3 bedroom cottage for sale

Set in the peaceful village of Leasgill, on the doorstep of the Lake District, 1 Milestone Cottage is a beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached cottage offering a modern twist. With its unique upside-down layout, stylish interiors, and thoughtfully designed spaces, this is a ready-to-move-into home perfect for families or those seeking a countryside retreat.

Leasgill is nestled on the doorstep of the stunning Lake District National Park, this charming village offers the perfect balance of countryside living with excellent transport connections. Just 10 minutes (6 miles) from the thriving market town of Kendal, residents enjoy easy access to a wide range of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.

For those travelling further afield, Oxenholme train station is close by, providing direct links to destinations across the country, including London in under 3 hours. The village also lies on the popular Central Lakes 555 bus route, making it simple to explore the heart of the Lake District without the need for a car. Road connections are equally convenient, with Junction 36 of the M6 only 10 minutes away.

Community spirit is strong, with local amenities including a well-loved bowling club and The Athenaeum – a hub for social events, gatherings, and activities. Together with its unbeatable location and excellent connectivity, the village provides an ideal base for both locals and visitors alike.

From the road, steps lead up to a welcoming front porch, opening into a bright entrance hall. On this level you'll find a single bedroom with front-facing window, a family bathroom with corner bath and vanity unit, and a spacious double bedroom that enjoys natural light from its large front aspect window. There's also useful under-stair storage.

A short staircase leads into a generous open-plan kitchen diner and living space, ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with an array of wall and base units, complementary worktops, tiled splash backs, and integrated appliances including a Neff 5-ring gas hob, oven, microwave, and fridge/freezer. Bi-folding doors fill the room with natural light and open onto a charming decked terrace, with further access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, a bright open room with countryside views doubles as a fantastic home office and reading lounge. This area formally was divided and used as a bedroom, and now flows through to a cosy lounge.

This inviting room features wooden ceiling beams, a wood-burning stove, and front-facing windows that frame the surrounding countryside with views over the distant Langdale fells and is the perfect space to unwind and enjoy the character and warmth of this charming home.

At the top of the property sits the principal bedroom, a well proportioned double with garden views, a modern en-suite shower room, and access to large attic storage, offering potential for further development (the current owners have obtained calculations from a structural engineer).

Outside, the rear garden is beautifully landscaped with steps leading to a raised patio and lawn, mature borders, and a peaceful summerhouse tucked at the far end, perfect for relaxing or home working. A single garage and private parking for multiple vehicles are also found at the rear, accessible via a separate lane which leads to Heversham Head.
