2 Wilson Terrace, Sedgwick, Kendal, LA8 0JU

Welcome to 2 Wilson Terrace, a charming three-bedroom mid-terraced cottage situated within the peaceful and historic village of Sedgwick. Originally part of the Sedgwick House Estate, this attractive stone property was built in the 1850s and sits beneath the historic canal aqueduct at the heart of the old village. Offering a wonderful blend of period character and modern living, the property is ideally positioned just a stone's throw from Oxenholme Lake District railway station, with excellent access to the M6 motorway and the nearby market town of Kendal. Sedgwick also benefits from a strong sense of community, with the local cricket club bar open to non-members most weekends from April to September, providing an informal village meeting place. There is a village hall hosting regular events, and a large adventure playground. With the Lake District and surrounding countryside within easy reach, the property offers an appealing combination of village living and excellent transport links, making it an ideal first-time purchase, second home or countryside retreat.

The property has been thoughtfully modernised throughout, while retaining a wealth of character and charm. Exposed wooden beams, multi-pane and sash-style double-glazed windows and traditional barn-style doors complement the contemporary finish, creating a home that feels both stylish and welcoming. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation has been exceptionally well utilised, making the most of every inch of this compact yet surprisingly versatile property.

Set back behind a charming front garden, the property immediately impresses with its natural stone façade and attractive stone-arched doorway. A paved pathway, flanked by slate chippings and established climbing greenery, leads to an inviting sage-green cottage door, complete with traditional black wrought-iron strap hinges.

On entering, you are greeted by a delightful open-plan living room and kitchen, creating a wonderfully cosy and sociable heart to the home. The living area enjoys a front-aspect window overlooking the garden, while a traditional black cast-iron multi-fuel/log-burning stove sits within a deep, white-plastered chimney breast recess, complete with a rustic dark stone lintel and matching stone slab hearth. This provides a fantastic focal point to the room, with ample space for a comfortable sofa and coffee table, as well as a small dining table, making excellent use of the available floor space.

The modern kitchen has been cleverly designed to maximise practicality and storage, comprising a range of wall and base units in a contemporary white finish. Integrated appliances include a four-ring Lamona hob with extractor over, an Indesit oven and grill, while a tiled splashback and stainless-steel sink and drainer sit beneath the rear-aspect window. Four pendant lights above the breakfast bar add a contemporary touch and help define the kitchen area within the open-plan space. Beneath the stairs is a useful storage area with space for a fridge freezer, together with plumbing and space for a washing machine. A characterful stable-style door provides access to the rear.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where there is access to bedrooms two and three, together with the house bathroom. Bedroom two is a well-proportioned double bedroom positioned to the rear, enjoying a rear-aspect window. Bedroom three is situated to the front and is currently utilised as a home office and creative space. Although a smaller single bedroom, the front-aspect window allows plenty of natural light into the room, making it a versatile space which could be adapted to suit a variety of needs.

The house bathroom comprises a modern three-piece suite, including a WC, vanity wash hand basin and large panelled bath with handheld shower attachment. Tiled walls and a front-aspect window provide a clean and bright finish.

Continuing to the second floor, the landing benefits from exposed wooden beams, adding further character to the property. A useful built-in shelving unit provides both practical storage and an attractive feature within the stairway, with the property's Worcester boiler housed discreetly behind, this was newly installed in January 2026. A further door provides access to a useful under-eaves storage cupboard.

Bedroom one occupies the second floor and is a comfortable double bedroom with a rear-aspect window. Two useful internal storage cupboards provide excellent additional storage, something particularly beneficial within a property of this size.

Externally, the property benefits from a charming front garden, laid predominantly to gravel with a variety of rockery, shrubs and established greenery. The garden enjoys sunshine for much of the day and provides an attractive approach to the property. To the rear is a shared communal garden serving the four terraced properties, with each property having its own designated shed space and area for hanging washing.

2 Wilson Terrace is a beautifully presented cottage which combines traditional character with a modern and practical interior. Cleverly arranged over three floors, the property has made exceptional use of the space available, creating a surprisingly spacious and versatile home with a wonderfully cosy feel. Its peaceful village setting, excellent transport links and close proximity to Kendal, Oxenholme and the Lake District make it an ideal choice for a first-time buyer, downsizer, second-home owner or anyone looking for a charming countryside base. Properties of this character and location are rarely available, so early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate what this lovely home has to offer.
