Lakeughs, Buckabank, Dalston, Cumbria
This attractive property is located on the very outskirts of Dalston in a
hamlet known as Buckabank. This distinctive two bedroom stone - built cottage
boasts some lovely original features.
The current family has lived here since the 1980’s. The buildings of which
this cottage is a part dates from the 18th Century when we understand it was
originally constructed as a Flour Mill.
Lakeughs consists of an Entrance Hall, Utility Room off, a Kitchen/Diner,
Reception Room, Snug and Two Double Bedrooms and a Family Bathroom on the
First Floor.
The property benefits from a private courtyard garden to the rear and has
mains gas central heating.
By car, Dalston town centre is approximately one mile. There is also a more
direct route on foot to the town centre of approximately ½ mile.
It is thought this property will make a great home for anyone who appreciates
the countryside as there are lovely quiet walks direct from the front door,
whilst having the convenience of Dalston, its amenities and the city of
Carlisle in close proximity.
The cottage would no doubt make an ideal home for first time buyers and would
equally make a good investment as a holiday let.
Viewings are highly recommended to appreciate the unique character of this
home.
