2 bed cottage for sale

Dufton, Appleby In Westmorland CA16

Tucked away in the heart of one of Cumbria’s most picturesque and sought-after villages, Burnside Cottage is a truly charming, two-bedroom period home brimming with warmth, character, and undeniable 'chocolate box' appeal.

Situated in the idyllic village of Dufton. Famed for its peaceful setting, community spirit, and stunning views of Dufton Pike, this delightful cottage enjoys an enviable position overlooking the village green, with uninterrupted views towards the dramatic rise of the Pennines and the iconic Dufton Pike itself, a landmark along the renowned Pennine Way.

From the outside, the cottage exudes classic country charm, with its stone façade and double glazed sash-style windows. Step inside through a welcoming porch, an ideal space to kick off muddy boots and hang coats or dog leads after long walks through the surrounding countryside.

The lounge is cosy and full of character, with original beams overhead and a beautiful aga multi-fuel burner taking centre stage. Whether you're curling up with a good book or relaxing after a ramble up the fell, it’s a room that invites you to unwind. The double-glazed sash window frames the lush village green and offers a captivating view of the ever-present Pike, which seems to gaze protectively over the rooftops.

Moving through to the kitchen, there is a sense of homely comfort and practicality. There is also a large utility room, generously sized and plumbed for a washing machine, offering an ideal opportunity to install a downstairs WC if desired.

Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms. The principal bedroom overlooks the tranquil rear garden, providing a peaceful retreat at the end of the day, while the second bedroom enjoys a stunning outlook across the village green and towards the surrounding fells. Both rooms offer enough space for generous furniture, with bedroom one comfortably accommodating a king-size bed. A newly installed shower room adds a touch of contemporary style, finished to a high standard with modern fittings.

The rear garden is a delight; elevated and enclosed with a traditional sandstone wall, the lawn is framed by mature, well-established planting. A lovely seating area offers a private spot to soak up the sunshine or enjoy a glass of wine while gazing out across the rolling fells.
