cosy lounge, this delightful home is well-suited to first-time buyers, those looking to downsize, or investors seeking to maximise its high rental potential.

Step Inside...
Park at the front of the property and step through the iconic red door that these cottages are known for. As you enter the hallway and hang your coat, the inviting kitchen-diner at the end of the corridor immediately draws the eye—but first, let’s explore the lounge.

A Cosy Living Space
Bathed in natural light from the large front-facing window, the lounge enjoys charming views over the open fields. Soft almond-toned walls and a neutral carpet create a warm and airy ambience. A fireplace, currently housing a gas living flame fire, presents the perfect opportunity to install a wood-burning stove, further enhancing the room’s character and charm.

The Heart of the Home
Beyond the staircase, the generously proportioned kitchen-diner offers a practical and social space, with views over the rear garden. The L-shaped layout provides ample light oak effect cabinetry, complemented by a dark laminate work surface. A stainless steel sink is ideally positioned beneath the window, while space is available for either an under-counter fridge, freezer, or a washing machine. A gas living flame fire, set within a limestone-effect surround, adds warmth and comfort. The deep under-stairs cupboard offers additional storage and houses the gas meter.

A composite rear door leads directly out to the expansive garden, a rare find in such a central location. Currently laid to lawn and accessed via a shared pathway, the garden extends to a rear stone wall and includes a large wooden shed. The neighbouring property showcases the potential for transformation—whether that be raised flower beds, a patio for outdoor dining, or a vegetable garden for homegrown produce.

Upstairs Retreat
Heading upstairs, the two bedrooms offer peaceful and well-proportioned spaces.

Bedroom One is a generous double room, enjoying stunning views over St George’s Field. A built-in wardrobe with sliding panel doors provides ample storage while preserving floor space.
Bedroom Two is slightly smaller but can still comfortably accommodate a double bed and wardrobe, with serene garden views from the rear window.

Refresh & Rejuvenate
The bathroom is currently functional but offers an opportunity for modernisation. It features a pedestal sink, low-flush WC, and a full-sized bath with an overhead electric shower. A deep airing cupboard houses the gas combi boiler.
