Description
The village itself is peaceful and lightly trafficked, offering a strong sense of rural community with a village hall and church. It is an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts, with a wealth of scenic walks available directly from the doorstep, including the renowned Coast to Coast route which passes nearby.
Despite its tranquil setting, Crosby Garrett enjoys excellent connectivity, with convenient access to both the A66 and M6, making it a practical base for commuters. The popular market town of Kirkby Stephen lies just four miles away and provides a comprehensive range of amenities, including shops, cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs, a doctor’s surgery, places of worship, and both primary and highly regarded grammar schools.
The current vendors have sympathetically renovated Prospect Cottage to an exceptional standard, carefully considering every aspect of the property and paying close attention to even the smallest details, resulting in a home that seamlessly blends character with modern comfort.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers generous, well-proportioned living space. The front door opens into a practical vestibule with attractive stone-flagged flooring, leading through to a welcoming central hallway that forms the heart of the home and provides access to the principal rooms. The snug lives up to its name, offering a cosy retreat with a wood-burning stove, exposed stone walls, and characterful beams. The well-appointed dining kitchen is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, while the main living room features a beautiful picture window and French doors overlooking the garden, gazebo, and two of the outbuildings. A modern shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, the charm and character continue with two generous double bedrooms, both showcasing stunning reclaimed polished floorboards and exposed beams.
Externally, the property is accessed via either a pedestrian or vehicular gate, with parking available on the low-maintenance patio area, in addition to ample on-street parking within the village. The patio leads to a well-maintained lawned garden with established flower beds and shrubs, creating an attractive and private outdoor space. A gazebo provides an ideal spot for outdoor seating, while two useful outbuildings offer versatile accommodation—one currently used for garden and log storage, and the other fitted out as a workshop, with potential to be utilised as a home office if required. Both benefit from power and lighting. A third outbuilding to the rear houses the oil tank.
Prospect Cottage would make an ideal family home, a charming holiday retreat, or a sound investment opportunity in this highly sought-after rural location.
