Mount Pleasant, Tebay, CA10

A characterful Victorian cottage with charming quirks, original features, and bags of potential, welcome to the absolute delight that is; Corner House.

In the historic hamlet of Old Tebay, standing proudly on the bend in the road where Mount Pleasant begins, Corner House is every bit as charming and full of personality as its name suggests. This endearing Victorian home boasts a wonderful mix of period features, creative touches, and an unmistakable sense of warmth, a one of a kind opportunity for someone with an eye for character and a touch of imagination.

Step inside and you're welcomed by a hallway with classic black and white checkerboard floor tiles and a beautiful original stained glass window. Just off the hall is a useful utility room/pantry, while the main living room offers a cosy and inviting feel with its reclaimed parquet flooring, lovingly restored and hand laid after being rescued from beneath layers of old tar. A Morso log-burning stove provides the perfect focal point, and a spacious understairs cupboard adds practical storage.

From here, an inner hallway gives access to the original stripped wooden staircase and the home's delightfully quirky kitchen, a compact but character packed space with exposed brickwork, slate tiled floor, rustic exposed beams, and a Belfast sink mounted on a vintage Singer sewing machine table. A freestanding butcher’s block houses the oven below and a two-ring hob above, creating a unique, functional, and truly memorable cooking space. A door leads out to the rear yard, where the LPG gas bottles for the heating system are neatly stored.

Upstairs, the charm continues with more original stripped floorboards. There’s a generous double bedroom and a cosy single room, ideal as a dressing room, study, or guest space, which also houses the wall mounted gas boiler. A stylishly simple shower room completes the accommodation. Throughout the house, you’ll find original single glazed windows, some with beautifully imperfect, hand-blown glass, adding to the timeless atmosphere.

Outside, there’s on-street parking and a small, enclosed yard to the rear, perfect for a morning coffee or a few potted plants. The property has been unoccupied for several years and would benefit from some further cosmetic updating, but the fundamentals are solid, and it has been well cared for. It’s a bit of an unfinished project, ready for the next chapter in its long story.

With its prominent position in this characterful village, easy access to the M6, and proximity to both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, Corner House is a rare and rewarding opportunity, brimming with charm and potential, all at a truly affordable price.
